Hic Sunt Dracones

But unlike David, it wasn’t the same day. It was actually a different day. The next day if you will.

Which you will.

Cool, gmail will let you view Power Point files now. I didn’t have power point at work, and it was occasionally annoying when people would send power point files to me. And yeah I be rolling WP2.2, aiight.

Yeah, that was smoothly inserted into the conversation wasn’t it?

DENNY CRANE: All those homosexuals, they join the NRA, take over the gun lobby, congress bends over and does whatever they want.

ALAN SHORE: A gay gun lobby.

DENNY CRANE: It’s the only answer.

- Boston Legal

That too. That too.

It’s 3:07AM and I’m doing two things, firstly I’m doing some work for a client in NZ who expects it done by 9am this morning (NZ time) and well that’s OK, because when else would I do it?

Secondly, I’m applying for a Real Job, with the Government of the Commonwealth of The Free Peoples of the Continent of Australia, luckily it looks like this one doesn’t require me to be a citizen. Less luckily it appears that the cut off was 5pm Sunday… But who has Sunday cutoffs? We all know they mean “on my desk by the time I arrive Monday,” guess I’ll see.

Oh, and I’m also rocking out. According to Winamp, I’m doing said rocking to “Rock Star (Nevins Classic Club Blaster)” a quick Google suggests to me that I have Dan to thank for this.

The harsh reality is that night time is much better for getting things done. Daytime is just too distracting. What with it having both things and stuff. Often simultaneously, and almost always in abundance.

That last sentence is a bit iffy.

This post also heralds the return of Google Analytics back to 24F, I think it’s been missing since some Word Press update many moons ago. Segue to –> A new WP came out. 2.2. It’s all hawt and stuff, I suppose.

Update: 5:03AM

So it turns out, “applicants must be Australian citizens.” and a big ya boo sucks to them. To cheer myself, and you up (for I know you be hard core empathising with me right now, amiright?) I present the following youtubery:

Team Fortress 2: Trailer.
Team Fortress 2: Meet the Heavy.
World of Warcraft: Dancing Style(z)
World of Warcraft: ROFLMAO (Mahna Mahna)

Also, Starcraft 2. I’m pretty sure I should be more excited than I am.

Oh oh oh. Now THIS is exciting to see.

OK, when I say it is exciting, I guess that is probably only true for a select few. And those few are damn nerds.

Normally I deny nerdiness in favour of staunch acceptance of my Geekiness – Hmm, I even capitalised that – However, when it comes to MTG, I think pretty much everyone agrees that MTG players are nerds. Well, perhaps they don’t. Perhaps they’re too busy with their lattes. Who knows.

It isn’t important. What is important is that this video has some kind of CCG with computer motion sensitive card recognising graphical representation combat going on, with bonus animated combat style ala Battle Chess.

Of course this is all getting back to Star Wars. Which, as Ben will assure you, is pretty much where everything goes back to in the end.

Specifically, in this case, the Holochess that is played on board the Millennium Falcon. (Not to be confused with the 3D chess in Star Trek. (OK, so yeah nerd is probably apt))

To counter, and up your nerd points for the day, I’ll let you know that holo chess is apparently called Dejarik. Digging my hole even deeper, I’ll acknowledge that this now brings the total number of fictional games that I know of in the Star Wars universe to two. So, don’t worry unless your Ben, you’re not as bad as me, and can feel OK.

When we played MTG I remember thinking that “in the furture” it will be fucking awesome if I can have some kind of holographic table top version of this game mixing something akin to MTG with Holochess. That I thought would rule.

And this Aquarian Age Alternative (crazy Japanese) looks like a pretty decent start down that road. So go them. Not sure how that crazy moving worked in with a turn based game, but I’m sure it makes sense to someone.

A little Googling later, and apparently MIT are also bringing us good times (eventually)

And that my friends is SUPER FLY.

Melbourne, it’s all around.

Don’t have a job, primarily through lacking of trying. Did have two job offers, well at least one, probably another. Told them both I wasn’t interested.

Know for certain that when we’re 45 and still think we can rock, and our teenage children look at us like we’re completely spastic, it will be because we’re be rocking out to Equador.

Buscarlos sonidos magicos indeed.
