I added the rest of the gaming session to the end of the previous entry. “continued” link below jumps to the new text. Serene is the first one out the door. Holfast can be seen following three people from a distance: the two soldiers (Bombin and Roscoe) and a woman in priestess robes, probably a follower of Tyr. The three of them are also running toward something… some sounds of a commotion. ...
Finally (!!) I got around to hosting the first session of my D&D 3e Forgotten Realms campaign. Session notes posted to … As our scene opens, four adventurers have come from the Shieldmeet festival in Battledale and have ridden pretty hard to get through the forest before nightfall. They manage to emerge from the forest proper just as the sun is setting (easier to do in the peak of summer) and they reach the town of Ashabenford just as it’s starting to get dark. more…
Happy 3.14 day everyone! (But especially jake!)

I have some smart people on my friends list, so please allow me to pick your brains. If web programming and/or databases aren’t your thing, please move along. :) I have a project here at work that I need to slap together in about a week. It doesn’t have to be fancy, as it’s mostly going to be used by me and a couple others on my team. There’s a bunch of data that I want to dump into a mysql db, and then I want to be able to create three or four web pages that correspond to certain SQL queries. I am pretty comfortable with the mysql part, and I could create the web pages/forms that I want, but doing so in perl would take me a long time. ...
Miche and I had a fight tonight. It started with her saying she didn’t really want to do (some activity we’d agreed to do that was important to me) because of a stomach ache, and I said “No I don’t feel that’s OK, I feel like you broke a promise to me”. She felt I was overreacting and ended up leaving the house. She sent me a text message an hour later asking to be picked up from the Safeway. She doesn’t seem to be angry now, just tired and a bit out of it. I said I was sorry for overreacting and for not telling her how important (activity) was to me.
I got a new keyboard. Yes, those are blank keycaps. Yes, it’s quite interesting to type completely without looking, especially passwords. I actually do fine on just straight letters, but I seem to look down a lot for control, numberkeys, etc.
We had a lovely dinner at La Pastaia with da_zhuang attending. Everything was delightful. Highly recommend it. I haven’t updated in a while, but the short update is that I took a week off, got a fair bit done to prepare for kitchen work, and am now back to work and killing more spammers. I’m still not allowed to kill them with my claw hammer, but killing them just the same. ...
This is a test of proportional-representation style voting: Pizza Toppings Election. Feel free to vote if you’re interested in seeing (useless) democracy in action. Like the Green Party, there won’t actually be pizza, just a vote about one.
