Order Of The Stick, Redux...
"Treasure Type O" has just become my favorite euphemism. -
Writing, Writing, Writing...
Did more writing this weekend. Only 2K words on TOTSP, but that's because I spent Sunday morning working on editing the document to get in line with SJG's guidelines and using their template, something I should have done… -

To Quote Hiro...
Yatta! (I did it!)I've been struggling with getting nested headers in a java table working for three days now. Even with example code, I had to generalize a specific hard-coded case to one which would work for any arbitr… -

I get up this morning, I decide, "Today I will get X working. Then I'll stop."My work day is the typical 9-5. Got it working at 4:59. Woohoo! Go me!I get to go...er...home...a minute early today! :) -
Yeah, It Would Be Lot Like This For Me Too...
Lore tries to survive without the Internet.I know the feeling. Hell, blackouts make me twitchy. "Why can't I log on to see how long the blackout will last???" -

Why Lizard Doesn't Get To Design Online Games
OK, over on the VG forums, I've been having a lot of fun shooting some very stupid fish in a barrel. (Some people gank noobs in games; I do it on message boards.) One particular dim bulb took his 10th level character int… -
Where I've Been Wasting Time...
Beta-testing Vanguard. Here's a few screenshots... Qalia, the "Arabian" continet. If you didn't have vagina dentata issues before this... Statue in the elf noob zone.Annoying little buggers that fall out of trees … -
Life And Work Goes On...
Got a major demo/prototype thingie due in a few weeks, so I am cracking down pretty hard at the old Java code. The fact my dev environment keeps having crash/corruption issues doesn't help much. And I have only the bares… -
Back on Track, Writing Wise...
Finished up the first pass on Jupiter and the Belt for Tales Of The Solar Patrol. In his current incarnation, the Overlord is pushing 900 points (in GURPS!), but that's likely to change. I statted out all his armor and w… -

Lizard Files A Bug Report
My latest VG bug filing. I hope it brings a chuckle to whatever poor drone is buried in the thousands of bug reports piling up...I just saw a tauriten hunter fighting a plains leaper. Except that the leaper was turned aw… -
Movie night
So, we ended up seeing "Night At The Museum". I really enjoyed it for what it was, some nice imaginative fluff with plenty of sensawunda and nothing to cause any poor, tired, neurons to fire when they were trying to take… -
Slightly Longer Entry
Spent most of Sunday in a near-coma due to a very light dusting of The Bug That's Going Around. So, TOTSP only got 1,000 words done on Saturday, so I'm making it up over the course of a week. Four kitties on the bed, no … -

Monopoly Dressing
So, yesterday, in the store, I say to Jane:"OK, we need yams, paper towels, soda, monopoly dressing."I have no idea why I spoke the last two words. They make no sense. It's as if there was a buffer overrun in my brain an… -
Patch Note Of The Day
Well, now it can be told. I'm beta-testing Vanguard, which just went into open beta and has lifted the NDA. I *wanted* to post my long rants about the game which I'd placed on the message board, but they decided to wipe … -
Today's Silly WoW Song
I tend to improvise song fragments while gaming. For example, this one (TTTO "Blowing In The Wind")How many firbolgs must one druid killBefore he is neutral to the rest?Yes how many firbolgs must he lay in their graveUnt… -
Yeah, I'm alive...
Got into Beta for an upcoming MMORPG. The NDA is still on, so, I can't talk much about it yet. But, IAE, that's where I've been spending my free time. Granted, most of that has been spent reloading after a crash or watch…
