If you’ve ever wondered how the various Zelda games fit together (I mean, there are what, 2 NES, 1 SNES, 3 GB/GBC/GBA, 2 N64 and a GCN game), try this site. the guy does a good a job as anyone tying all of the various plot elements into a cohesive timeline (although I agree that the Capcom joint-venture Oracle games [Oracle of Ages and Oracle of Seasons] for the GBC really don’t fit in anywhere). ...
Update: 2004-02-16: For those of you who are too stupid to type the URL into the “Address” field of your browser instead of into the Google search form, please note the following: (a) There are no torrents available to download from this site. (b) If you really want to figure out where Hawkie’s has gone to, look at the damn source to their “old” home page. We now return you to the previous entry: ...
Memo to myself: visit the H.P. Lovecraft Historical Society more often. Particularly, before Christmas. Addendum: buy “A Very Scary Solstice” on CD, and listen to it constantly during the holiday season, just to freak people out.
Well, it’s my birthday today. There’s not really that much to say about it; I’m at work, and I really wish I’d brought the Gamecube that I bought myself as an early present on Saturday. Events like birthdays, at least in my mind, are a time for personal reflection. But what to reflect upon? I’m finally losing weight, and once I get past the holidays I’m well on my way to my target weight. I’ll probably even start working out after the new year (although I may get my membership in December to beat out all the price gouging that I imagine happens after everyone makes their New Year’s resolutions). My finances are looking up for the first time since I got a credit card (back in 1995, finally paid off 3 years ago), and I may even get a savings account soon. My career is kind of on a back burner, but that’s not unexpected considering the fact that EVERYONE in my line of work is experiencing career setbacks due to the dot.com bust. ...
This article, which I found linked from dotclue, expresses wonderfully my opinion on firearm ownership. Well, the first half at least; I also agree wholeheartedly with the other half, although I don’t own any firearms myself. This isn’t really open for discussion, but it IS how I feel on the subject.
Some day, I’ll want to read The Second Coming by W.B. Yeats again. And I won’t have to wish I’d bookmarked it, because here it is.
I bought one of these (the “squared” model) the other day. It seems like a neat little notebook; it holds everything I need. I suppose I should think about writing something “significant” in it, but really I don’t have anything significant going on right now. I’m pretty much using it as a day planner, without the dates printed on every page. I just write what needs to be done, and if I’m feeling meticulous enough, I also write the date above where I start. The square-ruled pages are handy, because it makes it easier for me to draw “checkboxes” for TODO items. ...
And calling tech support from work when you’re having a problem with your home computer is like driving your jaguar to the mechanic, and saying “I’m having a problem with my Camaro; can you fix it?”
Home is 30.22135N 97.74433W 631’ Elevation I found my GPS reciever, and had a couple of AA batteries sitting around. Unfortunately, it’d been so long that I had to reconfigure it. It took nearly 5 minutes to get a lock on 4 satellites, and get elevation data. Oh, well. Maybe I’ll start geocaching again; that’s fun. I’ll just have to start getting up earlier (i.e., while the sun’s still up) ...
I think there’s a god out there somewhere, and that he (she, it, whatever) wants me to get out more. Case in point: I woke up today at around noon (it was my day off). I spent 4 hours watching some episodes of Family Guy that I’d downloaded, and then went back to bed. I got up around 11:30, and began making preparations to leave for work. Make a salad, grab my bag, etc. Then my truck won’t start; the battery’s too low (although the dome light is on, kinda). I end up walking to work; it takes me an hour, and it’s uphill most of the way. ...
