Desktop wallpaper

Hey all, not sure how everyone is about their wallpaper, but I just ran across this: http://www.desktoptopia.com/

Already seen some nifty wallpaper– more up the artsy kind, but right up my alley. Figured I’d share it in case anyone else is looking for something similar.

Server stuff

Matt and I are talking about moving to a new server. To make his life easier with the data transfer, now would be an excellent time to do some spring cleaning. If you have random large files that you aren’t using or if you have gigabytes of mail you haven’t deleted in a long time, time to delete it!

The future of music

I have decided to start a new genre called Agnostic Rock to compete with Christian Rock. It will include such bands as Unknowable, A Priori Objections, and Scintilla of Evidence. I just thought you all should know.

Collection time

It’s that time of year… It’s been a year since I last got paid for the server, so I’m collecting again. If everyone involved could send/hand me a check for $300 at their earliest convenience, that would be super. Matt and I are looking at moving to a faster and cheaper server, and if we do that, I can handle refunds at that time.

Merry Christmas Everybody!

Commercials

Over the weekend, I found out that a friend from high school wrote these commercials. They are all funny, and some are also bizarre.

Dwarf Fortress!

I’ve heard about this game for a while, but since they just recently updated it with a ton of new features - a functioning z-axis, making the game 3d, being the biggest change - I decided to give it a try. 10+ hours of gameplay later, I’m thoroughly hooked, and I can’t possibly recommend the game enough.

It’s essentially a sandbox world-building game. There’s no real “goal” aside from to survive as long as you can and build the biggest world possible. It uses ASCII graphics like a roguelike, but you can add in some graphical user-made tilesets if you’d like.

Info, forum, download link here: http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/

The wiki (good, if a little light since they’re still updating for the new version) for the game: http://dwarf.lendemaindeveille.com/index.php/Main_Page

Check out the “my first fortress” link on the wiki, as well as the other guides. The learning curve for the game is strange; it’s almost incomprehensible for like the first hour, but once you realize that all your options are always laid out for you in the menu, you can pick it up quicker and quicker.

Guitar Hero 3…. Wiiiiii

I’ve had it since Monday and Chris got it today, so we spent the day rocking out. Anyone else have it? If you want to be buddies, my friend code for GH3 is: 532690759192 Also, my Wii number is 7357 4294 4973 6118

SFO?

Alrighty, so who’s around/what’s going on this week/end up in the SFO area? Looking to get my rear up there and I’ve got the time right now.
