Happy Noob Day (26 Dec 2004 at 18:20)

Merry Christmas to those that celebrate this thing. I had an enjoyable and relaxing time in Connecticut, up until this morning, when I started puking for the last twelve hours. This is my least favorite kind of ailment.

On Tuesday we are heading back to Pittsburgh, where I will take a New Years even flight to California to visit the girlfriend's family. I really hope I am better by then.

Yesterday was noob day (a day, like Christmas, when there is a huge influx of new, bad players) in Half-Life 2, so I had a really good time killing them all.

Tomorrow, stomach permitting, a bunch of friends from pittsburgh who are in CT this break will meet up at my house for a pilgrimage to Pepe's pizza. I have heard ominous rumors (essentially due to one person) that Pepe has gotten less good, so I am slightly worried about that. I trust them.

HSE: Real Books (14 Dec 2004 at 11:31)

I got my honest-to-goodness copies of my novel from the printer lulu today. These guys have gotten a lot better since last year; the cover printing shows no distortion any more (just a little noise in the colors, which is acceptable), the paper inside is thicker and not so typing-paper white, and the halftone is higher resolution. This really feels like a real book and I am so happy! But, since I've already read it like a bazillion times all I can do is hold it and put it in my bathroom and show it to other people.

PS. No song rocks more than the first one minute of The Fucking Champs' "Never Enough Neck Pt. 2." Yes, not even Lightning Bolt.

UPC Database (12 Dec 2004 at 12:48)

This is a really fun game if you have a cuecat barcode scanner. The game is: scan your products and see if they are in the database! It's like being a grocer!

Talks (09 Dec 2004 at 14:32)

I made some talks this week. The first was for Dan Spoonhower's birthday (which was themed as an academic conference, sort of), called A Judgmental Reconstruction of Daniel Spoonhower. It is very short. The second, which has some cute animations, was for the computational biology class I sat in on this semester, and is called Visualizing Inversions with BLAM.

NEW: His Sophomoric Effort (06 Dec 2004 at 01:53)

Phew! I am delighted to announce that, after a month of gruelling late nights and a week of editing, scanning, and graphic design, I have finally finished the first edition of His Sophomoric Effort. The cover is shown above in quantized 8-bit glory. You can check out the novel's home page to download it or you can order a nice softbound copy from lulu press (don't fear, CMU web police: I make no money off this! It's just for fun!), which is pretty cool. Or you can just ignore it but wow, then that'd be a whole lot of work for nothing!

Total word count: 55790 Total pages: 249
