el four em three
Oct. 30, 2001
I'm so lame. No post for 12 days. That's just horrible. The worst thing about it is that I spent most of those days playing Final Fantasy 9 instead of doing anything useful with my time. While Kim was away, I rented FF9 from the local Hollywood video and spent most of her absence playing it. I put it on par with the 7th in the series. Not as good as the SNES versions, but far superior to the crap that was FF8.
One interesting thing: I've actually received email from a person who I don't know that is interested in using Lumberjack. The only problem is (and again, this relates to my lameness) I did a half-assed job on the user's guide so the person is having a difficult time installing it. Hey, its a learning experience. I'm discovering just how much information I left out of the user's guide, so now I can fix it. Its really exciting to have an actual user that isn't on denialofpurpose.
A saw a few good movies while Kim was away. Probably the best of these was "The Messenger," which was a brutally violent depiction of the life of St. Joan of Arc. The ending was a fairly accurate portrayal of the experience many mystics have toward the end of their lives. Other movies include: Iron Monkey, The Legend of Drunken Master, The Cell, Office Space, and Titan A.E. Office Space was pretty funny. It lived up to the hype everyone was giving it. Thankfully, my software job doesn't suck like the guy in the movie's.
All this crap with MS XP and .NET just makes me want to stop running Windows right now. If it weren't for DirectX lock-in with PC Game companies, I would seriously uninstall it right now.
