Work, day 6 (and Student Wars, and masks)

Posted on by

Student Wars: Loose Ends has been finished and uploaded for your viewing/playing pleasure. There are probably a lot of typos, so please be kind.

Also, there are now people masks in Junk, including a Tom mask (happy, Tyler?).

Work today went decently. I finally got admin rights, and so was able to do all the installs needed to actually do my job. Huzzah! I set up and tested some peer code review programs, and hopefully they won’t break horribly. So yeah.

Wheee!

Edit:People wearing the masks!

Me as 8.

Greg as Zach.

8 as 8… backwards.

Work, day 5

Posted on by

I really should update this more often…

Work on Friday was good. I got my first task done, and the higher-ups seemed mostly happy with the results, so huzzah!
Work today wasn’t nearly as exciting. My advisor peoples and/or boss are in all-day classes until Thursday, and I still don’t have admin access to my machine. This combination means I don’t really have much to do except read the documentation for various code review software packages that they want me to set up and test (which I can’t do until I have admin to my computer). Bleh. Tomorrow will likely be the same, unless I can somehow expedite the admin process.

Student Wars Loose Ends is 13 cards away from completion. I’ll probably finish it tomorrow evening if I feel up to it.

There was an electrical fire in front of Joe Mamas when we went for all-you-can-eat pasta.





Randomness

I wonder how many people remember the “I want a standing ovation” thing from freshman orientation. Meh.
I was browsing through photos for Student Wars and came across some orientation pictures, and it reminded me of that.
In any case, Loose Ends is slightly more than half done. If I’m not lazy this upcoming weekend, I can probably have it out by Monday… not that anyone really cares anyway.

The flight yesterday was mostly uneventful. There was an interesting kid behind me in line at the security checkpoint, but I’ve already written about this in my LJ, and I don’t really want to repost it here.

Super-special bonux thank you points go to Klipper for picking me up from the airport yesterday. Really, you made things a lot easier for me, and made it so I had time to do cluster games and everything. Thanks :D

Alan playing Starcraft.

According to Facebook, I now know 6 Alans (besides myself; plus one Allan). Interesting, especially given that 4 of them have been in this past year.

Tonight should be good. In fact, most of today should be good if I manage to actually contact all the people I’ve been wanting to contact and who have been wanting to contact me.

Back in Arizona

Posted on by

As the post title says, I’m back in Arizona for a week and a half. Wheeee.

Photos from various events (Alisa’s movie night, Networks review session, matthewj portraits, and last night’s game night) have been uploaded to Photos.

Q: How did I miss this picture yesterday? BAM!

A: I just don’t know!

Yay for games!

Yeah, that’s basically it :-P
I’m already homesick. Can’t wait until I head back.

Also, dialup sucks.

Games and foo

Tonight was Top Secret Video Game Party X and it was awesome.



The past few days have been filled with general happiness and movingness and spending with with peopleness, and have just been amazing and perfect. I’m really wishing I didn’t have to go away for a little while.

In about 11 hours I will be on a plane heading back to Phoenix, where I shall remain for a week and a half before coming back here for my summer job. Wheee. Unfortunately, I will be getting my wisdom teeth out on Friday, so that will be an adventure. Blah.

Not particularly much else to comment on. There will be a full photo gallery of images from this and the Networks study sessions eventually at photos, but not now since it is 2:30 and I should sleep.
