Best. Party. Ever.

OMG, best Christmas party EVER.

Salesforce’s holiday party this year was held here.
That basically means that we have free reign of the entire center plus the planetarium and 3D theatre and, interspersed around the exhibits were tons of fancy food and booze stations… and outside in the garden there was a huge buffet table of gourmet desserts and a dance floor.

Mmmm…

No photos because I didn’t take my camera (I’m so glad I didn’t though), but I am so full and so amazingly happy and I love my company so much. :D

Internet fail

Got a pop up notification that my laptop needed to install some required SFDC updates. Fine, whatever. Did so, then it asked me to reboot when convenient, so I figured that would be fine.
Windows boots back up, and suddenly the UI is screwed up and, more importantly, I can’t connect to the internet anymore (it doesn’t get past the “Acquring Network Address” part).
So I bring the laptop to work (it’s raining right now too, argh) to file a helpdesk ticket and leave it here for tomorrow. Boot it up to reproduce the symptoms so I can write a better ticket and, lo and behold, it suddenly works. UI is fixed and network acquiring is happy. WTF.

So yeah, if it’s something about my home network, then I won’t be online for the rest of the day (and possibly Monday) until this gets fixed.

Edit: Fixed now, it seems. How incredibly odd.

Om nom nom nom?

Fresh Express so thoughtfully included some extra protein in my lunch salad today. What a nice feature…

>_<

I dunno, I was impressed that its wings were all present and fully intact, especially given how much I had mixed the salad up (and, unfortunately, eaten).

Card prints?

Posted on by

A friend referred me to a site where you can print a deck of customized cards for $5. They’re meant to be a deck of standard playing cards (54 cards), but you can fully customize both sides, which means I could potentially print Student Wars decks or Cluster card game cards or such.

I’m tempted to make new, nicer Cluster TCG cards and print a nice deck of them to play with. 108 should be enough… 98 unique for the deck and the 10 Objective cards, even though the website currently suggests 3 copies of each of the 67 deck cards (this seems excessive though… and 152 deck cards also seems high).

I guess I could also print one nice copy of each of the cards in the first two Student Wars v2 sets, but I feel weird spending $50 on something that’s just going to sit around in a binder. I would rather print two 54-card decks (or maybe four, one for each of the game’s primary affiliations), but that turns the game into a fixed-card game which seems to go against the entire point of making it a CCG.

Any thoughts/opinions/suggestions?

Edit: How’s this for a card back?

Tim made the comment that it’s really subdued, but that’s kinda the point since the card fronts are OMG COLOR.
