Broken Picture Telephone
Remember that telephone game as a kid? One person would start a message and then whisper it to the next kid and eventually it would morph and change based on how they heard it? Now imagine doing it on the internet but instead of whispers you use text and pictures, alternating back and forth. That is exactly what Broken Picture Telephone is.

Redoing my Computers
So, a few weeks ago I decided it was time to change my software setup. At the time I had the Windows 7 beta running on my desktop and laptop and FreeBSD running on my server. I switched it up by putting OS X back on my laptop (yay hackintosh!) and this time with sound working.
I also brought my server into my room and have started using it for TV and such. I realized that it was being used almost exclusively for storage and since it had a lot more power than that I wanted to use it for something else. That combined with my problem with a few games not liking dual-monitors made me recommission it as a Debian box which is sitting in my room now.

Here is my Apocryphai’s stats if you want to check them out, I’m a Blood Elf Shadowpriest on Mug’Thol.

Started This Work Term
So I started work almost 3 weeks ago now. The first day was boring. Really, really boring. It was basically lectures and a bit of paperwork end to end. And the lectures were not relevant to the work I was doing at all. Imagine you’re at any company, any company at all, and you have network guys who actually only deal with one other company (which is owned by your company) that is unrelated to all the work they do. Now you decide to tell them all about the other stuff you do. It really doesn’t matter at all, I couldn’t care less if you slaughter baby seals if all I’m doing is moving files onto a server.
