After trying to contact Ubisoft to provide them with feedback on Rocksmith (and receiving little more than an automated response,) I figured I might as well put my feedback here for all the good it’ll do. So here’s a list of things that I think they could improve. Why do I have to press 3 buttons to get into the game? Press A, Press Start, Press A… come on, I got 10 minutes to get my fix, and it takes 2 minutes to load up and get to a song.

Finally Finally Finally! Third revision of Ziggy’s first book is done. Now I’m looking for beta readers to read it and give me feedback on strong and weak parts of the story. Synopsis This is an autobiography of a man trying to find his place in the world. That world is the Kingdom of Willis, where Wizards are regulated, elves are under siege, Gnomes and Dwarves have locked themselves away, and an undying tyrant is feared by all.

So this year I managed to snag the Humble Bundle package;Â If you’re not familiar with it, it’s a pack of Indie Games bundled together. There are five good reasons why you should consider getting it: Name your own price ($5000 or $0.01 – your call) You choose who the money goes to (charities and/or developers) If you pay more than the average donation, you get Humble Bundle #1 from last year.

So I think I need to actually keep track of the Wii games I like so I don’t lose track of them. Here’s what I recall being worth buying, what I am anticipating, and what were good purchases. Mario Kart Wii (bought) Excite Truck (bought) Mario Galaxy Mario Strikers Charged Warioware: Smooth Moves PuzzleQuest Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess Metroid Prime: Corruption Spore (?) More to come as I think of them.

So Ian is staying with Jackie’s mom this weekend. Jackie left to drop him off about 10am friday morning with the intent of being back in Troy to pick me up around 6pm. Around 3pm one of the guys I work with walked into the room and began a conversation like this: [matt] Anyone want tickets to see Kids in the Hall? [me] How much? [matt] Free. [me] ooh, I’ll take them!

Had an amusing conversation with a developer at work that had the feeling of an abbot and costello bit. I’m leaving his name out of this to protect him, but he’s read this site before and will know instantly that it’s him. The conversation revolves around our new continuous integration system, and how the terminology has changed. BTW, QA=Quality Assurance, UAT= User Acceptance Testing (staging) (10:50:50 AM) morgajel: ok, so after talking to mick, it looks like my suspicions were correct

I’m claiming the win on this one… remember that the tinyURL that this bot messages is in fact a link to tubgirl. 15:14 -!- Pats-Sox [~no@fw.mdchomes.com] has joined #asp 15:18 we dont want any chowda heads in here 15:25 "chowda head"...I don't know why that just caused a really really bad "yo momma" joke to pop in my head 15:28 I just googled "chowda head" for the heck of it. This site is pretty funny.

Here’s a story from Christmas that I almost forgot to share. Every year we get together- my parents, brothers, aunt and uncle, cousins and grandparents. We go through dinner, do the present thing, then the grandparents leave. That’s when things usually degenerate below the average level of stupidity. The incident started when my brother Jamie (24) and cousin Walker (29) were talking about getting high from nutmeg. I don’t think Jamie believed it, so Walker offered to eat a tablespoon of nutmeg for $10.

It doesn’t get better than Chocolate Chip Bacon Cookies. Since this is actually the second link I’ve seen about bacon that I wanted to share, I’m gonna start a new Bacon category.

So Jackie’s been sitting at home with Ian for 4 months now and is incredibly bored. All she every does is read. I suggested a hobby, but she doesn’t really have any (except scrapbooking, which is expensive)- So what I want to do is get some ideas from all the people who read my site. Here are the base rules: cheap- no more than $25 start up cost and that must last 3 weeks.

This letter was written in 2002-2003 to an interim head of the CS department about a class I had just taken. To protect the guilty parties, I’ve removed their name and replaced it with a Tomato. it’s somehow fitting. ——————— After talking to Chris S., I found out that you were interested in what “really” happened in Professor Tomato’s compiler class. I feel that I should share my story with you.

I recently wrote a nice little script in ruby for ldapifying new ubuntu servers- all the server needs is a ssh key set up for root, the rest is cake… jmorg@util3:~/base_configs# ./ldapify -h Usage: ldapify --install hostname [$options] ldapify --check hostname ldapify --uninstall hostname --install hostname hostname to ldapify(foo.pub.local) --uninstall hostname removes ldapification from hostname -a, --access_group access_group access_group that has access to hostname --no_group_dn No access_group limitations- use with caution.

So after 3 months of unemployment, I was offered a job over in Troy, so I’ll be moving about 3 hours away from Grand Rapids. The position is for a linux sys admin. Unlike the last place, this one seems like a winner from the get go- much more lively and has a (for lack of a better term) DC vitality, compared to companies in Grand Rapids which sort of feel like they’re recycling coffee grounds and requesting employees bring in their own toilet paper.

a couple of weeks ago the lotto hit $200 million, and I bought my annual lotto ticket. The lotto has a strange effect on people. It gives hope where there is none. Even I sat at a redlight imagining all of the wonderful things I could do with that amount of money. Of course erasing family debt, replacing vehicles, real honeymoon with jackie, etc was at the top of the list, but what would *I* do after that was said and done?
