Looking at making a 20 questions page... Am I weird? For one of those tests...
If you had to pull up sticks and relocate to another place (real or fictional) for the rest of your life, where would it be? Arizona is my first realistic choice. The Seychelles is my ideal choice.
Arizona is a desert... almost no water. The Seychelles are a series an island chains. Can they be anymore opposite? Well... actually, my second realistic choice is actually Seattle which is the opposite of Arizona in the U.S.

You might be asking what prompted that last post? This poster did.

Is this validation to my Lawful Good alignment? The Ring Wraiths I love to hate. I almost bought a poster with them on it except that I knew that I could not keep it up for long without somehow defiling their image. Don't know how... maybe give them mustaches with white-out?

Also, I've never been a big fan of Gandolf. He is too flaky and inconsistent. Probably because he is Chaotic Good.

I know some of you may not be D&D geeks, so the above will be totally over your head

Ran into Dee yesterday. Okay, so she looks a lot more sophisticated now than she did back in high school. She instantly recognized me, but couldn't remember my name. Then again that was... 11 years ago?

Just to be fair, here is my senior picture from the same site.

From Calhoun at Find Your Viking Name.

Eyjarr the Fearsome

Your Viking Personality: You're a doughty, stalwart Viking. You have a thirst for battle, and tend to strike first and think later. You might be able to hold your own on the battlefield, but you're no "berserker".

A long sea voyage aboard a Viking longboat would be difficult for you, but you might be able to manage it. You possess some skills which other Vikings respect, though in your case their respect is tinged with fear.

You don't have a lot of tact, so it's lucky Vikings never cared much for diplomacy. The only people who trust you completely are the ones who've never met you.

I was gonna see K-Pax, but that is nixxed. Was going to my car when I ran across a poor woman with a flat. She was calling home on a cell for help in how to change it. Offered my poor, but somewhat experienced services in changing it. I've only had 1, 2, 3... 4? flat tires.

Her spare? At least 2 inches taller than her other tire so it had a tilt thing going. Hopefully she can find a good place to fix it tomorrow morning. Would be aweful and dangerous to drive as far as she had to go.

Guess she is right, I have my good deed for the month. Glad I made it. Only 3 more days for this month.

Nothing else in theatres I want to see. Guess I will go find something to do.

Yeah, I am back from Geeks in the Woods. Have a couple days to kick back before work resumes. No, coming in to check my email does not count as work. Just because I might answer someone's email to my doesn't mean I am at work, right? That is like counting answering someone's computer question at a party work.

Tried installing the wireless card last night. Chris said he could not get it to work without the Win 98 CD. Thought I'd try since I have one and the Matrix DVD was playing. It never took.

Kind of confused. Felt like I was someone else.

Still enjoying myself up here at the "Rock". Okay, geeks came up with the name for an a Georgia University Annual Computing Conference. Won't knock it. Joe is up to the task of keeping things on cruise control. I am enough of an Internet addict that I had to come check email. Though CP is a little pissy right now, is not going well.

For Joe: Really, anyone interested in multimedia. Frank Lowney's Quicktime Supplement.

Here are pictures of one of my sessions in the webcast. One Two (left side in the back is me). See other pictures which are of my session, but I somehow escaped. Joe, you need to teach these people how to do a real web cast.

Found this SiteSpeed Test interesting... One can get an average of the times various N American servers took to hit your web server. Of course, this one does not look at the contents of the web page and the time to download all of the items off of the page.

Computer crashed. Right in the middle of editing. Thank goodness my computers at work and home are not this unstable. Netscape and Internet Explorer have both crashed 3 or 4 times each.

Normally, I'd blame it on the sites, but I am not even accidentally hitting any porn or warez sites.

Okkaaaaay... Now I've got Tricky's "She Makes Me Wanna Die" in my head. Maybe I've played too many hours of Perfect Dark listening to that song looped? PD is more or less the Goldeneye sequel, completely different story but same and improved game engine.

This is actually kind of embarrassing... I am #1 of a Google search for "design portfolo". Did you notice it was mispelled? The page it goes to was mispelled for about 72 hours before I noticed fixed it, but Google must have picked it up and has not updated the name. A hit is a hit, right?

Miss Cleo must have known that I would delete the email before even opening it. Wonder if there is a viable lawsuit in there? She knew that I would not be interested and sent it anyway.

If only she were real and not a third rate actress?
