Coolest thing that happened to me this week….

So…what’s the overall verdict?

I see that Jean has linked from my old blog to this one. What do those of you who are visiting both (or have visited both) think of the new one? I still need to play with template a bit more to personalize it, but overall…what’s the verdict?

Email woes…

So we’re going on 26 hours with no email on campus, and you can tell people seem disconnected. Profs can’t send out reminders of assignments, classmates can’t plan things or send articles back and forth…it’s a real pain in the ass. Hopefully it doesn’t go another 26 hours, but I’m not betting on it. Sounds like it was a pretty terrible hardware/software crash. For those who want to see the status of the email server:

Random quotes from my day:

1. “You are capable of thumping the kitties on the head.”
2. “Bread…..and a print cartridge.”

Trying to figure out why there’s so much space between title and posts…it seems to only happen when I use HTML in a significant way. Very interesting.

Just some quick shots from my weekend…The upper left pic is Barron, the co-creator of Raw Deal, who drove down from Connecticut for the tourney. The upper right is a shot of the crowd playing, and the lower right is a picture of the WWF Hardcore Belt that was the prize for the tournament on Saturday night.

The lower left pic deserves some special explanation….one of the many things that fans of a wrestling card game do is, well…some of them tend to make you remember that *fan* is short for *fanatic*. This is a wrestling move known variably as the Acid Drop or the Dudley Dog, and the picture is of Dan Lopretto and Rob Drexler executing said move. Don't ask what the outcome was.
