    My hand is broken, nose is running and tummy protesting against my pain medecin. Atleast I still have Stargåte.

    ION, I need a Lylatwars (or Star Fox 64) screensaver that randomly says things like: "Zap the center eye, Fox" or "Hey, what's the big idea?"

    Man, laser computer mice are sensitive. If I pick mine up to move it, it's still tracking, and my screen pointer goes everywhere... LOL

    ION, it seems that a lot of my friends have lost their senses recently. It's getting pretty stressful.

    Hey, I can post again! Firefox kept locking up when I would leave my homepage and I'm not surfing the 'Net on IE.

    Kuemp, that's why I set SP to be my homepage :) Plus, it helps Tal out because then it is a guaranteed hit-a-day.

    Meh. Firefox does the job, but I personally prefer Opera. Tried Seamonkey too, it wasn't bad, but it certainly wouldn't be my browser of choice.

    Oh yeah - there was a batch of computers that were good for the trash at work today. I asked my boss if I could have them instead. He asked why... I told him I might try and salvage parts to build a BSD firewall. I did just that - I managed to salvage a mobo, RAM, HD, and even a SCSI controler card and SCSI HD! :eek:

    The box is fully functional. All that's left is to turn it into a firewall.

    As for the rest of the puters... I introduced them to my trusty old friend the sledgehammer. Oh yeah, I kicked things up a notch and welded barbed wire on the head of the sledgehammer. A lot of barbed wire. I even gave it a name - "Puters Bane".

    I hate computers. Unless they're in smashed pieces.

    Yeah, I guess you could call it so. I think TIG welding is called Tungsten Arc Welding.

    It requires more skill than MIG or SMAW, but TIG produces significantly better welds in experienced hands.

    I basically needed a dedicated box to use as a firewall to secure my own network at home. Rest assured I wouldn't have bothered if I didn't needed it.

    I would love to own an arc welder. Then I would build oversized and climbable sculptures in my tiny yard.

    Well, my arc welder is old, and not as powerful as it used to be, but it does the job. I should really consider getting a new one, though. It's a wonder this old thing still works.

    As for scupltures, I'm currently working on a 2:1 scale statue of a raven, complete with deployed wings.

    I plan on using an old technique I used back in the body shop in order to replicate the color a raven's feathers, and the finished product will not be painted, just sprayed with a few coats of clear. This will be my end-of-semester project.

    The others in my class find this project odd and somewhat disturbing, but I don't care.

    The one where Brian is left babysitting while Peter and Lois go on a second honeymoon. Then they steal a "sequel" to "The Passion of the Christ".
