Inspiration
So over lunch I was watching the Talking Heads in Stop Making Sense which I just got from Amazon. They were playing Burning Down the House when I realized Sony could totally destroy Microsoft. All they have to do is license this song for the PS3 ad campaign!
"Dreams walking in broad daylight
Three hun-dred six-ty five de-grees
Burning down the house"
Change the name to PS 365 - and that's clearly five better than Xbox 360! Who wants a paltry 360 degrees when they could have 365?
(That sound you just heard was me making Bwana's head asplode - even across the Atlantic Pacific* ocean)

Darn Script Kiddies
Sorry if you tried to access my site from around 11 PM to 12:30 AM Pacific time on Monday night. I was playing in a Magic Online tournament and at the start of one round some idiot script kiddy was banging the crap out of my net connection - enough so to make playing unfun (and it's not like MTGO is a big bandwidth consumer either). I didn't have time to analyze it, so I just shut the server off. Thanks random guy from Australia!
If somebody knows some easy, straightforward way to throttle down an Apache 2.0 server, drop me a line. I looked at it a bit, and it's not very straightforward - honestly it's probably more trouble than than I really want to undertake. There are some simpler patches for Apache 1.3 but of course Fedora is using 2.0 already. (sigh)

MMORPG - in a nutshell
I've been on this mission. I think we all have. And we all have our own inner Leroy . . . .

BHRT Kicks it down to E3
Two Hooters down, three to go. We're rolling on the Big Honkin' Road Trip 2K5 which is wrapped around E3 as happens often these days. We've been geeking out a fair amount - we listened to quite a bit of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy radio serials yesterday while driving about and we'll probably get some more in today. I also purchased the soundtrack to Spamalot from iTunes for Monty Python fun.
Always remember - time is an illusion. Lunchtime doubly so.

Cool article on Tokyo
This has been sitting in my mail for far too long. Dave G. sent me a link to this article about Gibson and Tokyo. Worth reading.
