Well my mates thought that Dilmah turning 18 was a good excuse to get him plastered (and I obliged, since whatever, it's like a worldwide tradition ). I remember a strong wave of hesitation when I saw the warning on the packet about cancer. If the morning after smell isn't what stopped me, staring at the warning on the packet all night afterward in my friend's singlet pocket did.

It's snowing like a beast here in the boonies and very windy. Yay! Winter's back!

My efforts at reanimating the dead have not been very productive.

It's been a long time since you heard that zombies were originally used to work plantations, so I suspect there's a reason for that.

Just ordered a new video card and a new power supply to go with the rest of the hardware I bought last fall. Now all I need is pretty games to play on this hardware.

surprised that the next-day smell is what keeps people from smoking.  instead of say, lung cancer.  or even the while-you're-smoking-it smell.

I worked at a hazmat and restoration company. Smoke matters little to me after coming into contact with some asbestos

Well first off, I didn't do that worldwide tradition thing 
Secondly, one cigarette isn't going to condemn you

Already at the tender age of 21, I plan to die young. I will ingest whatever I want, whenever I want, in whatever quantity I want.


And, for the record, it wasn't just the next-day smell--at least when combined with alcohol, it made me lightheaded, dizzy, and on the fast track to a headache.

I start to gag even when I'm walking near someone smoking outside.  I'll never understand how the hell people can stand that noxious, caustic stench.

i spent all day working on my lua based game engine. i finally got everything working again but i dont have any new features to show for it. i should probibly sort my polygons to save the overhead of changing textures. speaking of which i dont have any sort of texture class. right now im using a tga loader that came with one of the examples. i have my own, but it doesnt format the data in the way gl expects, and frankly id rather use dds over tga, mainly because of lua's outrageous memory usage. i will of course write such a loader from scratch like i prefer to do.  reguardless i need a general system for loading and managing bitmaps. right now every polygon has a texture number, but these index into a local list of material names for that model. i figure the best way to deal with those is to, after model load, load and see if the material names are in some centralized material store, if not add them, and then re-map all the material ids to their corresponding indices in the bitmap store (either directly or through a mapping to the local material numbers).

i did actually add some features now that i think about it. i did add a bounding box and radius calculator, i cleaned up some of the tables (ommitted an unneccidary subtable in my vertex and polygon classes and stuck the data into the root table instead, since all the other data used named indices, does not affect length computation and so all iterators work fine), fixed my face normal computations, cleaned up vector classes, removed a bunch of poorly written constructors (i swapped the one constructor fits all paradigm, with one focusing instead on a fast constructor for every situation). il probibly need to change my matrix classes to column row order (opengl yay!), though im not using them yet.

Singlets with pockets are great! (I meant that I could see just the warning out of the pocket...not anything else>>)

No, but really, he's becoming a Rifleman in the Army so I guess boganity is more of a pre-requisite. In related news, despite ****ing my interview up after a bare 1.5 hours of sleep, I passed and have been recommended for an Officer Selection Board. Still pissed as **** that I didn't blitz it like the last one!

Hey, any landing you get up from is a successful landing



So, what's everyone's plans for the 14th?

[Scotty]

Sit in my normal seat in the dorm floor lobby.  Probably get something to eat in the meal halls.

Yeah, not much for me to do on Singles-Awareness Day

Perhaps in Australia Singlets are something else entirely but in the States at least its the uniform for wrestling (Greco-Roman not WWF).  Lets just say I wouldn't wear one in any other circumstance besides on the mat. 

[Dilmah G]

I see. Well over here they're what you'd call 'redneck' attire, although I wear them more often now for comfort in the intense heat happening here in Kangaroo land.

EDIT:



More or less what my friend and I were wearing. Turns a bogan item into an....even more bogan item of clothing!

I didn't know you could get more bogan than the standard singlet (combined with shorts and thongs, of course). You learn something every day.

[Dilmah G]

You do indeed. Not a shorts/thongs man, however.

Thank god I'm not the only one
