Exploring the depth of null.

At around 11PM CDT on 7 April, 2009, Dave Arneson, co-creator of D&D passed away. Rest in peace.

What is happening to our society? It seems every year, the collective intelligence and morality drops, as indifference rises. We are regularly hearing of people being wrongly targeted by our law enforcement officers using tasers, often to a lethal force. There are many that fight against this; they fight for justice and privacy and the rights outlined in our beloved Declaration of Independence and United States Constitution. But it can only go so far. There are only so many people willing to vocally fight.

I'm avoiding doing real work that needs to get done. Its been a while since I've posted, and people start to bug me when my blog goes silent for too long.

I've added a twitter feed, which you can see to the right. I'll probably start using it with more gusto eventually, right now, I'm not sure what purpose its going to take.

nulldomain has again been updated. New theme, cleaned of spam, and ready to do more stuff. I just spent some indeterminate amount of time cleanup up spam accounts and comment spam. I've also changed a few things that I hope will help cut down on the spam. We'll see what happens.

Another cycle has completed, and another has begun. I was going to write something interesting, but I don't have enough motivation to make words flow through my fingertips right now.

Happy new year.

And stuff.

My mind is blank. Time to go do ... something.

Those that attended the PA Q&A at PAX will know what that means.

PA East cost in 2010 in Boston. Dates not yet announced, but awesome.

I think next year, PA is going to conquer Seattle, much like they nearly did to Bellevue before moving the con to the Washington State Convention Center.

I want to start out and state that this is merely an opinion from someone who has not yet completed his degree and has not worked in the industry as a computer scientist or developer yet. With that out of the way, let me explain, in the following, fairly long post.

As those that know me know, I work tech support and have been for the past four years or so. Tech support is likely one of the most thankless and frustrating jobs one can take. There are far worse jobs in every aspect, but support is unique.

I never admitted to being a committed blogger. I'll still never admit it. Heck, the word blog still annoys the hell out of me. Maybe thats why I don't post enough. Doesn't matter...

So, some of you may be wondering what the hell I've been up to since the last post was, well, posted. Some of you could probably care less. Now you get to find out. Lucky you.

Wow. It's been nearly 4 months without an update.

Time tends to move way to fast when you barely have time to breathe.

We are about 2/3rds the way through this semester and rapidly approaching finals. Overall, this semester hasn't been too bad, but due to school and work, I've been nearly pushed to the limit a couple times. I need to find a better way of managing my time and managing life.
