    This tech has the ability to completely turn the industry on its head in a few years, not to mention finally bring braille to all sorts of electronics.

    New computer (used of course), a c2q with 4 gigs of ram, a 500gb caviar black HD and my new 120 gb intel ssd and finally a gts 250 all lurking in a gigantic but surprisingly quiet antec sonata iii case. I am pleased. Also astonished by how fricking irritating it can be to install windows, this time because I wanted to created a 64-bit install USB from inside a 32-bit windows system. OH NOSE

    In the future, the Berlin wall will be a mile high, and made of steel. You too will be made to crawl, to lick children's blood from jackboots. There will be no creativity, only productivity. Instead of love there will be fear and distrust, instead of surrender there will be submission. Contact will be replaced with isolation, and joy with shame. Hope will cease to exist as a concept. The Earth will be covered with steel and concrete. There will be an electronic policeman in every head. Your children will be born in chains, live only to serve, and die in anguish and ignorance.

    Got another paper published. Nothing fancy, but one less thing to worry about from the ol' doctorate.

    The curious case of the HD that was visible in bios but invisible in windows has been solved, now I have 500 GB of storage space that I honestly don't know what to do with. Make it my default download disk? But it's so much slower... oh well, at least I'm getting my money's worth. Tried running ChromiumOS from a USB stick but that didn't work

    Seriously I've had three Caviar Black's (sounds so...dirty!) fall apart on me, don't trust that piece of shit for anything worthwhile

    Holy crap Diablo 3 in normal mode is like a point-and-click interactive story once you activate God-mode I wonder how much of that advantage will carry over into Nightmare

    God-mode? Playing a barbarian or monk?

    Game doesn't get really difficult until Hell for ranged classes, or Inferno Act II for barbarian/monk.

    Of course that post was supposed to go in the game thread

    Bejewelled monk flawless square gems (best value at the time) liberally socketed into dexterity-boosting rare equipment bought dirt-cheap. Approached 300 dps in my twenties and enjoyed constant and powerful healing (65/hit + passive/defensive skills) + AoE snares/attacks so I could just suck in the mobs and munch 'em up rather than chasing them. I can't decide if this was fun or boring; overall I think it was fun because it was much less of a grind and I'm still too new to this sorta entertainment to appreciate the hard work.

    Too much magic-find boosting equipment though, frickin' nightmare for a packrat such as myself. Most of my money has gone towards storage


    Anyway I was surprised and thrilled; I'm not usually one to invest in a game in this way and it's nice to be rewarded. I also liked getting good deals and I imagine I won't get to enjoy that aspect as much in the coming levels.

    Got one of these as a graduation gift:

    http://assistent.nu/en/assistent_original.aspx

    Today we used it to make dough for delicious buns (cinnamon, hazelnut paste, vanilla custard) and just a little while ago I used it to grind leg-meat from chicken, mushrooms, onion and Swedish crisp-bread. Turned that into delicious burgers flavoured with blue cheese and herbs and now I can't stop thinking about food to grind down so yummy. Have to buy the pasta- and milling accessories.

    There's a new game
    We like to play you see
    A game with added reality
    You treat me like a dog
    Get me down on my knees

    We call it master and servant
    We call it master and servant

    It's a lot like life
    This play between the sheets
    With you on top and me underneath
    Forget all about equality

    Let's play master and servant
    Let's play master and servant

    It's a lot like life
    And that's what's appealing
    If you despise that throwaway feeling
    From disposable fun
    Then this is the one

    Domination's the name of the game
    In bed or in life
    They're both just the same
    Except in one you're fulfilled
    At the end of the day

    Let's play master and servant
    Let's play master and servant

    It's a lot like life
    And that's what's appealing
    If you despise that throwaway feeling
    From disposable fun
    Then this is the one

    Let's play master and servant
    Let's play master and servant

    Let's play master and servant
    Come on, master and servant

    Finally got a publication (after some minor changes). It's a co-authored piece though.
