Should auld acquaintance be forgot
Time for some catchup again I think. I had a great Christmas, and I hope the same for you all. Invariably, people want to know “whatcha got”, so here ’tis:
I got a radio/cdplayer. I had been wanting a radio for the house for some time now. Now I just need to find a place in the house with some decent radio reception 🙂
I got some of my nasty little cigars (Black-n-Mild Fast-Breaks). Something I can smoke fast enough to not freeze to death out on the porch in the cold.
My wife bought me the Scott Sigler books I wanted, “Infected” and “Contagious”. I also have received some review books lately from APress, Automating Unix and Linux System Administration, Pro Ubuntu Server Administration and Beginning Portable Sell Scripting. These looks like fantastic books, as all the APress books are. I just need a little time to peel through them.
During the Christmas break I finally got a chance to finish Daniel X Alien Hunter, which I had mentioned previously. Indeed, the illustrations and artwork are fantastic, however, the story line is quite disjointed. It is fragmented so much that in most of the cells there is a narrative box which serves to fill you in on the story a little more so you don’t get lost from frame to frame 🙂 Perhaps I am being too harsh. Then again, maybe not. I’d love to hear from anyone else that read it to see their opinion though.
That brings me to the New Year celebration:
We are bring in the new year with the TehShow, so do everyone a favor and get your booze on and join us on IRC. Stay home and stay safe (no drinking and driving anywhere). Personally, I am making my wife Sex On The Beach and Cosmo’s, and I am having Wild Turkey and Honey, Scotch and Coke, probably some Apricot Brandy, and maybe a little hillbilly Boonesfarm to wash it down. Then when I am good and warm, I’ll be talking on the show 🙂
I am sure some of you remember that I am not a beer drinker. Dann and Pat usually take care of that!
Unfortunately I have to work the 31st, so I can’t make an early start of it. Remember, 31st at 8:30pm EST at http://tllts.org.
