I was up last night until 3am playing, of all things, Magic: The Gathering. Hadn't played in about 5 years, and I was debating whether to store my meagre collection or give it away, then it turned out my friend who was here also used to play, and about two hours of sorting and choosing later we started playing... I lost three times, insisting on another round every time to redeem my lost honor.
I have SO DAMN MUCH TO DO today but I'm tired and it's already noon and all I've done so far is breakfast, coffee, cigarette #1, and FB+PDCOM.
There are boxes to be packed, goddammit! Not to mention all the bureaucracy! Next Wednesday I fly home. WTF.

So, hopefully, you won't be seeing me much until tomorrow. Oh yeah, and new nick+avatar, yay.

True Dat and Da Troof, obviously.

Welcome to PD. You'll probably want to find some of those helpful guides for newcomers. PD knows no mercy. Don't feed...those...things.

Or Kill Me / Re: Masks

Especially the part about why we wear masks, and that we both create the mask and the writing. I don't think that's often been said, and this is a very good way of saying it.

It reminds me of this TED talk I watched a while back, which effectively threw me right out of depression into a few whole days of being totally awesome.

Holy shit!  :lulz: :lulz: I love this!

DA RULEZ:  To be considered for a bio, you have to have been a member since 2006/2007 under your current account, and you have to have posted within the last 90 days.
Durnit, I signed up with this account 19 days too late. :argh!:
(I had a different account a year or two earlier where I think all I did was ask if anyone knows where I can buy the PD in the part of the USA I was then about to visit. :lulz:)
But don't mind me - keep going!

How can a fucking country/association of nations receive a fucking Nobel Prize?

This is stupid as fuck.
Federations are people, my friend.

Freeky, that's awesome! My parents are awful at money stuff, I wish they had stuff in that area to teach me!

Isn't it a bit weird, what with all the opression going on in Spain and Greece?  :?
I DONT SEE ANYTHING ABOUT THAT IN THE PAPERS HERE IN GERMANY SO ITS PROBABLY JUST A LIE.

It's been cold here for a couple of weeks, and today it started raining. Can't wait to get down to Israel, I can't deal with this kind of weather. :(

vex, that's true for insanely well-done stuff like stuxnet, so in this context you're probably right. But proprietary commercial software is good enough against less sophisticated attacks.

About the infographic: I love infographics, but this one is just a waste of bytes. It's nice to package information in an attractive shareable picture these days, but that should make it more accessible, not borderline illegible.

(ETA: Not saying the information is a waste of bytes, just the presentation, yeah?)

My buddy who was gonna come over tonight took a rain check due to sickness. Nobody else seems to be answering their communications devices that I would care to spend an evening with. G/f out at her friend's.
Not sure why this bums me out so much, probably because my days here are nearing the single digits and I've been spending them sorting and packing and trying to sell shit and spending the evenings with people I like is the only actually fun thing going on right now. Don't feel like slouching in front of the intertubes all evening, but as usual I can't seem to think of anything much better to do.
Meh.

Re BabHo: OIC. Yuck.

Mang: sounds like one hell of a story. Wish I had more time, and less books on my to-read list.

Anyone care to sum up in a couple of sentences how BabHo earned this level of loathing?
