Also, haircut.

Specialist Robert Heckrote - the youngest of my high school {Vice Principal|Dungeon Master}'s four kids, has been awarded a Bronze Star.

Heckrote’s medal is particularly rare. A Bronze Star for Valor, it was presented for his actions on Aug. 23, 2005. While he was serving as a rifleman in a security detail during a military operation, the soldiers came under fire from snipers and enemy soldiers wielding AK-47s, according to a medal citation read during the ceremony.

Two U.S. soldiers assigned as trainers for the Iraqi army were shot, and Heckrote positioned his vehicle to provide cover for the fallen men. He then exited his Humvee and administered first aid to those injured.

“Specialist Heckrote, with total disregard for his own life and welfare, displayed an immeasurable amount of valor,” said Sgt. 1st Class Douglass Francke. “(He) displayed a true genuine quality of selflessness and valor, instinctively.”

“I just followed directions,” said Heckrote, a Liberty resident. “I didn’t think much about it.”

FFV Spirit : one of the better Final Fantasy 5 walkthroughs I've stumbled across, and one of the least confusing in terms of keeping gba/playstation name and class differences from interferring with the walkthrough itself.

Found it by freak chance at home and was unable to refind it at work. Hence the post. :P

13:59 < solios> man I fucking hate the basestar brain.
14:00 <@bda> Yup.
14:00 < solios> I mean, it works. But for fuck's sake.
14:00 < solios> after the mess of glop that pours out of the raiders, I was expecting, yanno.
14:00 <@bda> Muurrrderrrr
14:00 < solios> more than a psycho in a tub.
14:00 <@bda> IS THIS NOW?
14:00 < esch> That's uh, something else, bda.
14:00 <@bda> It's another crazy bitch in a tub, Ryan.
14:00 < solios> bitches.
14:00 < esch> O_O
14:01 < solios> hah.
14:01 * solios minority reports esch
14:01 < esch> I was referring to the stomach yelling.
14:01 < solios> O_o
14:01 <@bda> Bitches in tubs / Precoggin' with your face / Bringin' down the fire / Just like Kara Thrace
14:01 <@bda> Break it down.
14:01 <@bda> esch: Yes.
14:01 <@bda> My roommate.
14:01 < solios> asdf
14:01 < solios> omfg
14:01 < solios> bda++
14:02 < esch> You just made me scared of PA.
14:02 <@ejp> bda: you're a little broken
14:02 <@bda> You just can't handle my phat rhymes.

23:08 <@bda> [current VGCats] # Is this a Macross ref?
23:08 * solios checks
23:09 < solios> nafaik
23:09 <@bda> Minmei device.
23:09 < solios> oh.
23:09 <@bda> Using music as a deadly weapon against alien invaders.
23:09 < solios> naw.
23:10 < solios> oh.
23:10 < solios> naw.
23:10 < solios> I think if anything, Macross was a commentary on just how fucking repllant pop music really is.
23:10 < solios> I choose to think of it that way because the only thing I FUCKING HATE OMFG* about macross is that little bitch and her mouth, when she opens it.
23:10 < solios> because pain comes out.
23:11 < solios> vgcats++
23:11 <@bda> No, it was culture that was the actual problem. jpop was supposed to be the epitome of culture, which the giant alien dudes couldn't take.
23:11 <@bda> Or whatever.
23:11 <@bda> Fucking stupid.
23:11 < solios> yeah.
23:12 < solios> so it's like black comedy that way, imo.
23:12 <@bda> boo
23:12 < solios> eh.

* Weapons-grade Sweet & Innocent™ has always irked me. I have my reasons.

 

This Manifestation Of Mac OS X happened to occur on the same wall that is being pissed upon on the cover of Anticlever.

Coincidence? I think not.

I used this macosxhints article to quickly and painlessly turn my powerbook into a home DS WAP. Getting my wrt54gl set up at work was a simple matter of holding the reset button in for 30 seconds, then plugging it into the LAN. Whoever says getting the DS to talk wireless is a pain in the ass is obviously using that damned security thing all the trendy kids are into these days.

Send me mognet email in FF3, plz. I want to try out the Onion Knight (see here), and get me some uberitems.

I can't imagine playing MKDS over teh wiffy - 95% of the fun of that game is group play in meatspace - I had a great time playing with john and eric when I was in Philly.
