The thoughts and goings-on of some programmer dad.

Joystiq! Whooo!

It seems my comic has finally gained a little bit of recognition. That's right, I was featured on this week's webcomic pick of the week poll on Joystiq. Not only that, however, but people actually commented on it (see comments 11-13, 12 is my favorite). Now, I can't brag too much because Chris has been on there twice. Still, it's a pretty awesome feeling to be noticed on one of the internet's biggest game news sites. Anyhoo, since I'll be having guests I've gone through all the trouble of pulling together the RSS feed for the comic (use the icon above, or IE7's handy little dropdown box).

Digital Double - "Cheese Whiz"

Comic

Alright, first off the name's changed from F5 to Digital Double. Why? Well, I believe that more accurately reflects the intent of the strip as it's supposed to loosely be based off my life (my digital double). So that's that.

As for the comic itself, that stemmed from a crack induced conversation I had with devusb last week. This happens quite often. It's kind of scary...

The New Design is Here!

To celebrate my laptop being back I decided to finish up the new design and launch it. So, here it is! Everything is as it should be; my laptop is back, my blog is running on my own design again, uhhh.... other stuff... yeah. So, anyways, enjoy :-)

Vwaooo!

50 points for the person (who is not related to me) that can say where "vwaooo" comes from.

Anyways, I have good news! And, no, I didn't save a bunch of money on my car insurance by switching to Geico. No, it seems that my laptop has FINALLY been repaired (going on over a month now, I believe). From the repair center: "repaired- replaced fl inverter, fixed latch,and cleaned heatsink,very". It seems I got everything I asked for and thensome, though the heatsink was very what? Very big? Very sexy? Very... whatever?! I dunno.

Over the weekend I finally managed to snag that which I have been seeking my entire life. The very purpose of man's existance. The driving force of all creatures... a Super Nintendo Entertainment System!! (in box, even). Of course, no SNES is complete without the greatest game ever made... FINAL FANTASY VI!!! Ah, the sweet, sweet days of care free gaming, when all was right in the world.... it's a pity those days are gone.

Ah, well. I shall be off with sweet dreams of snes's and laptops in my head :-)
