As ... http://karma.deadmoose.com/blog/2006/06/16/negative-letters/ Maybe my new toy will help fill the empty spaces. http://karma.deadmoose.com/blog/2006/06/01/impulse-buying/ Seriously, man, this is exactly the shit I would see in the apartment in Fullerton. The UPS guy would come to the door, fill out the note saying “you weren’t here”, knock, slap it on the door, and turn to leave. I would be 10 paces from the door, make a ... http://karma.deadmoose.com/blog/2006/05/16/delivery-notice/ So, in no particular order… Things I would really like to spend some time hacking on, but I have pretty much zero free time at the moment between moving, marrying, releasing at work, etc. Asbestos Yeah, good old Asbestos. It’s been…a long time since I’ve had a chance to commit anything. There ... http://karma.deadmoose.com/blog/2006/05/09/things-i-would-like-to-hack-on/ Confidential To That Guy In The Bathroom: Hey, how about you don’t answer your phone in the bathroom? http://karma.deadmoose.com/blog/2006/05/03/ringring/ There’s nothing quite like using the C preprocessor while writing perl.

If somebody sends me something, and they’re not on my buddy list, it immediately responds with “Go Away.” I have it logging, ... http://karma.deadmoose.com/blog/2006/04/13/more-icq-hillarity/ Bob Ross: The Videogame I need that. Everyone needs that. http://karma.deadmoose.com/blog/2006/04/03/billions-of-blistering-blue-barnacles/ ICQ seems to have become a more obnoxious place over the past few weeks, lending itself to wonderful conversations such as these: (12:13:09) 265884162: hello!!!:-) (12:13:16) Karma: go away (12:13:31) 265884162: fuck you (12:13:47) Karma: you’re the one sending unsolicited messages to strangers (12:14:09) 265884162: no (12:15:51) 265884162: ok, sorry, bye (12:17:41) 265884162: but why did you ... http://karma.deadmoose.com/blog/2006/03/20/something-like-spam/
