Seriously, it's been 5 years and this crap is still here? I would have thought that this little bit of disk space would have been gobbled up long ago so that some 15 year-old Fall Out Boy fan can post about their gnawing despair and how they like better music than their mother (who is, like, a TOTAL bitch).
I wonder if anyone still has a link to me. I wonder if I'll ever come back and find out.

kolonelk- March 7th, 2004
So I've finished my first week of work in my exciting new career. Training was pretty straightforward, the usual orientation, then how to not piss off customers, and finally how to operate cash registers so old they found one buried with a T-Rex skeleton.
Friday is my first actual day of work. I rock up at 9:15 to create a good impression (since starting time is 9:30), only to find that the boss isn't in today. "No worries" I think, "I'll just go find the HR girl that recruited me". That in itself turned out to be an impossibility, as neither of the HR people were in. So I found one of the trainers and explained that a) it was my first day, b) nobody had actually told me who to see today, and c) that there didn't seem to be anyone at all in my section to go ask about it. So we toddle off to Home Office (where the computers and related stuff is), but the dude meant to be in today is nowhere to be found.
Luckily, one of the casual guys is working in another area, so he's roped in to make sure someone is about that knows what the fuck is going on. In the meantime, I help out a few customers without actually knowing where anything is or whether we even have half of what they want in stock. Fortunately they go away (with a few games, so not so bad).
It's around about now that I discover the true horror of this place. NOTHING is organised - the stock room is a shitfight, paperwork is scattered everywhere, and we can't even fill the shelves since for some unknown reason we can't get hold of security tags. As it turns out the supervisor of this section (and music) are both gone, and nobody has any damn clue of what's going on. I've seen worse though, so undaunted I begin the long process of learning about the stuff in the store. Luckily there's fuck all in stock, so it's mainly down to learning system specs of laptops, who our suppliers/maintenance dudes are, crud like that.
By about lunch time I'm getting into the swing of things, but then I notice something else - nowhere to sit. I've spent the last 7 months sitting around on my butt which means standing around all day is a bit of a shock to the system. With any luck that will wear off soon enough, or I might take a shooting stick in with me.
That was pretty much it for the first day, but I'm back again on Tuesday to find out just what happens when we have actual staff about...

For a long time I abandoned this since being at home with the kids all the time I really had fuck all to write about. But fortunately for you, the eager reader, the long barren intermission is coming to an end. Starting next week I've got a BRAND SPANKING NEW JOB which I'm sure will provide many anecdotes to provoke sensations of delight and awe in the nether regions.
But with the good must inevitably come the bad, which for me occurred today while looking for info on the new edition of Paranoia I had been hearing rumours about. For those not in the know, Paranoia is a role-playing game set in a post-apocalyptic future with the remnants of humanity living in giant nuclear bunker complexes - most notably one Alpha Complex. This is run by the Computer, who is your Friend (cue Orwellian overtones here).
Anyhow, there IS a new edition coming, which would set me dancing for joy apart from a tiny issue: it's being done by Mongoose Publishing. Initially I had hoped for big things from MGP (being vaguely acquainted with two of the employees via a usenet group) but so far I am less than enthralled with the product range. Probably in the main because it's based on the D20 system, which I really have no time for (I'll go into why I hate D&D another day).
Anyway, one of the designers has a blog (and has descended into the wanky circle of the "blogosphere" quite easily it seems) and luckily the game won't be D20, which is a MASSIVE selling point for me these days. So we'll wait and see how it looks. All I can really say is it better be priced better than most stuff seems to be these days.

Well, it's been a while. I turned this damn Semagic program off starting automatically since I was trying to free up memory, and consequently totally failed to remember to ever update.
The good news for all you children is that during that time I should have collected a whole bunch of SUPER EXCITING things to tell you all about. The bad news for you goddamn meddling kids is that I didn't, but I have been pretty busy so it's all good for me.
I'm currently speeding through a few paint jobs I have outstanding for people, the undead are looking nice and freshly dug-up, and if I stick to my plan I should have a full 400pts worth of Byzantines ready for DBM.
I picked up a new scanner too, and for the princely sum of $78 I picked up the highly famous and sought after MUSTEK 1220 USB PLUS. What I really should have done was bought something like the Canon with the indirect scanning and other fripperies, but this monstrosity caught me solely for the fact that it requires no power cable - all the power is drawn from the USB port. Now I'm still not sure if this is a good idea or not, but when there are 3 powerboards running in this room anything that doesn't add to that burden is pretty nice.
This scanner could easily double as a boogie board. It's got an A4 scanning surface, but the surrounding unit adds a fair amount to the area it takes up. Add to this the almost 2" height of it, and this thing could be a good way to balance a table with a missing leg (or even be the table). The plastic is that ever-attractive PC beige, which continues to scream 80s at anyone within earshot, and the whole package is neatly boxed in an almost fluorescent green container plastered with awards like "WINNER OF THE LATVIA PC USER GROUP SCANNER OF THE MONTH FOR DECEMBER 1924".
Still, apart from a tendency to scan a little too dark (which can be fixed pretty easily with the brightness slider) it's not bad. It does a fair resolution, it's quiet, and faster than the old parallel piece of shit I used to use. I don't think I'd recommend it very highly though unless like me you are sick of power cables getting in your way - spend the proper cash and pick up a nice slim Canon job.

I'm way behind everyone else on this one, but screw you guys, I hardly ever get out to see films these days. I just got back from seeing League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, which got a right good bashing by critics - which only goes to reinforce my opinion that the only use a movie critic could ever possibly serve is if he was rendered down for soap.
Anyway, after having my expectations considerably lowered by FEEBLE-MINDED BOTTOM FEEDERS I expected crud, but if you don't treat the movie (hereby referred to as THE MOVIE) it's a pretty enjoyable action film. For a start, it earns major plus points by not having ridiculous wireplay fights or spinny-freezy camera rotating - there's a couple of good tracking shots where Quartermain or Sawyer fire a shot and the camera follows the bullet briefly, but I'm referring to the stop and pan the camera around a scene technique.
Some of the casting is a bit iffy - how Peta Wilson manages to get roles of any kind is totally beyond me, and Moriarty was incredibly bland. Apart from that it was all pretty fine, I liked Dorian Grey but can't remember the name of the guy who played him (go use imdb yourself, I'm lazy). Sean Connery did what he usually does, which is no bad thing. Nemo was interesting but there was way too little time spent on fleshing him out so he just came off as some random Indian with a swish sub.
There's a fair amount of bullshit, like the increible Nemobile that tears through concrete like cardboard, and I'm not 100% sure that a Venetian canal is deep enough for a sub the size of the Nautilus. But it's no worse an offence than you'll find in many comics.
So for action it gets two thumbs up, one thumb wavering for the casting, one and a half thumbs for effects, and no thumb anywhere for the dialog.

It's been a while since I'd bought myself a new DVD, and it was with this express purpose I went shopping on Thursday night. I was tooling around HMV looking at their DVD sale (featuring such quality film as Once Were Warriors and the Cell - and such a bargain at $15. Call me when they're 15c, I might care but don't hold your breath). Despairing of ever finding anything worth buying, my eyes settled on a rack of Jackass DVDs.
Now, I realise how stupid the idea was: idiots hurting themselves for fun and profit. But I liked Jackass. It was reality rv rendered down to its basic form, watching people suffer so you don't have to do it. But alongside the Jackass DVDs was my eventual purchase, the CKY trilogy.
I had seen CKY 1 & 4 already, thanks to the power of the INTERNET, but the CD set had CKY, some strange mix of CKY 2&3, and a documentary. All for only $36, so I thought to myself "Self, why not? We like violence, skating, and profanity. What more is there to life?", and before I could blink I was leaving with a copy.
The packaging leaves a little to be desired. Normally I like to see running times, aspect ratio, region encoding, all neatly displayed somewhere on the back. There was none of this, not even a listing of what actually appeared on the discs. Fortunately the power of the DVD means as long as a disc is chaptered properly it's easier to skip to exactly what you want to see (with the nature of the CKY movies there's stuff you really don't need to see more than once, if at all, like Raab Himself taking a shit while running as fast as he can).
If you have ever watched Jackass you have probably seen snippets from CKY. The trolley riding in carparks, naked guys running about the place, Phil Margera (father of Bam Margera, who made the films) having various pranks played on him. The movies are more of the same, along with some prank calls, various jokes involving poop, and some skating.
The skating is what interested me the most. As a kid I loved skating. Ollies, grinds, fakies, I knew them all. But to my eternal sadness, I sucked. My only entry to the Neighbourhood Skating Hall of Fame was managing a 6" ollie and being able to land it. But, put me in front of a Tony Hawk game and how the tables turn!
I digress.
I'm no judge of really good skating from partly good, but they skating clips are edited well, and the soundtrack really works. Some of it is performed by CKY (the band) the rest mostly metal. It's enough to make me want to dig the old deck out and slide down some railings - fortunately memories of falling over anything and everything still persist to keep me off that damn plywood deathtrap.
There isn't much in the way of bonus material on the CDs unless you count the documentary, which is probably not something you're going to watch all that often. Mostly it's various members of the gang talking about various skits they did in the past, a lot of which aren't in the movies. It's not terribly exciting, but the "How to rob a house" feature is worth waiting through the rest for.
Overall, if you're a fan of stupidity I give it a thumbs up, otherwise save your bucks for something else.

Even though there are only about four of you that read this lj, I'm going to bore you all and talk about wrestling. Tough shit, it's my diary* so I'll do what I like.
As a kid, I was a huge fan of wrestling. We really only got some strangely munged version of WWF programming, which was pretty good because it focused mainly on the main event stars and less on the jobbers. I don't remember a huge amount of what I saw, just that I was always a huge fan of Randy Savage and the Killer Bees. Hogan was Hogan, nobody escaped the Legdrop of Doom, and if he Hulked up he was impervious to any attack. The Iron Sheik and King Kong Bundy were always the most hated wrestlers when my brother and I were young.
Then it sort of vanished at some point, I think I was probably in high school then. There was a great big bunch of non-wrestling on tv until cable took off, and when we finally got it hooked up (some time in '97) I had access to some real wrestling again, namely WCW Nitro. I was instantly drawn into the Cruiserweight division, especially the greatest living wrestler, La Parka. Outside of that, it was mostly jobbers and has beens. The show was a train wreck, but a fascinating one.
We also got some WWF programming, but mainly just Superstars, which was just a cruddy recap show. Not bad for following story lines, but pretty crappy if you wanted to see more than 10 minutes of wrestling. Still, I got to see the Rock in full swing, as well as more than enough Austin and Undertaker (I never took to either of them).
Now it's about six years later. WCW is gone, and the WWE (stupid animal lovers) are stinking it up worse than any Nitro main event ever did. For some reason I keep watching though. RVD, Booker T, Christian, Kurt Angle and Eddie Guerrero are about the only wrestlers keeping me interested at all, and the more they push HHH or A-Train the more that interest is eroded. Even the backstage skits and related frippery are relentlessly dull, to the point where I'm beginning to wonder if it's worth turning on at all.
NWA:TNA almost steps in to the breach, but until they focus on what they do best - pure wrestling - I'm not paying to watch. The X-Division matches I have watched are easily my favourite matches being worked today, possibly ever. But while the wrestling takes a back seat to the drama I'm not really that fussed what I see.
I have no particular reason for scribbling all this out, I was just watching Raw tonight and wondering why I don't look forward to watching the wrestling anymore, when I used to look forward to it as one of my favourite shows.
*Astute readers will notice my steadfast refusal to use the word blog. This is mainly because I'm not sure what the 'b' is for, and partly because it sounds like a particularly violent defecation. Also, usually, bloggers are fuckwits. I have no particular desire to read some idiot's extreme political views just because he knows enough HTML to convert his drooling into a browsable form.

[00:01] (arch) anyway, i have to go to work [00:01] (Kurt) don't drive [00:01] (parody) arch: if people are that stupid, the compassionate thing to do is inform them of how stupid they are [00:02] (parody) Kurt: solar energy is not depletable. period. [00:02] (Kurt) that's what you say now [00:02] (Kurt) but all that energy has to go somewhere [00:03] (parody) explain to me how solar panels deplete the sun's energy. [00:03] (Kurt) it's obvious [00:03] (FooBarBaz) the sun emits energy at a rate independant of whether a solar panel is pointed at it. [00:03] (Kurt) this o represents a particle of sun energy, for convenience we will call them "light", or "heat", your choice [00:04] (Kurt) * (-- (the sun) oooooooo --) ///// (solar panels) [00:04] (parody) Kurt: i think you have some fundamental misconceptions, listen to FooBarBaz [00:04] (Kurt) the little bits of sun travel to Earth and get absorbed by the solar panels [00:04] (Kurt) leading to a negative balance on the sun [00:04] (FooBarBaz) or: * ooooooo ( ground [00:04] (FooBarBaz) they little photons travel to Earth and are absorbed by the ground. [00:05] (Kurt) they bounce back [00:05] (Kurt) like the moon [00:05] (parody) Kurt: it makes no difference to the sun [00:05] (parody) Kurt: wrong. [00:05] (Kurt) and the sun's gravity sucks them all back in [00:05] (Kurt) but if you trap them they can't escape [00:05] (FooBarBaz) Kurt, that is largely untrue. [00:05] (FooBarBaz) the Earth recieves less than .0001% of the sun's energy anyway so even if it WAS true... [00:06] (Kurt) but that 0.00001% will add up [00:06] (Kurt) say that's daily, that would mean there's only 1000000 days before it runs out [00:07] (parody) i think i am completely justified in saying that you're stupid. [00:07] (Kurt) you cannot defeat my logic so you resort to base insults [00:08] (parody) your logic? [00:08] (parody) what logic? [00:08] (Kurt) my logic, that is I have proven my argument, the burden of disproof now lies with you [00:09] (Kurt) I bet you believe in intelligent design too [00:09] (parody) Kurt: you haven't proven anything [00:09] (parody) Kurt: that's not a valid argument.

[00:10] (Kurt) you can try, but spare me your pseudoscience [00:10] (Kurt) please deal in facts only [00:11] (parody) i'll start with the obvious logical errors with the conclusion of your argument [00:11] (parody) (Kurt) but that 0.00001% will add up [00:11] (parody) (Kurt) say that's daily, that would mean there's only 1000000 days before it runs out [00:11] (Kurt) maybe I misplaced a decimal point [00:11] (Kurt) but in the end that doesn't leave that much more time [00:12] (Parthon) actually .. the sun is one big thermonuclear reactor which has enough fuel for a few billion years [00:12] (Parthon) and then it will run out of fuel and explode obliteration everything [00:12] (Kurt) now I think you carried a few too many 0s there [00:13] * FooBarBaz is now known as FooBarThermonuclear [00:13] (parody) the 0.00001% of the energy that returns to the sun *will not* add up over time, 0.00001% of the sun's energy is not enough to fuel it when it is losing 99.99999% of its energy [00:13] (Kurt) all right, you got me [00:13] (Kurt) I've run out of bullshit [00:14] (Kurt) I'm going to clean that up and stick it on my lj now [00:14] (Parthon) hehe ..

It's been really odd trying to adjust to unemployment. On the one hand, I've been stressed out about money concerns, most particularly paying off my credit card (all paypal donations gladly accepted. Amounts of $1000 or over greatly appreciated - hop to it). But as with all things they seem to work out in the end, so now it's just a matter of getting on top of CRAZY stuff like housework and shouting at kids.
I've been able to paint a lot more lately, and even do a few things for some money. Currently I'm working on a bunch of Mexicans and a nice hacienda, and after that I've got a bunch of Blood Bowl figures to tackle (har, I am king of all puns). I've also started spreading the word about the place, so it would be nice to do a bit of painting work here and there.
I've also gone back to bashing away at Perl. Starting with a character generator for RIFTS, I'm mainly interested in working out GUI type things for Windows, either via Perl/tk or the Win32::GUI module. If you've had any experience with this previously, feel free to drop me a line and explain everything I don't know. Once I have the basics covered I'll dig into DB type stuff too, should be fun.

cold
Windy, so very windy. Apparently power was out in the Sutherland Shire (where I used to live) for about five hours. I had to race around the house like an idiot shutting all the windows before everything blew over (probaby including the fridge). So now everything is charged with static, and any time I touch something metal I get a refreshing blast of static electricity to remind me that I'm wearing a cheap pair of ugg boots which provide no protection (and probably make things worse).
Apart from that it was a pretty quiet day. Made up a bit of stir fry for dinner, and was reminded why I never buy those stupid jars of premade sauce - they taste like shit. This was apparenlty "chow mein" sauce, I think part of the label must have fallen off; the part with a fat guy shouting "CHOW MEIN BUNGHOLE", because if I had to guess what a fat German man's butt tasted like, this sauce was it. Still, throw enough garlic at anything and it becomes bearable.
Everyone in the house is currently sick with a cold. Except me. I still haven't worked out why since traditionally every winter I am sick from May until around October. This year has been pretty good to me apart from tonsilitis, which was a shitter. So I've been keeping the kids stocked up with cold medicine. There are these funky new lollipops you can get that are supposedly full of some homeopathic remedy (for those not in the know, homeopathy is Latin for "big scam" - similar to Feng Shui in China). It's hard to say if these or the regular medicine are doing the trick, but at least it seems to be having some sort of minimal effect. Alec was off school all last week, and if the wind hasn't died down tomorrow he'll be pretty pleased to get another day off, though he is bugging me to take them to the Powerhouse Museum - it's got trains and since Thomas the Tank Engine is still #1 with him, he likes to go as often as possible.
As I write this I'm waiting for the football to start, Arsenal are playing Middlesbrough, which should be a slaughter. Hopefully Arsenal get a few more players sent off, I think at the moment they are collecting more red cards than goals.

annoyed
I had to shave my beard off yesterday, somehow I've got a cut or something on my chin, and it was getting itchy. I hate not having a beard since it makes my face look odd (well, odder than usual). I also hate shaving in general, so a beard is a good excuse not to shave at all.
Also considering the idea of cutting all of my hair off, since I've had long hair for about 10 years now. It's starting to get annoying, I think I'd rather just be bald and then let it grow out again for a year or so, and repeat. Hair care does not feature prominently in my life's priorities - it's probably somewhere just below walking to Mars.
Just had the house invaded by several of Cathie's friends from work. Which was lovely, considering I had no notice and the house was a complete shitfight. So I went to pay the bills. Hopefully this isn't going to become a regular feature.

My name is Kurt, I'm 28, got two kids, sort of almost married, and I like stuff.
One time I saved the Pope from an assassin's bullet, and I have regretted every day since. Maybe I can build a time machine and go back to stop myself.
OK, I'm back from the past, and I didn't listen to myself. I can be so difficult sometimes.
So I went forward into the future to the year 2050 and beat the hell out of myself, since at 75 years of age there isn't much you can do to put up a fight.
I intend to destroy history by killing myself on my 74th birthday.
