Dell Dimension Deceased

December 30, 2004October 7, 2011 Chief Oddball

A moment of silence, please, for my Dell 486. While my new copy of Vampire – The Masquerade: Bloodlines was installing last night (thanks Pooch!), I decided to slap the old Dell 486 back together, plug it in and see what would happen.

WOOOOO…BOO BOO BOOOO…CHRISTMAS MORRR-NING!

God, you knew I couldn’t resist using that as the title of today’s post, right? I mean, it’s just tailor-made for the wackiness that naturally ensues when one gets out of bed at 3:30 a.m. on Christmas morning, goes to his computer and starts blogging quotes from a story he wrote about ten years ago.

Lah De Dah Delightful…

Last night was my company’s Christmas party. I usually attend every year, although I am not really a party guy. (Okay, let’s face it. I just plain don’t “do” parties.) But we have a pretty small company and there are a number of people here I get along with pretty well, so there’s almost always somebody I can hang around and chat with for the evening.

Gradoop Gradoop!

Well, even when it comes to random installments, it seems I can’t get my butt over to the Oddball control panel to actually input anything! Well, no matter. I’m here now, so stop yer bitchin’. What a week! I should have known something was amiss when I managed to completely eliminate the backlog of messages in my inbox on my first day back from vacation.

Doing Things Out of Sequence

October 10, 2004October 10, 2004 Chief Oddball

It occurs to me that I should be posting here more often. Posting stupid crap. I mean, why not? It’s why I have this site, right? When I first acquired this domain and slaved away for a week to put this design up, I intended for the site to house my more random, spur-of-the-moment thoughts.

What Time Is It? What Day Is It?

My wife and I are just back from two weeks in Thailand! What a great time we had. Took millions of pictures (okay, more like four hundred, but who’s counting). Saw all kinds of fascinating stuff, enjoyed some truly beautiful places, and now we’re both dealing with the rigors of jet lag.

Finally – More Knight Rider Music!

August 22, 2004October 3, 2011 Chief Oddball

The new Knight Rider soundtrack CD by Don Peake It’s finally happened. After years of stonewalling, Universal has given Don Peake the go-ahead to release a new album of Knight Rider music. Shown here, this special limited-edition album (of which only 1,000 copies were made) is a special gift to German fans of Knight Rider, who are arguably even more rabid (and more organized) that fans here in the United States.

Hurricane Charley

August 15, 2004October 3, 2011 Chief Oddball

Wow. I’ve just been through a hurricane! Thankfully, we live far enough southward on the Gulf Coast of Florida to have been spared major damage from Hurricane Charley as it roared overhead. We actually made out really well compared to the city just 40 minutes north of us.

The Ultimate Doom

August 10, 2004October 3, 2011 Chief Oddball

This time it’s for real! Doom 3, the long-awaited third installment in id Software’s hallowed Doom series of PC games, has finally landed. I admit I haven’t posted here in quite a few days because, well, I’ve been busy playing it, among other things I’ve been tied up with.

The DMCA Is Fucking Idiocy

July 6, 2004October 7, 2011 Chief Oddball

A while back, I posted a rant about our local UPN affiliate for not airing the Star Trek: Enterprise episode called “The Council.” This was a pivotal episode near the end of the third season which contained details critical to the story arc.
