warning: nerd alert

Quote of the day, concerning a question I posted on Slashdot about how the new Bioware RPG, Jade Empire, compares to the classic Planescape: Torment:

"It has less floating skulls and more Asians."

I warned you. Here there be nerds.

Actually, we were making fun of our coworker the other day, who apparently reads computer books for fun. Now, I'm a geek, card-carrying and everything, but even I draw the line at reading LISP for Dummies as an idea of a good time. That's just being a nerd.

In related news, I just realized that MoveableType's text-editing buttons now apparently work with Firefox. So I'm going crazy with the formatting here.

Not much on the job front today. Yesterday was pretty hot, but today is flat. Lots of jobs out there, just nothing that fits perfectly in with my skill set. I need a personal project, something I can do with J2EE as a proof of concept that I actually know what I'm doing...since real work isn't giving me that opportunity right now.

Oh, the code samples section is updated.

Addendum: the house is getting clean. I am rapidly approaching the point of maximum preparedness, which is the point at which I can no longer pack things up in advance, because I am going to need them between now and moving day. I vaccuumed the room, and it is now probably cleaner than it was when I moved in. The last thing I have to do is a bit of spackling, and them I'm pretty much done.
