Journal FortKnox's Journal: Giving up, StarCraft, & Prepping for Joey's B-Day 16
Giving Up
Its my new strategy. If you start arguing over the war, start arguing over religion, start arguing over moderation, etc, you won't see any comments from me. I've been mellow lately, and don't want to get up in arms with an internet argument. I rarely change peoples minds, and putting in my words just gives more ammo. That's why you haven't seen my comments in several JE's lately. (My stance kinda reminds me of the tasteless Arguing on the internet is like running in the special olympics image you see on many internet boards)
StarCraft
For fellow nerdfarm clannies: I have reloaded StarCraft and Broodwars this weekend for something new to play. FYI - I suck at RTS. I usually only play in newbie servers, or X humans vs N computers (where X > N). The 'fk' alias has been taken on battlenet (ever since I played my first game), so I go by the alias 'marotti'. I'd gladly play you if you won't rush me ;-)
Prepping for Joey's B-Day
I guess my Journal has been around for a while, now. Joey will be 1 years old on 5/10. We are planning out a big party, and I'm not sure exactly what I'll get him (but you can bet the family will be getting a package from ThinkGeek. I'm thinking, the "Input Output", "Newbie", and "TCP/IP" onesies). Maybe I'll put up my thinkgeek wishlist and give people the opportunity to get Joey some presents (obviously I'd take MY wishlist items out)?

I LOVE that Input/Output shirt at Think Geek. I wish they made it in adult sizes, I'd wear it.

The only reason that I give you the right to say that, is because you live in Surrey. I can live in pretty adverse conditions, so I don't mind what I see. All I ask for is that people quit:
throwing shoping carts & junk into Cougar Creek
littering
letting their dogs take a dump on the side walks & path ways
It just blows me away when I see what people do here.
That being said, I appreciate living near the transit exchange. It makes it very easy to go places.
Do you think that you will live in Sur

I generally avoid arguing about religion, politics, "the" war (or war in general), programming langauges, operating systems, open-source, etc. Not just on the net, but in RL as well. However, sometimes when you have a quiet period at work it can be fun letting yourself get drawn into one of these debates - although it works best when you are arguing with someone who is willing to actua
