Gateway issues, why Red Bull is bad and how to properly wield a machete.
Or: Easter LAN 2005 wrap-up


Our second annual Easter LAN party is over. I intended to get some really spectacular pictures, but alas the digital camera never made it downstairs this weekend. I'm a bad Internet denizen.

What I can tell you, though, is that this weekend taught me a few valuable lessons:
  1. The Motorola VoIP box that Vonage sent us acts as a router if you pass a line through it from the router. Good to know.
  2. Even a twenty-year-old cannot consume a half-dozen cans of Red Bull, most of a case of Mountain Dew, not sleep for forty-eight hours and not reap the rewards. Hope you had a good nap, Paul.
  3. My score in Far Cry almost doubles when I avoid using guns and just rush people with the machete. Jessi's pretty much the only one who can survive this tactic, although to be fair she has cat-like reflexes that I could never hope to defeat. It's a good thing I did a low-level format on her machine after the party was over (I'm kidding, dear).
  4. Not all geeks who enjoy scary Japanese anime porn are creeps. They might still be creepy, but they're not creeps. Mad <3, Tim ;)
  5. They still make Squirt soda. Huh.
  6. I get grouchy when I don't get enough sleep. I must be getting old.
  7. Yep, I still suck at UT.
