Huh. Someone is working on System Shock 2 remastered...and making a VR version.

That.. might actually be creepier than my tolerance o.O

Doephin booting idle musing food poll

Which would be a worse surprise to bite into without knowing what it was?

Today in "wut": I keep getting calls asking for the homeowner...of the place I first lived in when I got to Seattle. o.O

Heads up.

Tapestries (probably through its forum) was breached for emails *and passwords.* If you use you Tapestries password anywhere else, change it everywhere, *NOW*.

Source: the recent "Cit0day" leak, a leak from a black-market repository of stolen emails and passwords. See troyhunt.com/inside-the-cit0da for a primer. The Tapestries domain is in the table of contents.

Boost for visibility please.

Little Drummer Boy challenge 

Took myself out today by absentmindedly turning on the car radio on the way to groceries. Turns out that 4/5 of the radio stations I have programed are doing Christmas music!

(If you're unfamilar, this is just "try not to hear the song Little Drummer Boy in any form before Christmas, no other people can't knock you out on purpose")

Nice surprise of the day: discovering series that I thought was done has 2 new books after 12 years away.

Apparently the publisher didn't think the last 2 would perform so the author had to *buy her rights back* to get them out.

The local birds have apparently decided today is the day to VERY LOUDLY clean out our gutters looking for food.

Microfic, late for Halloween 

At first, we thought the trail through the distant nebula was just a asteroid, perturbed by the death of the star that had spawned the nebula itself.

Then we looked closer. And found a single trail, looping back and forth in a curved line that no asteroid would take. Alien life?

We sent a probe, with our best telescope. It looked, and found not a starship but a ship. An old, old sailing ship, it's sails torn, it's hull gashed and pitted.

A ghost ship, sailing endlessly through the empty night after the ocean it sailed upon in life had boiled away, and the planet itself burned in the heart of a dying star.

But curses? Are forever.

We don't look anymore.

Today in weird dreams: climb halfway up Everest to find a few restaurants there. And an elevator. And then an entire little mall including a pet store for some reason..?!

us pol, election-related, note for folks in Georgia 

So hey, those of you in Georgia (or can pass this along to folks in Georgia), there are about 40k absentee ballots sidelined due to signature issues and a couple of days to fix them. The race there is close enough for that to make a difference, so if you haven't already check the GA Secretary of State website to see if your ballot needs verified, and quickly!

With everybody staying in because of the quarantimes, this year may be the easiest year ever for the Little Drummer Boy game.

Parker has a particularly disgusting treat tonight. The dance around getting the dog in the bedroom without bringing the treat in has been kinda hilarious.

Dog: *drops treat, stares at closed door*
Soreth: *opens door*
Dog: *grabs treat*
Soreth: *closes door*

Stupid thought of the day:

I want a fire alarm that instead of doing the "beep every 30 seconds" thing when low battery plays the C&C "LOW POWER" voiceover

History and medical 

Read an old time description about how to diagnose and treat lycanthropy earlier.

...the description of symptoms is disturbingly close to late stage rabies. I feel real bad for both the patient (the treatment was REMOVE MOST OF THEIR BLOOD AND MAKE THEM SMELL NICE) and the likely-infected doctor

Bad News: The dog escaped

Good news: He ran out to the car because DOG PARK. I WANT DOG PARK. So I just put him in the car and took him on an errand.

He was very disappointed.

dog...park? :(

The autumn sun has now dropped far enough to get nice warming sunbeams on my office chair.

It's not exactly full recompense for the short days and cold but I'll take it

Clearly you all need to learn how not to be wrong!
