dragoncortez's Journal: Pensieve (collection of thoughts)

I currently have 2 gmail invites, but I suspect that nearly everyone who wants one already has one. I love the interface, by the way, but I'm geeky like that.

I think I'm a little too excited by this NBA draft thing, especially considering how poorly prepared for professional ball most of the potential draftees look so far. All the trade rumours floating around (most involving moving up or down in the draft) have got me looking like a *gossip-monger*. Thankfully football season starts soon, so I can satisfy the sports part of my brain with something yummy (baseball just isn't my thing, sorry).

Wow, it's been a while since I talked video games, so let's just get right into that. Currently playing:

• PC (WinXP)
• Counter-Strike (still)
• Icewind Dale
• Neverwinter Nights (with roommate)
• UT2004 (but not as much lately)

• XBox
• Crimson Skies
• Came back and finished KotOR

• Game Boy Advance
• Fire Emblem (it got tough)
• Mario and Luigi Superstar Saga

I'm currently looking forward to actually playing Final Fantasy Tactics Advance. It's been sitting on my desk for close to two months, but I swore I wouldn't start it until I'd beaten Fire Emblem. I realize from looking at that list, that I should be more worried about finishing those games than thinking about future releases, but I can't help but be geekily excited for The Sims 2. I'm also apparently more insane for RPGs than previously thought. City of Heroes and Mario Golf Advance Tour (a golf rpg of all things!) are looking very tempting.

Ok, good to get that out of my system, but now this entry is starting to look perilously long. Work has been a lot of good and bad lately. I really like programming and stretching myself a little, but some of the other things going on here are not so fun. I guess that's the joy of working for a start-up company. I remember the days when I couldn't understand why you'd want a guy exclusively devoted to database design and maintenance. Man, that's funny. I also seem to recall thinking that javascript was a silly little by-product of browsers. Now when I see the GMail interface, I'm dutifully impressed.

Ok, I think that I've put enough into this pensieve for today.

Panhandling for Gmail invite...

[evilviper]

I'll take an invite... I'm not actually interested in gmail, but I'm going to pass it on to a friend. Much appreciated.

[e-mail]

Email address is only good for 72 hours, so let me know if you don't send it out by then.
