Just when I think the US Penal system couldn't get any worse...

Goals.

I think my Sega Saturn is going to stay hooked up for the foreseeable future. I'm finally going to play through Super Robot Wars F and F Final, then maybe sink my teeth into both Falcom Classics collections or maybe the Langrisser series.

Sigh. Snowing outside, kid and wife battling colds, and no ambition to go out.

Looks like it's time I put on another pot of Lavazza and drag out the Saturn to play SD Gundam G-Century.

Well, crap. It's snowing.

Cars and trucks are honking their horns in unison around town. Is it time for the Two Minutes Hate already?

Going through yet another sd card of photographs. This one, Communist Party of Canada's local HQ, is from my stroll through Winnipeg's North End (which, ironically, was south of my part of town).

Winnipeggers: full Marx if you know where this is!

Whoever is responsible for slicing english muffins prior to packaging should be shot.

I'm trying to resist the urge to sell a bunch of stuff so I could buy a bunch of stuff off Adafruit...

I'm going through some old pics, here's one of our then-two year old daughter getting a jump on hacker studies...

Lunch hours when I'm bored...

"Help me, Jesus, you're our only hope. Obi Wan Kenobi got himself killed, my brother is a useless tit, and his friend is a scruffy looking nerfherder!"

On another note, our manufacturing division replaced their fume extractor/air cleaner system last week and asked if we wanted the old one. The unit at our branch is still in good shape, so I asked Mrs. IPX if I could bring it home.

She asked why, so I told her I wanted to set up a pipe or cigar smoking area in the rec room. This way, there's less second-hand smoke.

She said no :(

One of the main reasons I want to set my Amiga back up is AmiModRadio!

I suppose it's no different than asking myself that same question years ago, when I fired up my Coco 3 after years of using my Amigas...

I have one nagging fear about setting my Amiga 1200 and/or 4000 up: wondering "How the Hell did I ever do graphic design on this?" after using GIMP and Inkscape (and to a lesser extent Photoshop) for the past decade..?

This work week is done, and I'm on my third round of holidays next week.

My only real plan is to clear out my lab so I can set my TRS-80 and Amiga 1200 back up.
