goldenmeanLet's see if I can manage to update without being verbose. Place your bets now.
First off, and probably most important to my continued wellbeing is that I have an interview tomorrow, with, ummm, exactly the same company I quit at however many months ago, though for a completely different and hopefully less urge to kill inducing position. So, huzzah for the possibility of having money again.
Secondly, I have decided to stake my claim to the throne of Prussia, after finding the following page, which mentions a rumor that the original Herreshoff was the son of Frederick the Great as opposed to the son of his errant bodyguard. It goes on to detail how the first person ever with my last name shot himself, which I'm sure I would have been endlessly amused about if I had known back when I took the whole suicidal depression thing a lot more seriously. Anyway, first step, poisoning all my male relatives. Second step, a diplomatic and scouting mission to King of Prussia, PA to ascertain whether they will back my bid for the throne. Third, I must grow an exciting curling mustache, which I will then dye Prussian Blue. Let it also be known that I am accepting fawning sycophants, with whom I might gift pieces of my empire. Poland's off limits though as I've already promised it to Ari.
And last, but sadly only of interest to those members of my friends list who are computer dorks, but not in any of my irc channels, the 99 bottles of beer programming website (I recommend the shakespeare and bottled perl versions) is my current favorite place on the internet, with the Vanguard forums coming in second.
As an aside, I think I will make Quantum Intercal the official programming language of the new Prussian Empire.
