Life, code, and everything from Brian Arnold

  1. What a tease

    Okay, so I took way too long off of the blog while waiting for confirmation of the big news, and really it’s not even that big of news in some sense. Half of my readership (all one of them) thought that Lisa and I were pregnant. Another friend thought maybe it was that big house [...]

  2. Big news a’comin’

    I can’t say what, but big news is on the way. Very exciting stuff indeed.

  3. Also chastized a bit

    Okay, so I wasn’t really chastized like Lisa was to make that post, but Carlos did tell me that since I didn’t post yesterday, I had to post today.
    As Lisa mentioned in her post (see link above), we signed up with New Mexico Sports and Wellness. It is excellent. I enjoy that gym more than [...]

  4. Late nights of study

    So, it’s 11:20pm, and I’m up doing homework and studying. I really didn’t plan this terribly well, and I also messed up and was accidentally hiding all e-mail from the class list about everything until just this evening. I’m downloading a thing or two that I need now, and I thought I’d take a quick [...]

  5. I’ll never need another Sharpie again

    I wish I had this kind of free time on my hands

  6. Not so excellent triple date

    Okay, so it wasn’t really a triple date as much as it was me and Lisa hanging out with some of my friends, but it was three couples, so one could call it a triple date.
    First off, the entire day wasn’t bad. I should make that crystal clear. There were some parts where we did [...]

  7. Most excellent double date

    Tonight, Lisa and I went on a double date with Janelle and one of Lisa’s coworkers, a really nice and funny guy named Radford. It was an absolute blast, one of the most fun evenings I’ve had in a long time. No offense to my friends who I’ve hung out with – this night was [...]

  8. Stupid Lactitol

    So yesterday, I was at the gas station to pick up a quick snack to have for work, when I saw Sugar-free Hershey’s chocolate. I figured I’d give it a shot. I picked some up, and ate maybe one, not much, then put it in my drawer at work.
    Today, I ate a few around 9am [...]

  9. Far from the eye

    Carlos has mentioned in his latest entry that he doesn’t have to work today, and his doctor appointment was cancelled, due to Hurricane Isabel. He lives up in DC, so right now he’s on the fringe of the storm. He has an excellent graphic on his post, so go read it.
    Being the desert dweller that [...]

  10. Fast post

    I’m striving to try and post daily now, so I just wanted to post something really quick here. Today was good, I picked up a copy of Cities and Knights of Catan. That’s very exciting.
    I also hung out in a chat with Carlos and all of the girls from RRG except Nicole. We had a [...]

  11. Google Special Searches

    Google Special Searches
    I already knew about the Google Linux search, but I didn’t know there were other special searches. There are basically four OS-specific ones and one relating to the U.S. government. Look, there’s something that even Melanie can relate to. My blog isn’t so boring.

  12. Top 25 Overrated Games

    GameSpy.com: 25 Most Overrated Games of All Time
    Yeah, I know my blog gets boring because I talk about gaming all the time, or some people would think, but I just wanted to mention this really fast. I enjoy the articles on GameSpy, as they’re usually well done, with lots of insightful thoughts. They also publish [...]

  13. Busy Weekend

    This weekend was fun, albeit busy. I went into work at six in the morning on Friday and so I got to get off early, and we went to dinner with Janelle at P.F. Chang’s. Had you read their blog, you would probably know this already. Lisa did a pretty good job of documenting what [...]

  14. Two years later

    I really did mean to post yesterday about the anniversary of September 11th, much as Carlos did in his recollections of the event. Yesterday was such a rough day though, that I really just didn’t find the chance or have the energy. I was watching a small child running around during the reading of names, [...]

  15. Busy Days

    You know, I remember on August 31st or so, I had hopes that I would be able to post every single day in September. Then, I decided not to post on one of those days so that my God in the console post would stay on the page longer. Then, life just got really busy.
    The [...]

  16. A joke

    So, I’ve been told that I’m supposed to post a joke, so here you go. They still won’t think it’s funny though.

    Three Apple engineers and three Microsoft employees are travelling by train to a conference. At the station, the three Microsoft employees each buy tickets and watch as the three Apple engineers buy only a [...]

  17. New SUB

    For those who are familiar with the University of New Mexico, you may be acutely aware that the Student Union Building, aka the SUB, was closed for a couple of years. Now, the SUB is open and in full swing. This week was the official grand opening. I’m standing in the basement at one of [...]

  18. New Job

    This is a first – for once, I’ve gone for a few days without blogging, even though I had information that I wanted to post. Partially, it’s due to the fact that I wanted my post regarding God in the console to get top coverage, since I was hoping to get some feedback. While I [...]
