Life, code, and everything from Brian Arnold

  1. Out of communication

    This update is primarily for those who tend to communicate with me through one of the various instant messaging protocols.
    I’m not online right now because I’m installing a gob of software on to my new machine at work. I’m going from a 1.5GHz Pentium 4 up to a 3.2GHz Pentium 4, and from 512MB of [...]

  2. Spamusement

    So, my friend Adam posted a link on his LiveJournal to a comic called Spamusement. Normally, I wouldn’t be all worried about sharing a new comic with you all. Heck, look at my list to the side there – it’s already huge (and you’ll already find Spamusement in it). If I told you about each [...]

  3. Elektra: First Look

    ELEKTRA FIRST LOOK – TheMovieBox.Net
    So, I liked Daredevil. I know a lot of people didn’t. It was a bit darker than other superhero movies, but, well, it was supposed to be. I’d heard they were going to make an Elektra movie, which is cool with me. I’m a big Alias fan, and so I’d probably [...]

  4. Athens 2004

    I really enjoy the Olympics. I’m going to miss it when they’re over. It’s such a great thing to watch. There’s a lot of drama, sure, but overall it’s very inspiring, especially when you have people like Rulon Gardner, who overcome such amazing difficulty to compete. He may have only gotten bronze, but considering what [...]

  5. GMail invites

    Over at RandomURL (similar name, no affiliation), the guy who runs the site got some GMail invites and decided to go ahead and hand them out to people via the commenting system. I now have five invites. If you want one, just leave a comment and I’ll go ahead and invite you in a first-come, [...]

  6. This space for rent

    This space isn’t really for rent – I just don’t know what to put as a title.
    Lisa isn’t feeling well at all — she’s got a nasty cold. I’ve been sniffling, but she’s got a full-on hardcore cold that’s got her knocked flat. I feel so bad for her. I wish I could just make [...]

  8. Some interior house pictures

    Finally I got around to taking some pictures of the interior of our house, as well as a shot of the entryway from the outside. I would go through and thumbnail them all, but I’m not feeling so great today, so start with the entryway link and click the next arrows on the right-hand side [...]

  10. Long day

    Today feels longer than it really was. I didn’t get out of bed until much later than usual (and I won’t be disclosing the usual nor today’s time, just so you know), and yet it still feels like a really long day.
    A good portion of yesterday was spent with my in-laws (which is a good [...]

  11. My first reviews

    So, I hadn’t mentioned it here yet simply because, well, I don’t know. It just felt funny to bring up for some reason.
    But, now that I have content up, it’s exciting and neat.
    I like video games. Many people know this fact about me. I also like to read video game reviews, quite a bit. I’ve [...]

  12. What a way to start the day

    So, as mentioned a few posts ago, I’ve been using this website called FitDay to help motivate me to track things like how much I eat and whatnot. The last time I was at the doctor’s office, about four months ago, I was weighing 258 pounds. That was scary to me – I’d never been [...]

  13. Regis Philbin sets world record

    TV Guide Online Entertainment News – Way to go, Reege!
    Regis Philbin has set a Guinness World Record for the person with the most hours logged in front of the camera. Friday’s Live with Regis and Kelly brings Philbin’s tube total to 15,188 hours, surpassing previous record-holder Hugh Downs. In related news, Kelly Ripa wants to [...]

  14. AvP – the interview

    As posted to a mailing list by Dave, an interview with the Alien and the Predator. Quite funny, even if you know nothing about either Aliens or Predators. Picturing such creatures acting so civilly (and politically-minded too) is humorous, at least if you’ve got some geek in you.

  15. Motivation

    I think I need to start every day of work with “Around the World” by Daft Punk – it’s quite motivating for some reason.
    I also think dressing a little more nicely, as I’ve done today, also helps. We’re doing some interviews, and I get to create some documentation and whatnot for them, which is all [...]

  16. Bear Drinks 36 Beers and Passes Out

    Yahoo! News – Bear Drinks 36 Beers and Passes Out
    Warning if you’re reading this months from the date of posting – Yahoo! has a bad case of linkrot when it comes to stories like this.
    Anyhow, my good friend Chris sent this article to me and I about died laughing, so I thought I’d share. Enjoy!

  17. Jaws in 30 seconds with bunnies

    For those of you who haven’t seen any, there’s a group that recreates movies online, and they’re always done in 30 seconds with bunnies instead of people. They’re quite funny.
    There’s a new one – Jaws in 30 seconds with bunnies – well worth 30 seconds of your day, if you’re a fan of Jaws. Heck, [...]

  18. New Diet/Fitness Tool

    Today I was talking to Carlos, and in our conversation, we discussed ways of getting me motivated to work on my physical shape. Let’s face it, I’m not exactly thin. I’m actually far too overweight to really be healthy, and it’s had quite some impact on me (such as my gout, as well as my [...]

  19. A little drive

    It’s funny – on the way home, I was thinking about my post, and how just expressing it helped me to reflect a bit. I had a good talk with a friend online who I hadn’t talked to in awhile, and it kind of helped me to open my eyes a bit.
    I came home and [...]

  20. Apathy

    Sorry for the lack of updates lately – even though I really couldn’t ask for a better situation lately, I’ve been feeling somewhat apathetic. I mean, I love having a house and things are going really well in most other regards, but work hasn’t been great, and it’s had somewhat of an impact on me. [...]
