07:28 am - Poofy Update
So, if you read my last post you'll realize that I'm now a guild leader on WoW. I've been having fun managing people and getting things taken care of. Our old GL is still raid leading most nights with us which is wonderful because he's around to continue to influence things. As far as I'm concerned it's his guild, I'm just helping out.
On stuff more interesting for the rest of you: District 9 is the must-watch movie of this year. It's one of those rare movies with a fascinating plot and great character development. There's one great one-dimensional character, but the rest of the movie is filled out with interesting development and some great emotion and tension.

01:15 pm - AC Art Show Question
Hi guys. I need some internet help here. At the art show this year there was a gorgeous picture of a feathered raptor/reptile critter in the adult section. The feather detail was outstanding and reminded me of the quality of Goodwin, Nambroth or Vantid. I've been looking for that artist, does anyone remember who it was?

07:30 am - Apollo 11 40th Anniversary Reenactment
http://wechoosethemoon.com/
The excellent Apollo 11 reenactment is just 50 minutes away from launch. The spacecraft takeoff time is 8:29:20 AM CDT. They're replaying the entire mission audio, timeline and capcom / capsule communication on Twitter as well.
Apollo 11 this is Capcom Control. You are go for TLI. You are go for the moon.

07:33 am - AnthroBlizz Con
We didn't get much done this year at AC. It was my first time trying out the con in a few years (since their move from the hotel of fail). I did enjoy the Westin and would have liked to stay there, but due to purchasing late, we ended up in the '5 minute walk' Double Tree.
It featured interesting U-shaped rooms, and the most overpriced hotel restaurant I've seen. I do not normally bitch about hotel prices, but that place was both awful and expensive. The In-Hotel 7-11 was hilarious. If I go in the future I will stay at the small Marriott which managed to be a few yards closer to the convention than the con hotel, but it looks unlikely at this point.
The only reason I went to the convention was to meet a friend who was unfortunately unable to go.
BlizzCon:
Next month I'm going to BlizzCon, and I am looking forward to that with great excitement. Ignoring the chance to be on the Diablo 3 and StarCraft 2 betas, I always love what I hear of the panels on lore, story and design. At this point I have a friend with a spare ticket who hasn't decided who he is going to offer it to. (hint hint)
Anyone have any thoughts on BlizzCon? As far as I'm aware only one of you has gone (Roz?) and that was to pick up swag.

10:31 pm - AC Space, Still Trying
Just asking if someone has floor space or a spare room I can purchase off them for AC. I would greatly appreciate it as I'd like to bring a friend along for the con.

06:13 pm - AC Space?
I'd like to get floor space for a friend of mine at AC (Thurs-Sunday). Is there anyone who has a spare room they're holding or some floor for a shy, clean friend of mine?
Cost will be covered, of course. Please let me know.

09:59 pm - Over the Hedge 2
I haven't seen a single update about this since 2007 (it was announced that it would come out 6/12/2009). Does anyone know what the production status of this is or even if they're still considering a sequel?

Lycas shook his head in sympathy at Rhia, "A Mockingbird girl. Could a Crow mother be any more cursed?"
Part three of the Crow series is out in hardback. The series begins with Eyes of Crow by Jeri Smith-Ready.
(Ka and Psy, I did recommend this for reading now, right?)

11:52 pm - Windows 2008 R2 Aero Desktop
Anyone else been able to get Aero enabled on 2008 R2? http://software.intel.com/en-us/blogs/2009/01/09/windows-server-2008-r2-beta-aero-enabled-workstation/
I have the drivers installed (x64 NVIDIA Reference), but I do not have an option to enable the Aero colors and stuff. Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

06:22 pm - Windows Seven / Ubuntu Fun
Note: Do not install Windows Seven (on a bare HDD) before installing Ubuntu. Seven creates a 200 MB recovery (hidden) partition that actually breaks fdisk and grub. If you try to install Ubuntu after seven has setup you'll get to the grub-install portion and Ubuntu will fail. Digging into grub I managed to get the following error from the system:
'selected cylinder exceeds maximum supported by BIOS'
Obvious this isn't a problem for any other program as fdisk will happily partition the system (in this case a 1.5 TB drive) and Ubuntu will install. I have no idea how to resolve this problem.
