Just a short one, today.

And this is because there wasn't a lot to talk about from my Monday. Sad but true.

So, what is there? Firstly, there was a Dianetics ad on TV earlier. I was amused by this, since they're selling it as a self-help book. A self-help book by an author who famously claimed that the easiest way to make money is to start a religion. I'm considering offering an alternate title - maybe Jumping On Couches For Dummies.

But! That's of secondary importance. I've started playing NetHack again, and it's more fun than ever. Not that it ever wasn't fun, but every time I start playing it again I realise how much I've missed it. Just need to get out of the Gnomish Mines intact, one of these days. And maybe even Ascend, but that's not for ages and ages yet.

I've got a notion to play Rogue again. If you have a link for a win32-friendly Rogue binary, or for the Rogue source (how hard can it be to find a C compiler?), then please, please post it here.

And that's it for the moment. Off to go and set foot in the Dungeons of Doom all over again.

yay for [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com]-ness. :)

Whee! Though it looks a shade unloved at the moment.

It's early.

[active-apathy.livejournal.com]

That's not quite what I meant. Still, whee!

Oh. Hm. Did you mean the "rolls eyes" comment?

[active-apathy.livejournal.com]

Pretty much, yes. Which is a grand example of missing the point, in my opinion.

Well, I thought it was funny. But apparently it's not PC to pay out Scientologists anymore* - although any other religion's still fair game. I got metaquoted (yay!) a few days back for some non-PC Scientology quote and it ended in some big brawl.

* Typical - just as those wacky Scientologists start giving us more fodder than ever - thankyou, Tom "I'm totally fucking nuts but I KNOW ALL SO LISTEN GODDAMNIT" Cruise - we're not allowed to mock on them anymore! Bah. Sod that. :)
