• I have completed all the study I wanted to do today. (Actually, is there such a thing?)
  In any case, bring on Borderlands tomorrow! #
• Less than 12 hours to go till Borderlands! I'm gonna spend the WHOLE DAY playing. Feel free to join me, @ashlaws, @csimps0n, @neg2led etc #
• Managed to stumble through another lame L4D Versus match. Borderlands can't come fast enough. #
• AutoPager (auto-load next page) just made my day. Now *this* is why I use Firefox over Safari. Extensions rock my world. http://bit.ly/QIBPk #
• Oh FFS. Steam changed the unlock date for Borderlands AT THE VERY LAST MINUTE. Looks like I'll get some study done today after all. #
• Getting random lockups with Steam for some reason. I'm almost certain it's a Steam issue, rather than a hardware one – rthdribl runs fine. #
• I love you Killing Floor, but not when you freeze up every 5 minutes. http://post.ly/AQKR #
• I've taken twice the amount of notes for Programming with Data Structures than I have for other subjects, but only understand half as much. #
• Grinding, grinding. Now Borderlands' RPG element comes into play. #
• Rebooting from the second hard lockup today. Apparently it's a known issue, but that doesn't make it any less annoying, Apple. #
• Whoa, intertubes have slowed to a crawl – sites taking ages to resolve and load. Nothing specific for Tassie on Node advisories, though. #
• Having serious issues, on both OSX and Windows. First task after exams are over is a complete backup, format, and reinstall. #
• Maybe if I tweet the item rarity in Borderlands I'll remember it:
  White, Green, Blue, Purple, Orange. #
• Last lecture for today. I think 6 is enough for one day – and besides, there's cell-shaded, uncensored, OLFC-approved gore to be had! #
• Computer really needs a reinstall – Borderlands has crashed 5 times in the past 30 minutes :'( #
• Borderlands update: Lilith the Siren is at Level 18. #
• Splitting EACH AND EVERY October Box recommendation part breakdown into 3 pages, Ars Technica? Really? You should be ashamed. #
• For verbal diarrhoea. http://post.ly/AkQn #
• In my haste to install WordPress 2 for iPhone, I accidentally deleted some locally-saved post drafts. Luckily they weren't that important. #
• Hmm – so what's proper Twitter etiquette for adding someone with a protected account to a list? Do it? Don't? #
• Allstars, [noun]
  A group or collection of people who are completely awesome.

• Girl I've like since pretty much forever is in what I'll imagine is a serious relationship. Thanks, Facebook. #
• That being said, I still "liked" that. Because that's just the kind of guy I am. /shrugs #
• Oh? The recommended resolution is to install the driver? Really, Microsoft? http://twitpic.com/nht6c #
• Ain't No Rest for the Wicked – http://bit.ly/1VdXmM #iTunes #
• If only I had a use for these… I'm sure I'll think of something. #
• Facepalm. This (http://bit.ly/2WlIrC was supposed to have a pic attached. Let's try that again… #
• If only I had a use for these… I'm sure I'll think of something. http://twitpic.com/nlp9a #
• Finished work. En route to New Haven – err I mean Rust Commons West – err I mean Borderlands. Well, you get the picture. #
• You took a quiz telling you not to take the quiz?

  Yeah, good one. #

• So we have like, 6 people dressed as Santa Claus on our street.

  SANTA CLAUS. #
