Apparently two unrelated posts within the last couple of days had the same title. I apologize for the unorginal-ness and I will try to do better in the future.

Penguicon was a lot of fun, as you could probably tell from my few blog posts from during the con. If I had to do it over again, I’d get a hotel room. And probably spend more time in the game room. Also, get more ribbons.

I found a distro of linux today that seems like it’d be fun to play with. It’s called Damn Vulnerable Linux. It’s basically one big security exploit. I’m gonna download it and give it a whirl tonight.

The idiot in my classes got his hands on one of the same hacking books I have. Now I have to go through it because the last thing I want is that moron acting like he knows more than I do. I don’t know if it’s jealous or just a desire to make sure that idiots stays in his place.

My 3 hours of sleep I think is catching up to me. I’ve been been inhaling as much Caffiene as I can into my system so I can stay awake.

Today, I spent a good chunk of the afternoon hanging out with my buddies from the  UMF anime club. I also Volunteered in the con suite while Tron Guy was making these cheese things called Chubaquesos. Really good but also kinda bad.

I had the on demand t-shirt guy make me t-shirts of the Hoobajoob logo. They turned out really well, in my oppinion.

Beyond that, not much more to report. Although, I have decided that next year I’m gonna run a Stargate party room.

I got about 3 hours of sleep. I’ve been popping Penguin caffiene mints and caffienated water and coffee just to stay awake. Staying up until 4am will do that and then waking up at 7:30 and not being able to get back to sleep.

I volunteered in the con suite lastnight and it was one of the best decisions yet. I basically sat around for 7 hours bullshitting with random people, deciding whether or not we should eat some mysterious soup we found, and poop. Ohh God did we talk about poop. Let’s just saying I’m not gonna be eating McDonalds  breakfast anytime soon.

Tron guy’s here, which is awesome and slightly creepy.

I’m in the consuite right now, typing this and burning KoL turns, and lets just say that the morning crew in the suite isn’t nearly as cool (and/or drunk) as the night crew. Most its a lot of intellectual penis measure. “Well I was homeschooled and entered cool at 7!” type bullshit. Ohh well.

More latter. I might try to find a nice quiet place to sleep sometime

Right now I’m in a panel where we’re MSTing Starship Troopers. I never realized how bad this movie was until now. I missed the names of the two gentlemen who were running this, but they are just railing into it hard.

So far, I’ve had free food, played a game called Morgan’s List, saw a presentation on OpenAST and seen several people whom I haven’t seen in forever.

I’ve learned a lot so far, but the most important is that Starship Troopers is “Beautiful people dying violently.”

I’m sitting in the lobby of of the Troy Hilton, leaching wifi and waiting for the prereg table open. I’m sitting hear talking with some guys about opensource and everything. I haven’t actually done anything but I’m already having a good time. I am gonna voluneeter, I think, so I can have a place to crash. The drive from GB to Troy is only 40 minutes, but it isn’t exactly a quick drive.
