I cancelled my pre-order for Spore May 7th, 2008
News came out this week that EA intends to release spore for the PC with DRM that needs to checkin with the mothership every 10 or so days in order to stay operational. (it will work again once you re-connect no matter how long it’s been). This isn’t the kind of setup I can get behind. There are numerous problems that can creep up with this type of setup not the least of which is what happens to the game in a few years when the “magic servers” go away? Didn’t we just go through this mess with the MSN DRM music fiasco?
Anyway, shame on you EA. Someday you’ll realize that this type DRM only fucks the people doing the right thing in the first place =/. I’ve canceled our two pre-orders from amazon. If they decide to stop doing dumb things we’ll consider picking them up again. If not then we’ll uh.. do something else :).

Coop II the wrath of coop April 18th, 2008
New coop project is finally of the ground. Had the neighbor from San Diego up to do the foundation and brick work. (Yes he’s a neighbor and yes he lives in San Diego… <(^.^)> )
Pictures so far are here:

We are going to miss your magic…
- When a distinguished but elderly scientist states that something is possible, he is almost certainly right. When he states that something is impossible, he is very probably wrong.
- The only way of discovering the limits of the possible is to venture a little way past them into the impossible.
- Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.
- For every expert there is an equal and opposite expert.

brain squishies March 14th, 2008
I’m back from IETF 71 in Philadelphia. It was pretty good not an extreme amount of progress that didn’t amount to “take it to the list” in the groups I attend for work though. PEPPERMINT had a second BOF, and we discussed some DNS blasphemy in ENUM.
There was an our w/o IPv4 at the plenary and also an IPv6 only wireless setup going I did a bit of testing. The only thing that responded for me was erkkila.org ;p. I guess I need better bookmarks.
I need a nap!

Sorry Charlie =/ February 13th, 2008
Had to cull Charlie the silky rooster today.
I won’t really miss the cranky little bastard but I’m still a bit sad. I’ve done that particular deed a few times now and it hasn’t gotten any easier.
