Pasting this from IRC so I don't have to type it all up again, but I just snagged two free discontinued collector's edition mugs from Starbucks that go on eBay for $30-50 each, courtesy of complaining on twitter and the Chief of Business Development of Skymall (I said it wrong in IRC the first time)

I adopted a cat today from the Dane County Human Society Big Grin
He was shy at first but now he really likes being around where the people are and he's very vocal (and an attention whore)
Name was Toby. Now is Tofu. I also thought about Colby because well:

My deepest condolences for your loss (of the sleep on the mornings you sleep in past his feeding time)

other than that, awesome.

His care plan says that he has food in his bowl at all times so that shouldn't be a problem. But it also says that he meows from 2:30a to 6a....hmmm I will see if that is true tonight. (at least he'll make a good alarm clock)

Welcome to the 4 am club, Kase.      Why does that cat look to have a lion's tail?  8)

How many people did you have to kill and bribe to get that kind of speed? My normal speed blows in comparison.

jealous of that upload speed


Re: This Made My Day/Improved My Day Thread! - StolenToast - 08-10-2013

I am actually more shocked at the 0ms ping.  Are you hardwired into the test server or something?

At school I get approximately 100/100, and it feels REAL GOOD

Yeah, I'm not exactly sure how that happened. Probably a fluke.

He didn't meow all night! (okay maybe once when he walked around my head when I was sleeping, but that's it)
He's a domestic long hair mix but the shelter shaved him since the previous owner didn't brush him and his fur matted. I think the tail haircut is hilarious.

Installing Windows 7 on my brand new PC right now, which has much better specs than I expected due to a cash infusion from my stepdad. Feels good man.  ;D

Today is the first time any of my code has ever been pushed out to paying users and not just used internally or for an assignment. I feel proud now.

You can stream a solid 480 on that. I do 720 on less.
