November!? How'd that happen!?

Oh, I see, the ceaseless "forward" progression of time. (Or not, hm). Anyway, I've blown thrown a couple of games (see below) and stalled as of late. This is partially due to the new gear I bought through October. (Imagine me with Mad Cow Disease and a credit card in each hand. Spend, dammit, spend, pht, pht).

The tangerine iBook sold through Half.com (a surprisingly good experience), hence I got the 12" Aluminum Powerbook and several accessories.

I'm gearing up (literally) for the trip to Germany in December so I decided to buy the Canon Digital Rebel... and several accessories. My plan is to post the images here as often as possible in a loose trip diary. Hope it won't be too boring. (This is Uncle Ted in front of the house. This is Uncle Ted at the back of the house. And this is Uncle Ted at the side of the house. This is Uncle Ted, back again at the front of the house, but you can see the side of the house.)

Games completed:

• Half Life: Blue Shift - verdict: good but short


• Half Life: Opposing Force - verdict: great but difficult


• Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2 - verdict: decent but low, 2D pixels and thousands of colors is so year 2000 -- oh, wait -- this game is from 2000...
