As many of you know, the idiots at my work have blocked GameBanshee, so I haven't been able to hang out here as much as I'd like.
Life's been pretty good, and at the beginning of this month, my wife and I went on our first cruise. We had a blast and I'm in the process of writing my vacation diary from the trip, which you can read in my blog. I'm up to day 8 and I'm hoping to have it finished tomorrow. I've also posted some pix from the trip in the SYM Photo Album, but I'm hoping to get some more posted on a website soon.
Hope everyone is in good health and fortune is smiling upon you all.

Great to hear from you again, HLD! I was unaware that GB was blocked at your worksite. Doesn't this constitute inhumane and unusual punishment?
In any case, I'll have to go read your blogs. In turn, I'll be putting up here sometime (soon?) excerpts from my diary kept on our Hungarian vacation this past year.

To the Righteous belong the fruits of violent victory. The rest of us will have to settle for warm friends, warm lovers, and a wink from a quietly supportive universe.
Hey good to have you back. You should post more often or atleast try. Hey we can see if the techies here can think up ways or hacks for you to access Gamebanshee.

Gamebanshee? BLOCKED??? *faints* Doesn't that qualify as cruel and unusual punishment? The horror, the HORROR...(insert Carmena Burana)
Anyhow, it's nice to know you had a good time on your trip!

I sincerely wish we could re-consider this plan from a perspective that involved pants.

Nice to see you again, HLD! Hope you had a good holiday, the pictures looks nice!
A pity your job is blocking GB, I have heard that in the US it is not uncommon that employeers block private surfing from the office. I have seen some surprisingly high estimations (30-40%) of how private surfing decreases production, so maybe it makes sense, but I don't know how reliable those estimations are. There are also studies showing that people who surf from work, spend more hours working at home than they surf from work, and thus more than make up for the "lost time". There are even studies reporting surfing increases productivity by providing stress relief etc. So I don't know, there are no conclusive results handy AFAIK.
I'm in decent heath (just had a cold), I'm very happy because yesterday I got funds for my most important project. Tomorrow I'm going to a conference about schizophrenia. Hope you are fine too!
