Vacation - Day 1 - Part Deux

Okay, here's the hotel we're staying at:

The Resort At Cocoa Beach

So supposedly it's 'off the chain'. This is all thanks to Amber's Uncle Randy. He had a timeshare that saved us on this vacation when the place we were planning on staying at screwed us by not following through and messing up our reservation. That place was Compass Cove at Myrtle Beach. I won't link, they're bastards.

Anyway, I hope we get some good sleep tonight, because we've got about 8 hours of driving before we hit the beach tomorrow!

Vacation - Day 1

I'm on vacation, so I'm not planning on keeping up with this, but behold: I am on vacation!!!

Amber and I left this morning, and now we are in Georgia, spending the night in Cartersville before moving on to Cocoa Beach tomorrow!

We're off to eat dinner now!

Firefox 1.5.0.6

A new FireFox patch came out today, 1.5.0.6.

If you already use FireFox, you probably know this, or will know as soon as it finishes downloading behind the scenes. But if you don't use Firefox, I can not tell you enough how badly you need to try it. Hit up http://www.getfirefox.com and download it. Take a little time setting it up, getting it all comfy, download a theme or two and an extension or two, and if you don't like it, just uninstall it, and you can call me and tell me how much you hate me (I will curse at you in return).

If you're not into Firefox, there are other browsers out there you can use that actually know how to properly display a page and aren't security nightmares. My favorite alternative is Opera, which is a great browser, I just prefer my browsers to be open-source. Give it a shot.

I have a GameBoy Advance

Well, not really. I have an emulator. For mac. I'm continuously being impressed by the amount of software available for mac.

Here's a link to it: Boycott Advance

By the name, you'd think it was created by someone who hated Nintendo, but I can't find much back story on it. Or much documentation...

So far I've got about 30 games, and it looks like about half of them are going to work properly/be in english.

The gameboy games seem to fit into three categories:
  • Pokemon

  • Exploring with a sword

  • Soccer

Some might argue there is a strategy genre too, but those people are the crap.

That's all I've got for you tonight. I'm all studied out. I have one final, it is tomorrow. I think I'm actually fairly prepared, but we'll see.
