Last night was my night to catch up on my sleep. Despite this, I ended up staying up till around 11:30 finishing one more thing for the "project." This would not have been that bad, but then right around 2 am I got a call from work telling me that the internet was down. They make this mistake all the time. If people can't get to our webservers then they should call me. If they can't get to any webserver (e.g., Google) then they need to call the network guys. This time it was the latter... I'm hoping I didn't yell at the computer room operator, but I honestly can't remember.
It was somewhat difficult to get back to sleep and the rest of the night was filled with bizarre dreams of demons and web servers, so I'm still dragging. Fortunately it's not as bad as it was yesterday, and hopefully nothing will keep me from getting to bed at a decent hour tonight. Of course there is one thing... On Saturday I decided I need to reward myself for all the work I was doing, so I ordered a game. It came today... The title is Space Rangers 2. It's got quite the buzz online. It's suppossed to be an open-ended space exploration style game with turn-based combat, real-time space combat, RTS, and a text-based game all rolled into one. Maybe I won't get to bed on time after all.
Now that things have quieted down a little bit, I'm hoping to get back on the bike. In fact, I have an annual ride scheduled for Labor Day -- the question is when between now and then do I want to ride. Getting in some kind of a warm-up ride would be a good idea, but too much too close to the ride and I'll just wear myself out. Speaking of cycling, the third and final grand tour, the Vuelta a Espana, is currently underway. So far there haven't been any huge surprises, but they haven't hit the mountains yet. A few Americans, including Landis, Danielson and Van de Velde have some decent prospects. It's not the tour, but it's still exciting.
Slowly recovering
Ross
Well, I finished the "project" at around 2 am last night. I was mostly done yesterday morning, but it's amazing how long polishing can take. It's like a friend of mine says, the first 90% of the project takes 90% of the time and then the last 10% takes an additional 90% of the time. I'm hopeful that it will be released tomorrow, or in any case, by the end of the week. When it is, I'll make sure to point you towards it. Needless to say, I'm exhausted. I don't think I fully recovered from GenCon before I started depriving myself of sleep again, so my debt (sleep, not financial, though that's not doing spectacularly either) is quite large.
With any luck I'll get a chance to watch one of the movies that has piled up while I've been busy. I guess pile is an exaggration -- it's really just Sideways and Finding Neverland. Both are ranked pretty high, but Finding Neverland is higher, plus I think my wife will like it better, so I'll probably start with that. I'm donating platelets today, so that's yet another movie. It's an embarrassment of riches.
As you can probably already tell, I'm a little out of it because of the aforementioned sleep-deprivation, so rather than bore you with any more discursive rambling, I'll just wrap it up here.
Seeking the sweet embrace of sleep
Ross
I was up until 1 am working on the "project." It's the kids first day of school today, so I know the whole house was going to be up at 7, and I figured that six hours of sleep would be sufficient. Of course, work called at 5:30 am to tell me that the web server was done. Further investigation uncovered that it wasn't the web server that was having problems, but rather the firewall between the web server and the database server, so I told them to call someone else, but by that point I was awake, and so I decided to head into work.
We have a manager who's really... gung-ho... He shows up at around 6:00 every morning and leaves at around 6:00 every evening (and has, as I understand it, around a 45 minute commute). He generally ends each year with unused time off, most of which just goes away. If we were a huge company like IBM or something I could understand it, but we're much smaller and he's basically risen as high as he can go. It's not that I don't understand why he works so hard; it's rather I can't fathom why he didn't start a business at some point so he could work that hard for himself. Anyway the point of this long story is that on my way in I realized that I might have a chance to steal this manager's traditional parking spot, but no such luck. He was already at work when I arrived.
I don't know about you, but I've been following Katrina's progress with no small amount of interest. I guess at some point over the weekend Katrina's pressure dropped to 902 mb which is the fourth lowest pressure ever in the Atlantic basin. Obviously much of the interest comes in wondering how New Orleans will fare, given that most of the city is below sea level. After looking around for a while I found this news blog that seems to give some of the best information on what's happening.
So very tired
Ross
Things are going slower than I would like on my project. It's taking me a while to get back into the groove, for one thing. There is a definite zone when you're working on something like this, and it can take a while to get into it. Fortunately, the presence of a deadline is focusing my mind wonderfully. Well maybe not wonderfully, but I'm sure that absent a deadline I would have no motivation at all. The family campaign is scheduled for tonight and I'm tempted to cancel it, but with GenCon and everything else, it's been nearly a month since we played last so I think the players would revolt. Plus, we're adding my daughter to the campaign, so I'm looking forward to that.
I still auctioning off stuff I picked up at GenCon. I think that if I had focused on nothing more than acquiring valuable collectibles at the Con and then auctioning them off, I could have paid for the entire convention. Case in point are the two wooden tokens I've got on E-Bay right now. The first is a 400 gp Gem and the second is a Ring of Evasion. You may be wondering what would make someone want to pay $42 for a piece of wood, well I'll tell you, it has purple ink on it.
In any case, it's back to the salt mines, and hopefully a less stressed version of me will emerge on the otherside of the weekend, but I doubt it.
Searching for "The Zone"
Ross
I continue to be horribly busy, and last night it got worse, when I finally got the text for the project I agreed to do at GenCon. I had hoped to have it done tomorrow, but it's more complicated than I thought, so I may have to push it to Monday. The product itself is suppossed to be released on Wednesday so it's an incredibly tight deadline, no matter how you look at it. As a result, I really don't have much time to blog, so I think I'll end it here today, though I will point you towards an interesting article in the NY Times on the decline of the movie. For once, they're not blaming piracy.
Drowning
Ross
I'm sure that most of you were hoping that I was done talking about cycling for the year, or at least that I was done talking about professional cycling and I was going to restrict myself to talking about the appallingly ugly rides I was attempting on my own. Well, unfortunately I couldn't let the most recent cycling story pass (in fact, I received an e-mail requesting that I talk about it). So the story as I reconstruct it goes something like this: whenever an athlete is tested they take two samples, an A and a B sample, so that if the A sample is positive they can test the B sample. Well it turns out that some B samples from the 1999 Tour were still hanging around, and that's where our story starts.
So France's doping lab, in an effort to improve the EPO test, unthaws some of this five-year old urine and starts running tests on it, and some of it comes up positive for EPO (using a test not available in 1999). At this point there's still no story because all the lab has is a number, but then the French newspaper L'Equipe comes along and shows a record with Armstrong's name on it which has a number that matches the number on one of the positive samples, and viola! Scandal erupts.
I work in the lab that did the testing for the 2002 Olympics, and while not a technician myself, I have some familiarity with what goes on and I have my doubts that you can exercise the same confidence in results you get off five-year old urine as the results you get off of "fresh" urine. And I'm not alone in this skepticism. Of course, since a) he's already retired, b) they don't have another sample to do the required confirmation and c) since only L'Equipe and not the lab itself is saying it's Armstrong, there's really nothing to be done except scream a lot.
My big picture take on this whole thing is that yes, there is some doping in cycling, but mostly by the "second tier" people who have historically performed well but never been able to reach the summit of the sport, people like Virenque, Dario Frigo, Rumsas, etc. I think the people really at the pinnacle, particularly people who have been there for quite awhile, have too much attention placed on them to ever consider doping. And when you look at the people I've listed, most of the time they've been caught by raids, not by tests. When tests do come back positive on some top-tier cyclist, it's always a new test or a test done in a really strange fashion, like the Armstrong test. So I guess the moral would be that the people doing the testing are being overzealous and using unproven tests and questionable methadology in an an attempt to stay ahead of the dopers and as a result, they end up seeing postives where there are none.
If only I biked as much as I talked about biking
Ross
There are several downsides to going to GenCon. The first is that it takes me about a week to get back on top of things (one of the reasons why this blog is somewhat overdue). Another is that it makes me long to go to another Con as soon as possible, which is why for the last two years I have bought badges to GenCon SoCal, but never actually gone to GenCon SoCal. I don't think this will happen again this year, but you never know. Finally, you are filled with a desire to buy every gaming product in sight by the memory of all the cool things you didn't buy.
Last night I watched October Sky. It's one of those that had been on my list for a long time, but I'd never got around to seeing it. Which is too bad, because it was an awesome movie -- one of the few I can unreservedly recommend. I wish I had seen it earlier, though I guess the ideal time to see it would have been when I was in high school and it wasn't out yet, so this is just another example of being robbed by time.
In any event, I'm out of time; hopefully by tomorrow I'll be more on top of things and have a chance to post with more energy.
Buried in SPAM
Ross
Well, I'm back from GenCon. In years past I've done a pretty complete report of the convention, but I'm horribly behind as it is, so I don't think I can spare the time to be exhaustive. As usual, it was ridiculously enjoyable. I particularly enjoy seeing people I only get to see once a year. I played some really fun games, partcipated in some killer demos, and basically closed a deal I've been working on since last GenCon. I'm still not at liberty to say much about it, but that should change by the end of the month, and I couldn't be more excited.
The must-attend event at GenCon is True Dungeon. They had two tracks this year and I did both (back to back, I might add). The True Dungeon treasure tokens were some of the hottest items at the con and I managed to snag two ultra-rares, one during each pass. Unfortunately, I did the dungeons right near the end so I didn't have time to sell them at the con, but I'm going to see if I can find a buyer on line. The first ultra-rare I managed to grab I got because of greed. The second I got because of cleverness, but I'll take them any way I can get them. I didn't survive the first section, but my party beat the second with like five seconds left. The mortality rate was really high, so I felt lucky to beat even one.
I guess the big difference between this con and last was that I met a lot more people, which I think I'd like to do more of next time. Of course, next year GenCon is going to be the week after the family reunion I'm in charge of, so hopefully I won't have to miss it. I think actually the nearness of the Con to the reunion serves as a justification, since I'm sure I'm going to need another vacation to recover from running the reunion. Hopefully next year will be like this year and I won't have to do much preperation for the con. Tomorrow hopefully I'll have enough time to track down a link or something similar; for now, I better get back to the ~4000 e-mails that were waiting for me this morning.
On a Gen Con high
Ross
There is something about me, conventions and computers which just don't mix. My brother-in-law generously agreed to let me borrow his dual-boot laptop, which is ideal, because then I can run DireKobold in local mode on the Linux side and use the Windows side to actually connect to the internet should I run into a wireless connection. So I went up to his house last night to finish getting it set up and that's when my past wickedness caught up with me -- right as my "aura of unluck" entered his office, the computer crashed while switching from a static IP to DHCP and everything having to do with networking on the Windows side stopped working.
After fiddling around with things for far too long, we finally decided to do a clean re-install of both OS's. Unfortunately, that didn't really go that smoothly either and around 3:30 am we called it a night. Or I should say rather, my brother-in-law called it a night; I had collapsed in exhaustion long before then. Fortunately, I guess, we had started two days before I was leaving rather than the day before, so that leaves me with today to whip things into shape. I had really hoped to finally be back to the point where I wasn't pulling an all-nighter right before the convention, but it looks like I may not be so lucky.
In any case, despite all my bitching and moaning I am really looking forward to the convention. Also it's important at this point to recognize my totally awesome wife who has gone far beyond what I had any right to expect in allowing me to follow my dreams. My one big regret about going to GenCon is that I will miss our 10-year anniversary, and I just want to mention publicly that she has been extraodinarily understanding about that fact. Well, I'm running late, so I don't have time to include any links. I'll give you a full report when I get back.
Humming songs from West Side Story
Ross
Friday was the company party; they hold it in the overflow parking lot. The kids had a lot of fun, particularly at the beginning of the night when the rides weren't very crowded because everyone was eating. After we ate, the lines got pretty long and my enthusiasm began to wane. Still, it worked out rather well. I think the critical element was leaving the youngest with her grandmother, which left us with just the three oldest, who are a lot easier to manage. On Saturday we went to a small church party where a local butcher cooked up some meat that brought tears to my eyes, it was so good. This time we didn't have any of the kids, so it was even better.
Saturday morning I went on a 23 mile bike ride. The guy I was with only logged 22 miles, but I think the exhausted weaving I did as I went up all the hills added a mile to my route. I was pretty tired going into the ride so I spent most of the rest of the day up until the party that evening taking a nap. There are many things in this life that I don't get to do often enough: naps would certainly have to be high on the list. Before we entirely leave the subject of biking, someone put together this fake 2006 Specialized line of bikes. Despite being a fake, I linked to it anyway because the bikes look so amazing.
I came across an article in the WSJ lamenting the lack of progress we have made in the exploration of space. What particularly struck a cord with me was their assertion that the only thing the last shuttle mission accomplished was returning home safely, something I noticed myself. It really is too bad that we have to spend so many of our resources in this world trying to combat the inherent evil of our species.
Disillusioned
Ross
Most days it's tough to find something interesting to link to. Today I have enough links; that that's probably all I'm going to have time for. First up, we have an blog entry from someone with fairly compelling evidence that the story I linked to yesterday (about the guy dying after playing video games for too long) is an urban legend. When you consider the number of news organizations that ran with the story, I don't feel too bad about being taken in, though it's an important lesson in maintaining a certain level of skepticism. Speaking of which, here's a list of hoaxes and fabrications that made the news.
Moving on, there was a great article on Slate the other day about the "Mega-Ramp," a nine-story tall skate-boarding ramp that's longer than a football field. Danny Way, the guy who came up with the mega-ramp, used it to jump the Great Wall of China. When I read about stuff like this, I realize how great the divide is between myself and people who are truly brave (or crazy).
Finally, there's an article in Popular Science about several instances where science fiction has been amazingly prophetic. Of course, that's not always the case, but in this particular case it was close enough that the government almost stopped publication of a magazine. Well, that's it for the links. In other news, after having kind of a bad night, I biked in to work today (the long way), and you guessed it, it was ugly.
Wondering why 8 bike rides hasn't gotten me in shape yet
Ross
Someone asked in the comments why I hadn't mentioned the huge explosion in Spanish Fork Canyon. I would think the reasons would be obvious, but if they're not, you can check the comments for my response. But certainly I can't argue with the idea that it's newsworthy. It's not every day that a highway is completely wiped out. It is a miracle that no one was hurt, but I guess they had some time to get away from the wreck and warn people before it actually exploded. I can only imagine that the cause of the accident was driver error; you would think you'd be pretty careful driving in front of a trailer full of explosives.
We registered our two school-age children at their new elementary last night. As you may recall, the oldest was admitted into the "Gifted Magnet Program" (something I'm still pleased as punch about) and the other was admitted because he's a sibling. It was quite the mad house: first off they didn't seem to have any record of my second child, which seemed easy enough to resolve, but if experience is any guide, I don't think we've seen the last of that particular error. Secondly, they had some ridiculous number of secondary stops you had to make -- everything from signing up as a art history consultant to buying a school t-shirt.
When it was over everyone was pretty miserable, so we decided to splurge and go to McDonald's. The kids loved it, though I had some regrets. I tried one of their new gourmet chicken sandwiches. I went with the "classic" and got it grilled, and it was smeared with some weird sauce which wasn't really that good, but the kids liked it so that's what counts. Finally, yet another brother-in-law sent me a link (via my wife) to an annoying and infectious Harry Potter song. I don't recommend clicking on it if you value your sanity.
Chilly
Ross
I guess yesterday was just a movie watching day. In addition to "Ladykillers," I also finished watching "Mystic River." In the comments, someone pointed out that I had neglected to mention "O Brother Where Art Thou" in my brief discussion of the best Coen Brothers movies. That was unforgivable, but you'll have to check my own comment in response for a complete discussion of that. Returning to "Mystic River," I quite enjoyed it. There were plot holes and annoying coincidences, but overall it was a great movie with terrific acting and as a complex morality play it succeeded admirably. I probably should make an effort to see more of Eastwood's stuff. I think all the stuff I've seen with him as a director has been pretty good.
Well, it looks like I won't be able to say "playing video games never killed anyone" any longer. A Korean man died after 50 hours of computer games. I guess the only thing I come away with from reading that article is that I wish I had 50 hours to spend just playing computer games. I'm reasonably certain that it wouldn't kill me.
Speaking of games, after letting one of my co-workers talk me into getting back into Magic the Gathering, my re-addiction is finally complete. The 9th edition set was just recently released and I'm anxiously awaiting a entire box of boosters I bought (through a friend) on e-bay. I was under the impression that it would be here on Monday, and each additional day of waiting has been...taxing. The reason I bought a whole box is that we're going to have a 9th Edition Unlimited tournament here at work. It should be pretty fun, but it ain't going anywhere until I get those cards.
Jonesing for a fix
Ross
I'm still trying to recover from the weekend. I didn't really sleep well on Friday, Saturday or Sunday, so I went to bed early last night, but a combination of a late nap and some Dr. Pepper screwed that up, so I didn't necessarily sleep that well last night either. I want to make sure that I'm well-rested before I leave for GenCon, because I know I'm not going to sleep well during the convention. I already have at least one potential all-nighter planned, though just recently I scheduled a morning meeting so I guess I'd better not go too late.
I got back from lunch early and was going to finish my blog entry when my computer kindly reminded me that I had an appointment to go donate platelets. It's a good thing too, (that the computer reminded me) because I had completely forgotten about it. With our NetFlix subscription and the amount I've been donating recently, I'm running out of movies to watch, so I decided to watch The Ladykillers, having enjoyed so many of the Coen Brothers' movies. Unfortunately I was disappointed; I'm not sure what it was, but it just didn't click. I hesitate to speculate, but I think of all things that Hanks may have been off, which is something I don't think I've ever seen. Or perhaps it was the Marlon Wayans character that threw me... In any event, I found myself halfway through wishing I had not forgetten to bring a book.
What's interesting is the consensus seems to be that the last two Coen Brother's movies have been weak, with people painting LadyKillers and Intolerable Cruelty with the same brush. But while I disliked the former, the latter may be my favorite of all their movies (though I would have to see Fargo again to be sure). In any case, it's getting time for me to head home, so I'll wrap it up here.
Worn out
Ross
As was mentioned in the comments, due to some unfortunate illness on the part of my youngest, I didn't end up going biking Saturday morning, which was disappointing. I was actually quite looking forward to it. But I did play D&D twice, which was a lot of fun. I particularly enjoy the start of a new campaign; they're always full of such promise. I thought this one went pretty well, all things considered. It's always such a pain getting the party together. I know series where most of the first book is dedicated to getting all the characters together. But from a game standpoint, every minute you spend with just one character trying to introduce him is a minute every other player sits at the table bored.
I actually restarted something else over the weekend. I had been playing World of Warcraft in a trio with my brother-in-law (the tall one) and a friend. But I wasn't enjoying playing the paladin as much as I had enjoyed playing a warrior so I convinced them to start over with me as the warrior. I feel bad that I made them restart, but for me I am already much happier with this set-up than I was with the last. The problem was is that I have such a limited amount of time to play that I want to really optimize what time I have. In any case, I'm having fun now, course just as we get started the B.I.L. leaves for California.
Link-wise, slashdot had a link to the Top 10 technologies we miss. Manned exploration of space was fittingly #1. Elsewhere on the net, Christopher Hitchens had a great article on Iraq. Normally I would avoid linking to the political stuff, but I think this article raised some very interesting questions. I thought I'd go for the triple play and include a third link, but nothing's jumping out at me.
Very tired, but what's new?
Ross
A couple of people wanted to know if I was alright after yesterday's entry. Uh...yeah...I'm fine. It was just one of those days where you have 20 things competing for your attention and you're being pulled so many different ways all at once that it's impossible to focus on one thing long enough to get it done and reduce the number of things on your plate. In actuality, it's been a pretty good week all things considered, and not only has it been good so far but the near future promises to be just as groovy.
Among the fun things I have scheduled for this weekend is playing D&D not once, and going on a bike ride. I'm less than two weeks away from having an almost illegal amount of fun at GenCon, and that's just stratching the surface. The one thing I am lacking in is new video game to play. Pickings have been kind of slim recently but of course if you've followed the news at all you know that there has been no shortage of video gaming controversy. I'm pretty firmly in the opinion that video games are basically harmless camp and it's good to see that The Economist agrees with me.
Of course, I find reading The Economist to be fairly tiring, so having read the article myself I'm out of steam, so I'll catch you on Monday.
Fun, fun, fun

I'm drawing a total blank as I look at the white space that is my "New Entry Form". I really have nothing, not even a link.
Brain Dead

I went for a bike ride last night (as I mentioned). Before leaving I briefly considered taking along my normal glasses in case it got cloudy, but I decided against it. When I pulled out of the driveway it was hot and sunny, but there was a cloud bank right below the sun. Initially my thought was, great this will give me some shade, cool down the ride, but I was already regretting having sunglasses on. After heading north for a few miles I headed up into the "avenues," which basically consisted of going up a steep hill for a few blocks and then cutting over and recovering before going up the next hill. In this fashion I finally reached the high road that ran above the cemetery, which was just about the same time the lightning started.
I cut through the university, which was a little nerve-racking because I ended up on some big roads with low visibility and construction. It was about this time that it started raining. Fortunately I made it off the big roads by the time it started pouring. When I say pouring I mean pouring. I'm sure there are storms far more intense than the one I biked through last night, but not in Utah. Myself and another cyclist sought refuge under a tree for awhile, but it was about that time when the wind whipped up and it stopped providing any shelter. As long as I was on the flat and had a bicycle lane I wasn't too worried, but a short distance past the tree was where I had to turn down to get off the hill. My brakes weren't working very well, so I decided to walk down the hill. It's probably a good thing because if I was going to pinpoint the height of the storm it was while I was walking down the hill: I was getting grit blown into my face, branches were being blown off of trees, I could barely see across the street -- it was that bad.
By the time I was safely off the hill it had started to calm down a little bit, or perhaps I had reached total saturation. In any case, the wind had died down somewhat. Once I was back to biking on a flat it went pretty fast, and despite the tempest, I arrived home at around the time I said I would, which is good, because if I had been five minutes late, my wife would probably have started calling hospitals. Overall quite the adventure. Speaking of quite the adventure, there was that plane crash of sorts in Toronto. One of the passengers apparently took some pictures.
Still a little wet
Ross
For some reason I've been getting off to a slow start the last couple of days, and it's been sometime in the afternoon before I get a chance to post my blog. Normally I post it during lunch. If I miss that window there's no telling when it will be posted or of what quality it will be. Obviously your first question is, "how is it possible for the quality to get any worse?" I often wonder that myself, but clearly there are still depths of "talentless-hack-dom" left to be explored. I guess it's that feeling that I can always do worse which keeps me writing.
I fly to GenCon two weeks from tomorrow, and I'm pretty excited for the show. For one thing (at least so far), it doesn't appear that I'm going to have any last minute deadline I'm furiously preparing for up to the moment the plane leaves, and what I already have scheduled for the con is shaping up to be incredibly fun and possibly even moderately productive. It's been at least three years since I went to a Con primarily to enjoy myself, so this will be a welcome relief. Sleep is secondary this year.
I'm planning to bike again this evening, but rather than last Tuesday when I tried to go up the canyon I think I'm going to try and mostly keep it flat this time around. We'll see if that actually happens -- it's kind of hard to get much of a ride in here in the valley without going up some hills. There are, of course, routes that will take you into neighboring cities, but I don't think I'm quite ready for that yet, and certainly that's not the kind of ride you take in the evening. I couldn't find a link to include, but there were two great links yesterday, so hopefully I'm covered.

Saturday I went back up Millcreek canyon; this time I did it with a friend and I started at the bottom of the canyon rather than the bottom of the valley. My friend is in better shape than I am and shortly after we started I told him to pass me. He took off up the road with an impressive amount of speed. As it turns out, since this was his first canyon he didn't gauge his effort very well and I found him stopped halfway up the first real steep part. After that he followed me for awhile trying to recover, but eventually he did and took off again. It became apparent fairly early on that I hadn't fully recovered from Tuesday's ride and so I figured I'd turn around at the gate, where I assumed my friend would wait for me -- that was a mistake.
As it turns out, he had stopped to take a nature break and while he was doing it he heard someone go by, their HRM beeping, and figured it had to be me, so he spent the time trying to catch up to me, which forced me to go all the way to the top (just over 7600 feet). This was not a pleasant experience. I don't know that I've ever gone slower up a hill then I did up some of the final steep sections of the canyon. I'm reasonably certain there were a couple of times when I could have walked my bike faster. Looking around the internet a little I found an account of someone who had done all four of the Salt Lake Canyons in a single day. You can compare his experience with Millcreek to mine.
Changing tracks, Saturday is the 60th anniversary of the bombing of Hiroshima. There has been a lot of revisionist history since that time and I would venture to opine that the prevailing opinion, at least in academia, is that it was a mistake. I came across this article in the Weekly Standard which does a very good idea of going through all of the declassified intelligence and dissecting exactly what the principals were thinking. One of the conclusions is that the reason Truman didn't do more to justify dropping the bomb is that it would mean revealing that the plan for a ground invasion of Japan had completely fallen apart. An interesting read.
