Look ma, I’m infamous!

Yay! Adriaan was nice enough to include me in the KDE people-of-PIM page! A prouder moment I’ve not had all week. =:) In other news…. I saw Episode III, and I must say that my predictions were largely accurate, except that reading the screenplay/book was somehow worse than seeing it all movie-fied. Real Life (TM) [...]

Feelin’ Blarghy

Written by Jason 'vanRijn' Kasper. 1 comment Posted in: Life in General

I am. I feel like I’m standing still when I should be running. I feel exhausted. I have little time and too much to do in it. Blargh. That’s about all I have to say about that.
