Pack your bags! (SITE CHANGE)
Jan/11 2
We’re getting the f%&# out of here! I’ve been planning on moving my web hosting from Yahoo! to GoDaddy for a while. Just one of the many reasons being that I can host multiple domains from the same web hosting account. More on that story on the other side.
For now, get your shit together and head on over to www.in-the-cup.com
The Brigade strikes back

and falls in lava
then dies a little
then sits on a throne
Happy holidays!
Dec/10 2
I know that most if not all of the Cup will be dispersing for the holidays, so I just wanted to say merry Christmas, happy New Year’s, etc, before everyone runs away and I forget entirely.
That might be a marmot on the left, but I’m not quite sure. Might be a beaver. The feet look weird and I can’t tell what kind of tail it has. In either case, as a holiday bonus, this critter will not steal your soul.
Reflections
Dec/10 2
I see you on the water’s face,
in the oval that ripples between
your smile and my scowl
I hear the echo of your steps
from my duckfooted stride,
and I can almost see the mirage
of your path reaching out across the sea
Your airless breath aches in my chest
as I wait
alone under the sky
They wouldn’t say it now:
“she must be just like her father”
because I’m so plainly
you
Dusk to your dawn,
shadowed gold and brown
Tell me,
what should I hope for the one yet to come?
She too will gaze across the deep
to distant lights and lands
Will it wear our face for her as well?
If it does (if it doesn’t)
how will I bear to see her smile?
Tell me
now while there is time
for us to stand at this shore
together with twin reflections
fusing and parting with each wave,
spanning the distance to the moon
Happy birthday, Mr. Crow!

Happy birthday! Hope you’ve had a great day and that your party this weekend is loads of fun! =)
Humble Indie Bundle
Dec/10 1
In case anyone is interested, apparently last year a group of indie game developers offered a “pay what you want” bundle of games in which they split the cost with charity. Guess it was succesful because they’re offering a second bundle this year:
- Braid
- Cortex Command
- Machinarium
- Osmos
- Revenge of the Titans
From what I’ve heard, Braid and Machinarium are wonderful games, and considering you can pay what you want, that’s pretty awesome. I love the model and hope people adopt it..
We need a montage!

I’m bad at this spare time thing… So here is my year, represented by pictures for each month:
January: no school yet, so I can hang out on the couch with the critters all day
February: the 48-hour project (this is a little guy collecting shells at the beach and big waves coming and him saying “crap”)
March: adventures in chat roulette!

Yay! I’m done with finals and unless I’m totally mistaken, my big ass test this morning went fine. Probably not 100%, but I should definitely pass, which is all I care about at this point. I’m going to go stare at a wall for a bit and then try to remember what I do with stuff called “spare time.”
I would also like to hug a wombat, but I don’t have one, so I’ll have to settle for Edward. She’s kinda wombatty.
Hide yo passwords
Dec/10 4
Gawker learned a few lessons in security recently. Not that I’m some expert, but their shit got straight hacked. They say “compromised” but this link tells a different story [updated link]. Apparently they were using a really outdated encryption algorithm and only stored the first eight characters for each password. In the link provided, hackers have listed all people that use “password” and “qwerty” as their passwords. As with most other knowledge, I got this info from reddit.
Anyways, if any cuppers have an account with any Gawker websites, you definitely need to change it. And if you use that same pass with other sites, change that too!
[EDIT] Guess, the data is available via torrent [torrent down] now…
[EDIT2] Well, uhhh, I’ve seen some of the data released and can confirm my account and moose’s show up…granted, our passwords are encrypted, but from what I’ve read, a decent brute force attack can crack them. I’ll probably try to crack my own at some point. Also, I’ve read that the new password you create on gawker should be a throwaway because they aren’t quite secure yet….sigh….
[EDIT3] Good recap of this whole gawker shit-storm

What can I say, I’ll never be a song writer.
So yeah its been a while. I don’t mean to bring people down but I’ve explained this whole thing a few times, and it finally has a happy ending-ish.
Last month has been pretty crazy for everyone in my family.
