Sweet Jesus, It’s MacGyver!

From the category of “best show ever”, MacGyver is just coming on Spike right now. That’s really is a great television show: when I heard they were aiming for the whole “first network for men” thing, I figured it would be all truck shows and wrestling. Or “wraaaslinn”, as it were. I’m pleased that there’s so much Star Trek.

Yesterday, which was supposed to be reserved for studying for the political science exam I just wrote, was spent sleeping. I have been ridiculously tired lately, to the point of shame. Stick me on a couch and I’m out of it. It all worked out in the end, of course — the final was pretty easy — so I guess I can’t complain.

Recapping the last few days, Sunday night led to some fantastic greatness with Keddy and Steve, driving around aimlessly and having generic summerish adventures. I can’t wait until the weathers gets hotter, but in the mean time, I’m having a blast. The adventure took us all over, including a visit to Dingle Tower*

(That’s a real place, I swear. Not some creepy reference to anything. Ew.)

, and culminating in Keddy taking home a prize. It’s a big Orange Crush cooler, the kind you see at football games and large barbecues. It’s pretty friggin’ awesome. Anyway, I’m currently accepting applications for cohorts for an adventure on Thursday night (having another exam out of the way will require some adventuring). Let me know who’s interested.

For those who don’t read the comments, you’ll be excited to know that everybody’s favourite Aussie, Kitta, made some web-ookies, including some just for us here at ShinyPlasticBag. You rock, Kitta.

Remote controls with new batteries kick ass. So does the Price is Right. And so does Kraft Dinner. I’m going to combine my love for these three things. And fall asleep on the couch.

The Dingle rocks.

My mom grew up not far from there.

She used to play within the tower.

Throw in a codeine and you’ve got a vision of me a few days ago after trying to do one of those "wall flip" things the Parkour guys in France do.

Kitta

By the way, SPB.com was very yummy. :)

Keddy@school

Email me your public key.

Taylor

Mark, youre missing half the coolness of A9 if you arent on IE. hover over the site info button, its way cool. (im typing this in firefox and that feature didnt work for me)

Pugs

Oh hey mark I got sunday off so I can go to the thing.

Steve

I don’t think A9 looks as good as Google. The off orange seems weird to me.

Mark@Floor

Oh, it’s ugly alright. But the site info stuff rocks.

Pugs

Wheeeee… I finally got my damn raise!.

Mark@Floor

Cool thing: on a Unix box with PHP, type PHP at the command prompt, type in some php code, and hit CTRL-D to run it. Wicked wicked.

Tony

that is cool. Does it run as a shell script?

Mark@Floor

Nah, php does all the actual work of PHP. On Windows, it’s php.exe, but you can’t use it in the same way since CTRL-D doesn’t work. However, you can parse any PHP file this way:

php < somefile.php > output.txt

Greatness.
