Lair of the Gecko. Where do geckos live, really? Sunday, October 31, 2004. Update: Our final total on trick-or-treaters was around 23. Way down from last year, I think, but it was raining pretty good most of the evening. This isn't just All Hallow's Eve, though. This is also NaNoWriMo. Posted by Ryan at 5:00 PM. Links to this post. Saturday, October 30, 2004. 28 going on 29. I'm pretty sure I'd be sick. Posted by Ryan at 7:24 PM. Links to this post. Friday, October 29, 2004. Five days and counting. Just ...

Lair of the Gecko. Where do geckos live, really? Wednesday, September 29, 2004. This past weekend, I went down to Sheridan. For my class reunion. After 10 years, I'd expected to be a little surprised and depressed by how much my high school had changed. Instead, I was surprised and depressed by how little. Admittedly, though, for 25 year-old carpet, it's looking pretty good. Probably a testament to its original quality. Beforehand with Jon West, one of my best and oldest friends from band, baseball, Scou...

Lair of the Gecko. Where do geckos live, really? Tuesday, March 09, 2004. I love the smell of books. I'll grant that it probably has to do with my mother being a librarian. That concession has nothing to do with some silly Lamarckian "it's in my blood" idea, but is simply because I practically grew up in her library. Smell is a very powerful trigger of memories. So it was with a pang of longing and a tear in my eye that I read this article. I'd just like to add a few things to that:. First, in the intere...

Lair of the Gecko. Where do geckos live, really? Monday, November 29, 2004. Had a good trip down to see our families. We got a couple of extra days off, so we were able to stay a little longer than usual. What that meant was that we got to spend even more time driving back and forth than usual. Pretty tired. Tired now. Bed soon. More later. Posted by Ryan at 9:26 PM. Links to this post. Tuesday, November 23, 2004. Harps and Halo (2). Well, after worrying about trying to hold off on getting Halo 2. This p...

Geneticists and researchers tell us that in the future it will be possible to make drugs that are genetically customized to particular individuals for both recreational and therapeutic uses, possibly without addiction or harmful side-effects. When that day comes, mine will probably approximate the effects of this. Posted by Ryan at 8:31 PM. Links to this post. Tuesday, August 24, 2004. Really). Although I really, really wanted ...

Lair of the Gecko. Where do geckos live, really? Friday, January 30, 2004. I don't have a thing about lizards. Really. It's a long story. During my college days. I worked as an assistant Solaris sysadmin. In our office, all of the systems were named for home cleaning products. That sort of fun, quirky naming scheme appealed to me, so when we got Ethernet drops in our dorm rooms, I decided that I ought to do something similar with my personal systems. So when Action Quake took off in our dorm, I needed a ...

Lair of the Gecko. Where do geckos live, really? Thursday, December 23, 2004. To PSP or Not to PSP. This past week I got to actually play a Sony PSP that a friend brought over from Japan. After reading the early reviews, I was fully prepared to dislike it. I must say, I was pleasantly surprised. I really can't say, since it will probably depend on personal preference. I can say this, though: my prediction is that the PSP is what you'll see NBA players and rap stars playing on TV. It's the Cadilla...We we...

Lair of the Gecko. Where do geckos live, really? Monday, June 28, 2004. I just wanted to add that my quest to return to real health after the ravages of grad school and a desk job is going well. I lost 4 lbs. this week out of my 50 lb. goal (trying to go from 230 to 180). I'm using a really radical weight loss plan to do it. It's called Eating Healthier and Exercising More. And the NPR story. About his new health initiative. Were at least somewhat inspirational. Posted by Ryan at 11:43 PM. Right after He...

Lair of the Gecko. Where do geckos live, really? Thursday, July 29, 2004. And more rain. It's been raining here a lot. Lately. Yesterday I had to reinforce the staples that hold up the plastic sheet above my desk which catches the water dripping out of the ceiling. The originals were starting to pull loose under the weight. Since it was supposed to rain all night tonight, I drained the water out before I left. I'd guess there was slightly more than a quart. Posted by Ryan at 11:23 PM. Links to this post.
