when might it show on the master server list? I'd like to get a decent GC tf2 night going. maybe start one night a week with 6-8 community guys in hopes another 6-8 pubbers show up?

Good idea.

Remember that there is a tax credit of $8,000 for first time home buyers. I believe that was extended out to June or so of this year.

Happy bday!

I found out how another server I frequent on TF2 populates it's server:

Create a Public GC Member Account.

Create daily event reminders for Public Members at X:XX time to have people join the server.

Have 1 or 2 admins join everyday at this time along with Public Members.

Enjoy a full server.

Success.

Best post I've seen yet this year

Congratulations!

For the past 8 months I have been working as a certified Medical Technologist (MT ASCP) or now we supposedly have a new title as Medical Laboratory Scientist (MLS ASCP) on 2nd shift 3:00-11:30pm. I work in the laboratory of a hospital processing the specimens of patients which is mostly blood, some urine etc. and run the testing involved with those specimens. My job is to run the tests ordered by the Doctor whether it be with a machine or some manual method and critically analyze the results to see if they are acceptable, unacceptable, critical to the patient, or just normal. We do the testing and make sure the results are correct and acceptable so that the Doctor can properly treat, diagnose, and take care of their patients.

 

On the side of all the testing we have to be semi-instrument technicians for the machines that we run because sometimes they don't work properly and if we can fix the problem without having an engineer come to the lab to fix the machine, the better our life is. We also run daily quality control and routine maintenance on the machines to keep them in good working condition. I hope to maybe one day become one of the guys who goes around to the labs fixing the machines, maybe. My job is definitely an interesting job and one that not many people hear or think about.

 

I have a Bachelor of Arts in Biology and a Certificate of Registry in Medical Technology.

My girlfriend does the same work as you over at the VA hospital here in Chicago, Samurai.

As for me, nothing now. I was working as an admissions advisor at an "online university." Was laid off in November and currently unemployed. My BA in Marketing hasn't helped much thus far.

Sure, why not. Name a place and time. Unfortunately, without a job I have all the free time in the world.

I know a few guys here are from WI too which isn't too far away from Chi-town.

Have Cafe Press improved over the last 5 years?

 

 

 

Also, I'm glad you are back from the dead and look forward to you directing sequels to The Birds, Psycho, and other masterpieces of yours.

Not a lot of people get the hitchcock insipiration.

Really? I noticed it immediately since Hitchcock is my favorite movie director! It looked like Hitchcock with a baseball cap to me.

Um one problem, I don't think basements are standard in southern california's dwellings lol.

Well, if you're in fear of death, your bathtub is probably the next safest place then, but there's no need to fear unless you can hear or see it.

Awesome, just got a called from automated emergency service on possible tornado in my area, southern california. I've always wanted to take up windsurfing.

A tornado in Orange County? That seems bizarre to me.

We get a decent amount of tornadoes here in the midwest. My advice: go in a basement if the skies are greenish or if you hear a train like noise.

Watched it in IMAX last Sat. Was told to arrive 1:30 hours prior to movie. Even then, there were already a line outside the theater. Freezed my arse waiting. Never gonna do it for a movie again...

 

Didn't he say this was to be a trilogy?

I went to an IMAX too. I think it is the only way to see it.

 

He did say it could be a trilogy. He would make the next one if the first was had any success. So, I think we can all expect a part two.

 

Yea, I'd be really surprised if he made a 2nd, cause I thought the 1st wrapped up pretty nicely leaving little for a sequel.

 

i second this

I just saw a Variety Screening Series showing of Avatar at the Arclight theater in Hollywood tonight, followed with a Q&A with James Cameron and two of his visual effects artists. One of the artists mentioned that they'll never again do this for the first time, meaning that everything they did in the making of Avatar was just a lot of instinctive grasping in the dark. Cameron agreed with him. He also told him to expect the studio to want another one, as they'd passed the billion $ mark. A second film will be easier, as the technology now exists, thanks to the movie. The moderator asked if there *would* be an Avatar sequel. To which Cameron answered that the plan had always been to make a trilogy of films. Finally, Cameron actually said it: "Yes, there'll be another."

Sweet deal, bush.

Merry Christmas!

R.I.P. Wayfarer. I remember playing CS with him quite often and always enjoyed him in-game, but I never had the chance to know him personally. I guess when a community member disappears for a while, I always just assume that they're busy with life, work, new games, family, etc. I never imagine the worst. He'll be missed.

Best of '09? Nope, but it's probably up in the top 20.

One of the best of all time? No way!

For me, this was a 3 out of 4 star movie. Visually, the movie was perfect. Yes, the 3D glasses make it even that much better, but where the movie falls behind is in the story about half way through. The first 1/3 of the movie was amazing and kept me in awe with the exploration of the planet. Flawless again. The middle of the movie; however, started to drag. The sappy love story was slow, underdeveloped, and boring. The final 3rd of the movie is the part that fans will keep coming back for. I loved the final act, but it had one MAJOR flaw:

TF2 as well! Where do you usually play?

Random servers. "TheVille" servers are some of the only ones I bookmark for TF2. I don't think there is a TF2 server that GC people frequent though.

I liked that clip. They should have left it in the movie. The actual movie was garbage.

I finally finished getting 100% of the achievements yesterday. Only took 50 hours to do

I've got it.

@YM - what would be the reason to have Dave present at the discussion?

Because Dave can potentially will be living with everyone else. Wouldn't Steve and Michelle want to know Dave's situation and feelings in the matter if he is spending time under the same roof? I understand that Dave does not have a "final say" in any matter, but his point of view might help "paint the picture" better in this situation.
