For the love of a game...

Mucho dinero

14-15 years turned $40-50 into $1025.

I hear a sealed copy of Chrono Trigger went for even more.

Night...

When you're roaming the city after 4 AM Friday Night/Saturday Morning what, if anything, is there to do?

Sometimes I just want to keep going.

I thought that someone could make some good money on some type of place that served food aimed at the bar crowd (does panos still stay open all hours of the night) maybe from just around happy hour to like 11 am so you could also sell breakfast.

Wiki holds many answers.

tinypliny writes at 02:02:34 04/25/09 - Comment #47921: Painterly. Is that even a real word? LOL

theli writes at 02:01:13 04/25/09 - Comment #47920: Har.

And a little research turned up a few extra little bits of accomplishment to do. Yay!

theli writes at 01:28:19 04/25/09 - Comment #47916: Finished up braid. (Completely.) I can relate to this. *happy*

theli writes at 12:48:43 04/25/09 - Comment #47912: Or louie's, sure.

So... Really nothing out there other than the late night munches and private residences...

paul writes at 12:00:11 04/25/09 - Comment #47907: I don't think there is much of an after hours scene in Buffalo, unless you are partying at someone's apartment, etc

theli writes at 06:35:33 04/25/09 - Comment #47903: Well, I ended up staying at home, bought braid, and got to world 4. Huzzah. Break time.

tinypliny writes at 05:50:04 04/25/09 - Comment #47901: Get back home and cook an elaborately awesome breakfast? :)

Ada Lovelace

It is Ada Lovelace day.

The story of women in computing is pretty sad actually. In the early days, teams of female programmers worked on the systems of the time. This was during the war.

When the war ended, they were forcibly removed. Those that clung to their career weren't exactly treated with respect. One woman that excelled in spite of this is the late Rear Admiral Grace Murray Hopper.

"It's easier to ask forgiveness than it is to get permission"

She created the first compiler and was involved in the team behind the Univac I. I've always thought of her story as an amazing one.

Can you imagine how different the IT field would be if a small group of people didn't succeed in turning software development into a boys club? These women excelled at this work. All this prescribed gender role bullshit is absolutely unnecessary. It's a real shame.

How did this happen?

I did not have a single drink yesterday. I feel like I've failed to fulfill an obligation to an entire ethnicity. Feel free to boo and hiss.
