Mondi got here on monday.

I was on my roof cleaning up after the electricians, but according to mondi this makes a great 'fearless leader' shot. PS: I am wearing a LAN05 shirt.

Checkmate came by today to help pull weeds and clean up the yard. Tent goes in tomorrow.

If anyone wants 'em, I have the entire portfolio - every picture taken with my camera for the whole weekend - available as one huge (i mean, over a gig) ZIP file:

SM LAN '05 PICTURES (http://www.short-media.com/smlan/SMLAN05.ZIP)

There are a lot of random shots in there, some low quality, most good. This is "unedited" stuff. They are mostly Canon RAW format (.CRW) files, which can be opened with the Microsoft RAW Image viewer, Picasa 2, or Photoshop CS and later. There are some .JPG files in there.

Again, it's over a gig. Download at your own peril! :D

You guys ever think of putting your cases on the ground for more space? We did that last year. There was like no space at all, just enough for a mouse pad practically underneath the CRT next to you.

OMG that Microsoft RAW Image Viewer is a POS!! By the end of viewing all those photos it was using 310mb of RAM. I need a freakin restart now.

He is indeed an attention whore.

On monday night, I went out to the tent to grab some of the tiki candles, and there was an animal in the tent - I saw the silhouette and just assumed it was snuffie. Suddenly, snuffie "huffed" and ran up next to me, FROM BEHIND - the thing I was looking at was NOT snuffie. It was a giant raccoon or opossum :wtf: -- obviously the thing took off like gangbusters when it heard the dog.
