Boo!

The new housemate has just pulled out.
And the ads at Readings went up last night, meaning I’ll have to wait another full week before putting another ad up.
F*&k!!!
Hooray!

We have a new housemate!
Welcome Rob from Dr. Invisiablo to the Roden Street fold.
Speaking of Roden Street, I did finally fall down those stairs at home (just after showing a prospective housemate through the place and making the comment “I’ve lived here for two and a half years and have never fallen down them”), but thankfully I was sober enough to get away with nothing but a sore left leg and arm.
P.S. After deciding that fuckinghelldude.net wasn’t such a wise choice of domain name (Google doesn’t like swearing), I’ve registered craiga.id.au as my domain name. WordPress.com now has an export function, but I need to wait for WordPress 2.1 for the import function (EDIT: it looks like I might be waiting a while; it’s only 34% complete at the moment).
Hope for the Dogs!
June 19, 2006
Since the last time I thought about the progress of the Dogs' season (which was just after our round nine loss to Collingwood in which we lost Bob Murphy to the Dogs' knee curse), things have gone a lot better than I had imagined. We've racked up wins against Hawthorn, Fremantle and Brisbane, despite Grant being our only regular tall option up forward. The wins weren't always convincing, but we've shown enough to score the four points, which is all that matters in the end.
We're now sitting fourth on the ladder, a position we'll still be in at the end of the round if Collingwood can get over Sydney. We have eight wins so far, and only need four more for the rest of the season to secure a berth in the finals. And if the Dogs can keep up the classy, gutsy performances, we'll do more than just make the finals.
ALF is awesome…

Pet Mouse
June 9, 2006
Anyone want a pet mouse? His name is Gerald, he's got his own cage, wheel, and so on. Free to a good home. Hell, free to a mediocre one — it's got to be better than Roden Street, right?
Cave Story
June 9, 2006
"Doukutsu Monogatari" (that's "Cave Story" in English) is a side-scrolling action adventure game that's very reminisient of games like Castlevania and Metroid, right down to the NES-era graphics and sound.
You start out in a cave, by yourself, with no idea who you are or what to do. Pretty soon you figure out how to get out of the room and enter a town. In this town, you find out you're in the strange world of the Mimigas and they need your help to rescue one of their own.
As far as I can tell, it was developed years ago by a Japanese group calling themselves Studio Pixel and made available for free. Another group translated the game into English, and now it enjoys a huge cult following — so huge, in fact, that a company called Variant Interactive is currently working on a sequel for the PSP.
You can grab the game and the English translation patches for both Windows and Mac OS X over at http://www.gameflaws.com/cavestory/, a site dedicated to the game.
