Stepmom got me a Hello Kitty laptop bag. Sadly it's too small for my laptop.

Your laptop needs to go on a diet.

It's been said that some people enjoy a tight fit when inserting their laptop into a hello kity bag. Some like a more loose fit.

[magius96]

Tight isn't always better...if it's too tight it could apply too much tension upon the screen causing it to crack and go soft.

I just got back from a 7 day Caribbean cruise that was my Christmas present. Hit up some islands. Snorkled with some fish. Cut a rug at the all white[clothing] party.


Whoooo!


Yes, I am still pale; I believe in the importance of sunblock.

A Crown cap. Best hat ever made. Christmas day it was about -30C here, and my head and ears stayed toasty warm.

Also a Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1

Wife treats me well, she does.

Skint - British for broke according to google. They really need to make a British-to-Mrcn translator. Lol.

At my grandmas I got a tin of homemade cookies and some wall sconces.

Shouldn't that be "a tin of homemadee biscuits"?

Biscuits are things you put jelly and nutella on.

For my birthday everybody got me air fresheners and candles. ..... mmmmmmmkay my house doesn't stink that bad lol. I also got Halo 3 and dinner.

Sort of like getting Crest Whitestrips and an ab roller for your birthday?

Oh one last thing to add to this - for my birthday Pops found a dvd 4pack that contained: Dune, Flash Gorden, Battlestar Galactica, and wait for it.. wait for it.. The Last Star Fighter. Whooowhoo! If it would have wedged 'Enemy Mine' in there I would have keeled over.

Did you consume as much chicken wings and liquor as I did? I drank one in your honor too.

[modi123_1]

Naw.. a few tacos and mostly liquids... the flu knocked out my sense of smell (which of course jacks up the sense of taste) so I had my sister sniffing shots given to me.. until she started making side cash off misdirecting me. Either way - Team Modi = win.

I hope yours was filled with decent shots and some of the finest malt liquors pocket change could find!

[NeoTifa]

Thank you and im sorry you were sick.

I got some warm running clothes, because apparently it gets cold in Boston. At some point. Allegedly.

I also got a stack of books I'd asked for:

• Programming Concurrency on the JVM
  
• Practical VIM
  
• tmux
  
• The Joy of Clojure

For my annual self-gift, I purchased "Javascript: The Good Parts."

I also received lots of fiction ebooks, so I need to get my act together and knock out some reading.

You're still out of town? You missed the snow.

Would that be Programming in Scala, then?
Seriously, one of the things that I'm really interested in about scala is the work they've done to make concurrency transparent. I've got a few experiments I want to do with this, as soon as I make the time. I'm intrigued by the idea of writing classes in Java and controlling them with little Scala classes.

I'll throw in my two cents. . . For Christmas I got 4 books. Two of them are written by the famous Kevin Mitnick (stories about his and others hacking adventures), one is about the Python language, and the other is a book not about any specific language but geared toward all languages. I also got some clothes and shampoo and body wash and money. With the money I bought the books, a video card, two things to convert the dvi slots in my video card to vga (so I can rock two monitors ), a power strip, and some headphones with a built in mic.
