Why I hate code generators...

From the rSpec 1.1.4 release notes:

Note: we've removed the metaclass method from Object. There were some generated specs that used it, and they will now break. Just replace the metaclass call with (class << self; self; end) and all will be well.

Gauntlet: Seven Sorrows (2005) is now available for download on XBox 360 Live, and I regret not catching it the first time around. (Well, no, I think $60 might have been too much to pay for it, but for $15, it’s freaking awesome.)

Basically, it’s an ultra-fast-paced, Live-enabled four-player God of War. It’s not especially deep; there are invisible walls all over the place, and the strategy doesn’t vary that much by enemy. But with multiple players, it definitely requires teamwork. “Someone cast the repulse spell!” “Save the cheese for me!” Diana, Lenny and I are playing it now, and it’s just challenging enough to get your pulse pumping. Good stuff.

If anyone downloads it and wants to party up, let us know.

When I tell people I'M allergic to the sun, I'm only joking...

Diana’s taking some Benadryl in to Lenny’s school - he’s breaking out in a rash. Evidently he’s inherited his grandmother’s allergy to… sunlight. The last time this happened was after the Ren Faire, and yesterday was Water Day at school. He was outdoors at midday for a prolonged period for both events.

I’d say no way this was the case, if his grandmother didn’t have it as well… Hopefully we’ll be disproven over time.

Google Health - well, that’s ballsy. I’d hate to see Google sued out of existence over a service that’s only barely in-scope for them, though. I wouldn’t touch the healthcare industry with a 10-foot pole.

Whew! I thought it was over.

Scrubs (TV series) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia “In June 2007, the executive producer Bill Lawrence announced that he had signed a four-year contract with ABC[4], which will air an eighth season of Scrubs during the 2008-2009 television season.”
