Network Analyst who plays around with many things open source when he is not feeding his MMORPG addiction.

Gaming: Final Fantasy XI is celebrating the New Year (The Year Of The Monkey). Mama Monkey, Papa Monkey, and their offspring, Speak-No-Evil, See-No-Evil, and Hear-No-Evil are wandering around quite a few outside zones. Apparently if you give them a gift (assuming you find one of the brief moments the stupid monkeys will stay still) they will cast a buff on you. It is the little things that make a game fun sometimes.
This screenshot reminds me of how bad FFXI's built in screenshot systems sucks. Playstation 2 TV resolution captures with lossy JPEG compression. I really need to look at the DirectX screen capture utilities one of these days...
Books: I am midway through reading the Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter series. Very entertaining.
