Goin' to Buffalo!

Hey, man, I get my thrills how I can.

I'm also hoping to work out some really dorky stuff with my boyfriend for the cool RDF project we're working on. (I have the content in development, and he's figuring out the format.) He keeps getting obsessed with the Semantic Web. I actually conned him into loading the dishwasher last night because he was talking about it and so engrossed in telling me what he'd learned that he didn't notice when I led him to the kitchen and put a dirty plate in his hand and opened the dishwasher. He just absentmindedly started putting the dirty dishes from the sink to the dishwasher as he kept talking, and I nodded and made intelligent comments now and then about the W3C and its role in standards adoption, and the exciting possibilities of OWL and RSS.

Brilliant! I love the Semantic Web too!
:D Dorks are the best.

I've been sick for 3 days and I'm finally coming good. :)

This weekend is carnival weekend in London. I'm going to sample some jerk chicken and lots of the other crazy food that seems to crop up there. I'll be washing it down with the rum cocktails that seem to be alarmingly common at carnival.

Anyone else making their way into Notting Hill for the carnival?

It's getting close to 5 and I've been trying to figure this out... I'll probably end up at a club tonight.. maybe pick up a 6 pack and play some disc golf in the morning. I have a friend's B-day party I'll have to make an appearance at tommorow night..

[ukgimp]

>>disc golf

what in the name of Ramases is that? :)

[seth_wilde]

It's golf for slackers :) Instead of clubs & balls you use frisbee like discs. There is different discs for different tasks (driver, putter, midrange, etc..) and instead of holes there's baskets.. There's even a professional league..

[rogerd]

golf for slackers

Hardly... I've yet to see a golf cart on a disc golf course. ;)

You'll have to fill me in on this pastime, Seth... I'm 5 minutes away from a course, but have never played. I've flung a disc golf frisbee a few times, and those things are nearly as lethal as Odd Job's hat... definitely not for playing catch!

[TheDoctor]

Watching the English VS South Africa at Headingley... I'll be wearing rather a large red and white top hat if anybody is going

I'll look out for you on the telly.

[tbear]

[bunltd]

Moving a dozen domains to a new server, gizmo quiz, who knows what else...

[AAnnAArchy]

Watching The Little League World Series, and working.

[werty]

Sweet Sweet Beer. Work is done enough for the night... Time to go out, get drunk, and do something stupid [webmasterworld.com]. See ya at the quiz [webmasterworld.com].

[2_much]

Moving to my new house :)

[hurlimann]

Sorting out the damage and backlog caused by the virus with beer in hand!

"You'll have to fill me in on this pastime"

The barrier to entry is super low (that's probably why it's popular with college kids & hippies). To get started all you really need is a putter and driver. You can usually pick these up at large sporting good stores for about $8 each. After that you just need to head to the course and start playing (99% of disc golf courses are free). The rules are almost identical to those of regular golf.

I have a nice 18 hole course close to my house, If your ever in Denver I'll show you the ropes..

Guys! I'm back in town, did ya miss me? ... did I miss anything important?
