New toy!
Yay! I got a Dreamcast in the mail today! It came with 6 games, 2 controllers, 2 memory things, keyboard, mouse, VGA adapter, and other stuff. I can hardly wait to get home and hook it up! Hopefully I’ll get the couch from Jason this weekend, and I’ll be able to make a nice little gaming area in my room. Just need to get a better TV (perhaps a 20” Sony WEGA?)
Lots of stuff happened since my last post, but nothing to terribly impressive. Jason and I went down to see Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust last Thursday. It was the last night it was playing in Cambridge. I think it’s a great film, the animation is great, and the story is cool. Gothic space rockets are odd looking though. We also saw 13 Ghosts on the Saturday before that (Derrick ditched game night again, suprise.) It was pretty neat, but not terribly scary.
Andrea and I spent some time together on Saturday before Game Night, and we spent most of Saturday together. We had dinner at her grandparents’ house, tasty chili and cornbread (I love cornbread, it’s so very tasty.) After that we went to her apartment and played a couple hands of Uno and a game of Trivial Pursuit. I thought I sucked at Trivial Pursuit, but I ended up winning. 
Work is going pretty well. The USB modem appears to be working fine, with both FreeBSD and NetBSD. Now I just need to get speech synthesis working right. Had some trouble getting the USB camera to work under NetBSD though, but it turned out it was just because isocronous transfers wern’t available in the version of the ugen driver I had. All fixed now.
Andrea’s birthday is this Friday, and I hope I’ll be able to get at least half the day off to be with her. It’s looking like we’ll have a demo at work that same day though.
