Things Looking Up

Ok, I'm about to hit the two-year mark at this job. I got a promotion last week, and today I found out that our manager got approval for new computers. I'll be looking out for anvils falling from the sky for a while. In the 70 degree weather.

Other items:

1. There's a woot-off happening right now if you're into that sort of thing.

2. There's a brand new version of FireFox available now. I've been using it for a few days and I love it. If you were using it before, I think you'll love the simpler, speedier FF. If you haven't made the switch, this is the most compelling reason yet. You simply cannot do the same stuff on IE that you can with FF.

3. If you ever played a first person shooter (Doom, Quake, Unreal, etc.) PC game before, I highly recommend downloading and trying Team Fortress 2 this weekend. Starting at 11 am tomorrow (Friday), Valve opens the floodgates for a free weekend of TF2 - perfect opportunity to try it. I have to say - this is my favorite game to date, and that's saying something.

(For the initiated - the free weekend is in conjunction with new pyro weapons and content being added to the game.)
