The Banoffee Connection

My follow up tribute to Banoffee, the current star of my dessert list and possible ventures into movies.

Possible movies to be made: The Banoffee Identity, The Banoffee Supremacy, The Banoffee Ultimatum, Banoffee Begins, Revenge of Banoffee, Banoffee of Brothers, Banoffee Jones’ Diary, My Sassy Banoffee.

Possible movie quote that got axed:
Darth Vader: Luke, I ate your banoffee….
Luke: Nooooooooooooooooooo

ID4: Today, we celebrate our independence day…with banoffee for dessert

Morpheus: You have a choice Neo. You take the banoffee, and you never have to worry about anything but sinful dessert. You take the red pill, and I’ll show you how mass orgies in Zeon are like.

i’ve promised myself that i’d work only from 8 to 5. within those nine hours, work is top priority. this restriction was placed upon myself in order to save my sanity.

doesn’t seem to be working though.

this self-imposed rule may have given me more hours to do other things, but even now as i sit at home in front of my pc, i still feel there are many things that could’ve gone better. many things that i could’ve planned properly. many things that i didn’t have to promise. many things that i shouldn’t need to think about.

i can’t make everyone happy. i am only one person. i must request for assistance. and i have.

and it comes in the form of an assistant.

an assistant who can’t do programming.
an assistant who doesn’t like to do programming.
an assistant older than me.

and i have no right to complain, it seems. i’m not even supposed to do programming. i’m supposed to rely on the understaffed pool of programmers.

and there aren’t any young ‘uns available, after all.

it’s time to be more assertive.
it’s time to forget about respecting the elderly.
it’s time to delegate.
it’s time to learn to say no.

it’s time to become a manager. without the extra fringe benefits.

my life as usual:

work at full throttle. only effective 8 to 5.

games! shadows of rome on hold. begin neverwinter nights: shadows of undrentide. not to forget, the party of 3:
- Avalynn Stormcrow (that’s me! :D). Sorceror.
- Zeke Raynor (JL). Fighter.
- Luthien Tinuvel (kittenz). Ranger.

mandarin class! aaaa homework!

and other people’s weddings. bleh.

for the glory of neverwinter!

server is up! if you can read this blog, then you can connect to the server as well. :)
port is 5121.

you might want to read this.

i have to warn you though… i’m downloading a huge amount of stuff at the moment. and it seems modules are loaded from the server. hmm.. see how lah.

ps: actually, it’s on the way up. i haven’t setup the proper port forwardings. kinda downloading some juicy items which must not be interupted. :D
