Ok, it got old...

Yeah, yeah I should have known better than to think
MegaMan Effect wouldn't get old pretty quick. Anyway,
it did just moments ago, and sadly I killed it.
Quitting it just wouldn't have given me the same
amount of satisfaction. I went in terminal, tracked
down it's pid via the top command, and
entered the friendly sequence kill 2545 and
poof! MegaMan Effect was no more! So sad.
In utterly unrelated news, today I went and picked up Ninety-Nine-Nights only moments after it arrived at the local Electronics Boutique. Literally. No joking even. I got there early to beat the crowds at the mall (as is my custom) but was foiled again as I had arrived under false pretenses (as is also my custom it seems). I had apparently arrived but an hour too soon. the man behind the counter assured me, that was the one thing that hadn't yet arrived, but would most likely do so within the hour. So I had an hour to kill at the mall. Tried to call my mom, phone was dead (wish I had a solar backpack). So I go over to the pay phone where a strange man talks to someone in what sounds like french. The damn thing ate $1.50 before I gave up, assuring me again and again all I needed to do was to drop in another fifty cents and my call would go through... urgh... finally did find a phone that worked outside where a man persisted to try and sell me some kind of cell phone accessory.
Later though, whilst "killing time" I found myself at the UTC Apple Computer retail store, playing an assortment of ipod solitaire and Big Bang Chess. During this time I became curious as to the nature of the application Apple uses to display those funny buttons on the desktop of their computers. In case you are not aware, they have these five or so buttons back the for things like concierge and and sign up now! And what have you... I became curious to the point I tracked down the application with the aforementioned top command (adding the -u flag for flavor). Then, having isolated it's name found it's home in the library with a timely use of our friend Mr. SpotLight. (for users of the PeeCee, SpotLight is Apple's fantastic integrated search technology.) Whipped out my Swiss Army Knife (with USB flash drive), and downloaded the app.
I can't think of any practical use for it, but I'll make it available for download.
And last but not least, when I got home with Ninety-Nine-Nights in hand, I logged it into my library immediately. (had to give the linkage props to them too)
Neways... I've got some evil something-or-others to slay... catch ya next time folks!
