The cleanup and mapping of the disaster zone (a.k.a. the computer room) continues. The problem is that I’ve begun to go so far in time that my memory is useless in understanding why the items I found have been retained. In other words, the process is becoming less and less “cleaning” and more and more “archeology.” I don’t need Tupperware and a duster, I need an SG team and Dr. Jackson.
The list of things to do is also growing. Which is disturbing– did everything wait until I was solving problems to jump me? The pocket universe problem is becoming more severe, too. At this point, the only hope is if the Fringe Division seals the problem from their side…*
In short,not much for the next few days, but here’s something to help you waste your time.
*Why, yes, I watched the season finale.

Sounds like you have the same problems I have with my offices (work and home)…
Boxes of odds and ends that “I might need later”…
Crap I haven’t even looked at in 7 or 8 years.
But… every once in a while someone come up and asks if I have, say, a Type-1 token ring MAU reset device.
(And I do. And I know where it is…)
The Space Game reminds me a little of the the old pencil-and-paper RPG Traveller by GDW.

I actually donated all of my old odds and ends to my mentor. She has a warehouse for storage and interns for sorting. The first step to solving a problem is *delegation*!” (chuckle)

Did that show get any better as it progressed? We watched the first few episodes, and were generally unimpressed with the way it came off as “X-Files on crack”.
Could just be us, though

It’s gotten pretty decent, actually. Of course, I never watched the X-Files… (chuckle) Not to give anything away, but it turns out that Walter and Peter are the cause of everything going wrong in the series. And Leonard Nimoy comes in as a badass.
“I pulled you out of a moving car. Momentum can be deferred, but it must always be paid back, in full… as I once said to Walter, physics is a b*tch.”

OK, were you sucked by one of those pockets? You’ve been gone for 48 hours!
