athenaktt - mailed out that package to you today. Should be 2 or 3 days they say :D

Work was... well... it was there. I putzed around a lot today. Erm. But I did get actual work done! I even managed to clean my desk and stuff of all the crap that has been falling from the ceiling because they're redoing the roof. Ew.

What was up with the crazy rain/sleet today? Eesh.

I think right now I'm going to change in to some warm clothes and be a lump on the couch and watch TV until Battlestar is on. Wooohoo! Tomorrow I'm going to try and get some artwork printed. Hrm. I'm a bit skeptical of the new printer downstairs, but since I haven't gotten off my ass to buy new cartidges for mine... *shrug*

The second part of the Hewlett interview is up at SG1Archive. Even after all the bullshit at his forum, I still really do love the guy. Read the whole thing, but the parts I especially loved were two bits referring to the forum and one rlated to general geekery:

DH: I'm curious because we have a forum on the A Dog's Breakfast site and I chose originally not to moderate it cause I felt like people should say what they want to say. But something that I've learned in reading a lot of the posts, its not just about letting people say things but keeping things on track.

L: Our moderators, they do a good job. If there's for example, more adult content there has to be warnings. On the ADB forum, some of us saw the uh... picture posts.

DH: I haven't seen that. Is there stuff I should be worried about?

L: Oh, just people were posting pictures from scenes in movies you had been in and others were saying "Oh you shouldn't post those, it's his forum."

A: They were ones where you weren't wearing a lot of clothes... I don't know if that rings a bell.

DH: Oh it was the Century Hotel stuff probably. Actually I did that film because nudity absolutely terrifies me. Not terrifying, that's a strong world. But the idea of waking up and finding yourself naked in a room full of people. With Century Hotel, it also dealt with homosexuality. And as an actor you sort of go, "What are you willing to do?" Cause as an actor you play all different sorts of roles. Is it your job to make a comment about people's lifestyle? Again, I've played some horrible characters and I felt like I got away with not doing a scene where I felt uncomfortable. It was one of those films I went, "I should do this," because this is one of those great experiments where you go, "Let me see if I can sell this." That was the neat thing about Century Hotel. What of course you don't consider at that point is that people are going to capture it. Why they'd want to, I don't know. [..snip..] But it's funny, Century Hotel, a part of me that goes, "I kinda wish I hadn't done that," cause I wish there wasn't those video captures all over the place. But at the same time you go, "Well that's part of the job, it comes with the territory."

And of course:

DH: I used to program in C and Java and Basic way back but I love that stuff and then got into HTML and Python and Perl and I knew all that stuff.

Oh! And this little bit:

DH: It's this tiny little Toyota Echo. It was the only car i could afford when we were living in LA. Down there, we didn't have any money. It was the cheapest car you could buy. And my dad even helped me out buying it. I've never been a big fan of cars, it gets me from A to B, that's all I care about. As long as it's got a radio. Jane however just got a new car.

L: Ah, so Jane likes the new toys.

DH: Yes, Jane likes her cars. She's got a VW but it runs on bio-diesel so its practically running on french fries.

And now a meme, nicked from thebigfatman

It really was. They seem to be down to earth about it. Which is good because they don't have to be. Maybe it's just an SGA cast thing? At DC, the cast were open too.
