I've been doing okay with the aliens. I can usually kill them before they eat my fish. Haven't learned how to control where they go yet, though.
http://koti.mbnet.fi/bttrack/Shinsen/ - Shinsen is good, I get them over Fork. There are about 950 seeders so it should take you no time to download this.
OK, thanks, I'll keep a lookout for the movie.
Time to hit the sack, good night, everyone.

No, I had to watch a server upgrade so I'd know what to do next time. Big difference. One, the responsibility wasn't mine. Two, it was even more boring than doing it myself.
I'm happy about this so far. I'm the first girl to get assigned this job. You should have seen the guys nonchalantly hauling boxes and stuff out of the office! The one guy is even going to loan me Eva, how cool is that? I got invited to the college anime club, a low-stakes poker game, asked by a girl who oddly reminds me of one of my online friends to consider helping arrange a "Friday-night-at-the-department-Japanese-movie-lock-in"... and we had a long discussion about just what kind of speeds you can get with anime downloads when you've got a whole department's resources on your hands (and how you can call it a research project!)
Yes, I got the link, but haven't had the chance to look it over in detail. Thanks much, Osage.
OK, good night everyone.
Wherever you click they will move the opposite direction.
Great, G'nite Sam.
G'nite HH.
G'night, Sam! Give my regards to Mrs Cree.
What kind of server, and what kind of upgrade?
"An Analysis of IP Packet Routing and its Effect on Large File Transfers"
Windows box being upgraded to 2003. They have mostly Unix machines, but there are two windows servers and about... two hundred Windows machines. Those will be my area of responsibility.
The upgrade went smoothly. We walked down to a sandwich joint while it was installing and had a nice little supper. It was a lovely evening here in Colorado...
What is this new devilry? And how far do I have to go to win?
Have a good night, Sam!
Once you get the the redundant "time tests", I figger that's when you've won.
The egg pieces get up to $10k each, IIRC. And once you've won that and have 10 pets, you've defeated it.
The downloadable version is in the works and that should be a lot more fun!! I heard they've created an angelfish that brings your dead fish back to life and a shark that eats aliens, but he also eats your fish.
That'd be pretty cool if you can download anime and call it work :)
What's "Eva" again?
Hopefully the server stuff will get more interesting after they give you more responsibility, which I imagine will come pretty soon after they see how fast you learn.
Okay, well that's all I can do tonite. I'll never get to the gym in the a.m. if I don't get to sleep.
I got to level five and it tricked me with two aliens...
I read that, but I can't actually do it yet :)
