Events! Pictures!

Hey people, long time no see.

Okay, first up is Software Freedom Day at PACS. The NJ LoCo Team helped out the PA Team with this event, and Dave Harding gave the main presentation. Pictures:

The rest are here.

Next up, the NJ LoCo Team was at the Columbus Farmer’s Market on Saturday. Farmer’s Market, you say? Well, we certainly talked to quite a few people who had never heard of Ubuntu (or linux) before, and we gave out at least 30 OpenCDs and 50 Ubuntu CDs (we never seem to count these things).

*thunk*

Well, after a long day of being extremely annoyed with myself for leaving my door unlocked and getting my stuff stolen, a dealing with public safety,

I move the stuff off my bed to go to sleep.

The bag's sitting on my bed.

WTF.

Pete looked through the whole room.
I looked through the whole room.

And it's right. here.

The other 3 thefts in the building today? Complete coincidence. Now I get to go to public safety today to tell them in writing that I'm a moron.

This has been possibly one of the worst weeks ever. Paranoia better make up for it.

Newark = awesome

So, on Sunday, Christina and I stood outside EB Games for Nintendo stuff.
I got:
2 Wiis
3 Controllers
3 Nunchuks
1 Classic Controller
Zelda

1 Wii for me, 1 one for Christina's brothers, Zelda and a controllers for christina. In total, I had:

1 Wii
4 Wiimotes
4 Nunchuks
1 Classic Controller
Wii Sports
Elibits
Warioware

This morning, I left to take a shower; when I came back, the black bag with my Wii stuff was gone. The Wii was there, a wiimote and nunchuk was there, but the bag and its contents were gone. So I'm now down:

3 Wiimotes
3 Nunchuks
Elebits
Wii Sports (Which I can't replace!)

So much for Wii fans being nicer.

I don't want to live here anymore.

Update:

Apparently there was another theft earlier this week, and as I left for night class, a Public Safety officer was headed in to investigate another theft; apparently, a kid fell asleep with his door unlocked, and when he woke up, his laptop was gone.

To put this in perspective: that's 3 thefts this week, and 2 today. My stuff plus the laptop (not even including whatever was stolen earlier this week) puts the total over 1500 dollars. In other words, we have a felon living in my dorm.

Public Safety's response? Take the report, and leave.

Update(3:55AM) I'm a moron.

I looked up the information on University Center (the private dorms across the street): depending on the wording of their pricing, I can either save 2,000 over living on campus, or 4,000 over living on campus. I'll find out from them tomorrow.
