Several have asked, so here is what I sleeved up for yesterday’s PTQ, a GW Stompy deck designed by Adrian Sullivan:
4 Wild Nacatl
4 Vinelasher Kudzu
4 Gaddock Teeg
4 Troll Ascetic
4 Reliquary Knight
3 Tarmogoyf
3 Eternal Witness
2 Steelshaper’s Gift
1 O-Naginata
1 Lightning Greaves
1 Sword of Light and Shadow
2 Sword of Fire and Ice
2 Umezawa’s Jitte
1 Worship
4 Chrome Mox
4 Wooded Footfills
4 Windswept Heath
3 Temple Garden
1 Sacred Foundry
1 Stomping Ground
2 Forest
1 Plains
3 Treetop Village
1 Dryad Arbor
Side:
2 Worship
3 Gilded Light
3 Krosan Grip
4 Kitchen Finks
3 Volcanic Fallout
And after getting my face stomped in by Affinity twice, I have decided to sleeve this up for the second PTQ:
4 Wild Nacatl
4 Vinelasher Kudzu
4 Kitchen Finks
4 Troll Ascetic
4 Reliquary Knight
3 Tarmogoyf
3 Eternal Witness
2 Steelshaper’s Gift
1 O-Naginata
2 Sword of Fire and Ice
2 Umezawa’s Jitte
3 Worship
4 Chrome Mox
4 Wooded Footfills
4 Windswept Heath
3 Temple Garden
1 Sacred Foundry
2 Stomping Ground
2 Forest
1 Plains
3 Treetop Village
Side:
3 Gaddock Teeg
3 Gilded Light
3 Krosan Grip
3 Volcanic Fallout
3 Kataki, War’s Wage
I’m currently 2-0 after defeating Mono Red and TEPS in Round 2. Funnest play so far: Turn 1 Chrome Mox imprinting Vinelasher, play Wild Nacatl and then drop Sacred Foundry. First turn 3/3? Woohoo 
We’ll see how the rest of the day goes…

This looks absolutely hilarious. I know they ruin the best jokes in the trailer, but damn. How can you not love this?

Here is a wonderful poster created by Jouni Kopenen that illustrates Neil Gaiman’s poem “The Day the Saucers Came”. Check out the cool Flash version of this poster as well.
I love it. Found here, which was linked through this metafilter post. Go, go power hyperlinks!

You ever run upon a fix that you can’t really figure out where it should go, but you know it’s important and you’ll probably need to reference it in the future? Simply contribute the power of Google, of course!
This blog post is for those OSX Server administrators (OSX Leopard Server, 10.5.6 to be specific) who have Windows machines on their network but for some reason simply can’t get them to join the domain. It appears they join via the logs, and it adds a computer/machine record in Workgroup Manager…but it gives Vista an error.
The problem is with the default Security Policy in Windows Vista. Here’s how you join a Windows Vista machine to an OSX Server Open Directory / SMB Server. Perform the following on all Vista client machines you need added to the domain:
- Click Start.
- Type secpol.msc in the search box and press Enter.
- Windows Vista will display a warning message; click Continue.
- Windows Vista’s Local Security Policy console will appear. Highlight Local Policies.
- Double-click Security Options.
- Scroll down to the Network Security: LAN Manager Authentication Level policy entry and double-click it.
- Change the value from the default setting of Send NTLMv2 Response Only to Send LM & NTLM — Use NTLMv2 Session Security If Negotiated, then click OK.
- Close the Local Security Policy console.
After this is done, you don’t even need to reboot. Simply try and join the domain again and it will automagically work!
I hope this helps, particularly those who stumbled their way here via the Great Goog. This solution was originally found here.

Yup, your daily dose of Christian ridiculousness.

I can’t sleep, so I took the logic test. I scored 15/15, woo. Maybe you can too…kinda thought they were obvious, however.

While I certainly don’t believe in the Christmas Story ™, I do believe that Christmas is important culturally and very much important for children.
That said, Merry Xmas to you and yours, I hope everyone has a kick ass holiday. I know I am…
Also, this cracked me the hell up (per webilicious):

Not to be all arty today, but here’s another neato thing that struck my fancy. A really cool twist on some old favorites…specifically when those old favorite cartoon characters bite the dust…splatter style.
My favorite:
