Wow, the rough winter continues around these parts pretty relentlessly. We had freezing rain all day yesterday leading to slush all over the place this morning, as I hear reports about the "big storm" that will follow. I have actually used up a shovel this year, as the plastic edge on the shovel I use has been worn down to the point where the shovel is a couple of inches shorter now than when it was brand new!

Today is the 14th anniversary of the release of Qtest. I'll use the Quake Marine model in QUAKE LIVE today in honor of that.
