I know that there are 4.5 hours until the new year first strikes the USA, but since I've already started my celebrations I wanted to say "happy new year" while I still can.
I've cracked open a bottle of wine that a former co-worker had left, and while the former co-worker wasn't the greatest of co-workers and left on a relatively nasty event, the bottle of wine he gave me is damned good! It's a VERY dry red wine and I usually can't stand red wine. I really love this stuff. I'm now cooking up some Italian bread with garlic, sage, oregano, olive oil, and fresh chunks of parmesean cheese. (Freshly purchased from the market at Grand Central a few weeks ago. Nice hard chunks of greatly aged cheese).
Also, today I finally decided I couldn't hold out any longer and finished routing out the holes for my joysticks and I test mounted them. They fit snugly and nicely. The jig I made worked wonders, even if it was about 1/8" too big. That leaves some nice room for the joystick bases and the bolt holes lined up great and will snugly hold this in place. I even recessed it deep enough to allow a thin bolt head (1/16" maybe?) to fit in and be flush with the top. I'm hoping they make bolts with heads like screws. Nice and flat and not raised too much.
So for those of you, like myself, who are spending new years alone, just think back to what makes 2007 so good and why we should be happy to see 2008. We are all here because of our love for arcades and arcade machines, so even if you're spending New Year's Eve alone, remember that it's only one day out of the year. As long as your pretty inebriated, like me, you won't care anyway.
