Unless I’ve completely fucked up auto-mounting (I did fuck up permissions and accidentally deleted a mountpoint somehow, but fixed those), then I have successfully formatted /dev/hdb1 from NTFS, which it was back when I still used XP without being forced and needed access to my photos, to ext3, which should be faster access. Write speed […]
Oh my fuckin’ nerves, that man is gonna drive me entirely batshit! Yes, I was logged into Flickr last night; I hadn’t been there since Christ was a cowboy, and it’s rude to ignore questions that people have asked, plus I like to thank people for their comments, and go visit their streams. Yes, I […]
I wouldn’t say I was exactly a “fan” of the show, but I did occasionally watch Sliders back in the mid-90s. The premise of travelling across parallel worlds interested me, the acting wasn’t too bad, and I think the show actually might have been the first time I ever heard a reference to string theory. […]
I haven’t seen this in years! I loved The Carol Burnett Show, and of all the characters, they were my favourites. I always hoped an episode would have either Mr. Tudball or Mama, and was disappointed if they didn’t. I used to do impressions of Mrs. Wiggins, Mr. Tudball and Mama for Marina. Still do […]

Never mind fixing stupid humans with brain injuries–there are already too many humans on earth. Perfect this technology so I can have my own neural net AI! I’d give it a name, probably George, and teach it how to do stuff I don’t want to do. 😀
I just had what is definitely in the running for World’s Worst Blueberry Muffin. I like muffins…they’re lovely for brunch with fresh coffee. Too bad I can’t seem to find them. A muffin does not: – have a peak or cracks on top (oven too hot during baking) – have “air tunnels” inside (too much […]
As an amateur basement chemist: Any more it is near impossible to talk about about chemistry in any public place because everybody thinks you are trying to build bombs. Yes, bombs are fun, but there is cooler stuff out there. Case and Point: Friends and I are talking about distilling Moonshine out of Mash using […]
Jesus Christ, man. You insist upon that “medium thumbnails” presentation, so just five images on your front page, and four of them are the same goddamned cat. I may not get out much, but at least I don’t torture viewers with 80% cat photos. Here is the cat, sleeping. Here is the cat, not sleeping. […]
Brick House. Heh. The drunker I get, the better I like it. 😀
