I’d had a kernel update, but hadn’t enabled Sun’s Virtualbox repos, so VB didn’t automatically update with the kernel. I forgot about it until I tried to use it, and it said it needed to be updated. Dutifully, I followed the instructions and went to the download page, but for some reason, it would give […]

Shiny new, all updated to the latest firmware and newly freed from its prison! 🙂 I was even able to reuse the Gelaskin, though I did put on a new screen protector because those don’t take too well to re-application. Blogged from my iPhone. Hehe.

…because it amuses me. Normally, I don’t pay too much attention to these things because for the most part, they’re kinda lame, but the expression on this guy’s face just fucking cracks me up. 😆 Oh yeah…I need to remember to ask L. about the Uillean pipes. 😛

Who writes this shite, and how do I manage to keep running into it in spite of my best efforts? For every girl who is tired of acting weak when she is strong, there is a boy tired of appearing strong when he feels vulnerable. Pardon me while I puke on my fuzzy pink bear […]

I’ve always loved the way the window focus (in Gnome, at least–don’t remember KDE) seemed to “kinda follow” the mouse pointer. It doesn’t change window focus, but if I mouse over to another window to do something, I don’t have to click once to get focus, and then again to do whatever it was that […]

If you don’t know the difference between “then” and “than”, I’m going to stop reading as soon as you use the wrong one. I don’t care if you wrote the modern incarnation of The Brothers Karamazov, I don’t care whether it’s otherwise interesting or enjoyable to read, and I don’t care if you help little […]

I was actually fussing with sounds yesterday because I’d finally set up my voice mail (under duress–I don’t like voice mail), and didn’t like the notification sound. Turns out that the only options for the sound are “on” or “off”, but since I was in there anyway, I changed the sound for new text because […]

I wonder whether I’d be accurate enough with a pellet gun to take out the wires on an entire neighbourhood’s worth of cheap-ass wind chimes. Why the hell does everyone have those goddamned things hanging off the front porch? They can’t hear them inside their houses, and the only time they go outside is either […]

After I’d missed two calls (one long distance and semi-important) on Saturday because it was windy and I didn’t hear the first couple of rings, then couldn’t get the goddamned phone out of my pocket fast enough (more to the point, couldn’t remember which pocket it was in amongst the nineteen layers of clothing I […]
