I don’t fuss with my hair. There was a time when I did, but I was in my 20s then, so what did I know? It’s still curly because that’s how I was born, and it’s still long because that makes gravity do most of the work of controlling The ‘Fro. I wash it when […]
Aw, not this shit again! I think it was last…September or October of last year before our sites got hit with that stupid injected code, but I know there were people getting hit with it as far back as August. AFAIK, it’s not exactly “malicious”, as in “will email goatse to your boss, cause your […]
A sunny Friday when it’s just a bit too cold to want to roam outside, but the only real “work” I have to do today is a few water changes and fixing the space bar on a laptop that’s popped its clip. I’m sitting here at my desk, looking across the room at my laptop, […]
First Firefox, then Safari, and now Epiphany. I was looking through the Gnome 2.2.6 release notes, since I think that’s what’s going to be in Jaunty when it’s released next month, and found this: Imagine my joy. What’s next–a “not so awesome” bar in Lynx, FFS? Hell, for all I know, IE 8 has something […]
Well, it’s early spring once again, and maybe this year, I’ll actually get around to doing it. “It” would be a wildflower garden. Just a small one for now–enough to attract a few insects, hopefully including butterflies–but I think this might actually be the year! I considered it in 2007, but decided it was probably […]
No joy yet in getting Safari to run under Wine on Ubuntu, but I think I’m getting somewhere because it does at least try to start, which it didn’t with a default install. I’ll have to poke around a bit and maybe copy some of the folders from my Windows install to the .wine folder; […]
Well, I think it will be, at least. I was wrong about my day–it did get better. Last night, I fell asleep watching Mythbusters. Woke up at 0100h with a headache so bad I couldn’t even lift my head, let alone get up. Fell back to sleep until 0200h, woke up again and my head […]
When I woke up this morning, a copy of this clipped from the newspaper was scotch-taped to my monitor. Gee, I wonder what he was trying to say? Is it pathetic that if I look down toward the top of my desk, B. says, “Leave your iPhone alone and talk to me!”…and I feel a […]
I had sent P. a link to the NYT article with instructions for making a cholesterol nightmare called the “Bacon Explosion”. Two pounds of bacon, woven around and put inside two pounds of Italian sausage, seasoned with barbecue sauce. He’s 100% carnivore and thinks that fat and meat are two of the four official food […]
I prefer dark themes because light ones are like staring into the sun, but since the vast majority of dark themes are created by guys, and guys tend not to be serious fans of pink (even when they make pink themes for their girlfriends, they’re always light), I customised my own. It completely lacks any […]
