Sure, I like it when a photo makes Flickr’s Explore, but I’m not rabid about it, and I don’t check Scout every time I upload new stuff to see whether anything made it. It’s an interesting curiosity, that’s all. There are people who seem to think it’s some sort of “badge of honour” or that […]

For reasons known only to the program, Audacious didn’t feel like opening FLAC files this morning. I suppose it might have been the Icelandic file names, or some setting I forgot to change because I never use Audacious, but…whatever. I don’t care because CLI can batch process, which is faster. When I forget…I need lame […]

Hahahaha! Aaaahahaha! *gasp* Hahahaha! 😆 I love you, Tina Fey!

Yeah, again. I sort of dimly recall having heard good things about “Dust”, a new theme that is (or at least was) in the running to be the default for Intrepid. Intrepid’s out in beta now, and will be released on the 30th of the month, but I hadn’t really paid too much attention. Hardy […]

I found this comment on a CBS video clip during which Katie Couric asked Biden and Palin about Roe v. Wade, and whether or not there were other SCOTUS decisions with which they disagreed. Biden did well, and answered the second question with the fact that he believes (and indeed put it before SCOTUS) that […]

I’d have to get up two hours earlier every day if I wanted to be any more awesome. 😆 I can’t decide whether this is gaudy or not, and I don’t care if it is because it’s pretty. I have the Emerald theme that goes with it, but can’t be arsed to turn on desktop […]

I don’t know whence comes the quote and even the mighty Google couldn’t find the original source, but… “Never, in the over fifteen hundred years of continual evolution and refinement of the English language, from the barbaric yawps of the Angles and the Jutes to the eloquent farces of Oscar Wilde, has it ever been […]

Once the whole file is loaded on the browser, look in the root of /tmp for the file with the funky gibberish name (j-whatever, usually). Copy that somewhere, then give it an FLV extension. Terminal command: mplayer -dumpaudio foo.flv -dumpfile foo.mp3 To check quality, it’s file foo.mp3 (I didn’t specify, but mine came out as […]

Please let even half of this be true. Hell, I’d settle for a third; that would still be a vast improvement. Please let this man get elected in spite of the right-wing idiots who’ll see, “Viet Nam war veteran gook-killer! USA-USA-USA!” and “Creationist, militantly pro-life hockey mom, former Miss Congeniality who believes Jesus will return […]

I won’t remember what I posted, but I half-watched almost half an hour of that shite, waiting for How It’s Made. It’s here so if that happens again, I will think of new insults instead of repeating myself. 😉 Google, SmashLab sucks, etc.. Inane “challenges”, idiotic and overly complicated “solutions”, incredibly annoying hosts with zero […]
