I feel like I have a terrible cold. Why is that a good thing? Well, for the past three days, I’ve felt like I’d rather be dead. Flu SUCKS, but I’m not fever-delirious anymore, so I’ll take it! 😉 I knew there was a reason I liked that Florence Valentin song. Pokerkväll i VÃ¥rby GÃ¥rd […]

There’s a PP presentation circulating around the net; a collection of pictures with a story about some Australian fisherman who saved the life of a female great white shark, and now “Cindy” (I am not making that up) follows him around everywhere, allowing herself to be petted and scratched on the tummy like some cute […]

I’d never bothered much with VNC before because…well, because I didn’t need it. This morning, though, I got bored and decided to see whether I could control my laptop with the desktop and vice-versa, and it works fine. Now, I can share files between them because I have Samba working, and I can control both […]

I haven’t thought about ReactOS for quite some time. When I first read about it, I got a demo (CD or something?) and ran it just to see what it was about. It didn’t look exciting–basically looked like ugly old Windows classic–but that’s because it’s not supposed to be about looks, it’s supposed to be […]

I happened across this picture in a GIS for something else (a Malawi cichlid). I looked at it and thought, “WTF?” so I went to the original page, where I discovered a creationist’s blog. The author was using this image as evidence that evolution is false, since these fish from Malawi and Tanganyika are so […]

I am constructed of 100% pure, unadulterated geek-awesome! Okay, so it was pretty easy, but I am nonetheless using dual LCD monitors under X, and I did it without fucking anything up, which is worth something. At least I don’t think anything is fucked up; I’ve restarted X only once since I wrote the changes […]

To get the fortune in a terminal like Mint, except in red….obviously, install fortune, then add this to the end of .bashrc echo -ne ‘\033[01;31m’; fortune; echo -ne ‘\033[00m’

So frantically cheerful that I just couldn’t help but liberate it. 🙂 For a guy who looks like a dangerous escaped criminal, J. is an awfully nice man and a talker on par with me (world class). I met his brother, too, and that was also interesting because judging from the front view, I fully […]

Me: I’m not a real person, you know. I’m actually a bot, and not only do I scan the entire contents of your hard drive, I also log into any accounts you may have online and scan the contents, plus I control remote wireless cameras to monitor you. Did I somehow forget to mention all […]

P. read in the paper that Matt got arrested, charged with whatever may be the official equivalent of intent to manufacture methamphetamine. He and another guy whose name we didn’t recognise were noticed “behaving suspiciously” when purchasing pseudoephedrine from a drugstore. The pharmacist called the cops, who then followed them to (I believe) two more […]
