Today's return to classes ushered in a return to normalcy, but what's more, I feel like I have actual content to my life once again. This is a good thing.

Something needs to be cleared up. Not really for you, for me. If I do this, maybe I can stick to what I say. Or maybe I'll ignore it.

I've been having a hell of a time trying to get 0 pixels to render as 0 pixels in Internet explorer. I've already given up trying to get 100% to render as 100%; obviously, that's a lost cause.

Apparently, someone who might be higher on the deity scale than myself has agreed with me with this quick scrawling. I'm glad to know that the movement is catching on.

Otherwise known as "Throw this man some english." Sometimes, its sad how our grammar can slip into such a state of ruin through daily use of the common vernacular. How can we stop this shit, yo? Its a problem that runs rampant in our society.

Some guy kidnapped his neighbours daughter, raped her, video taped it, killed her, and was found guilty of 1st degree murder. It took the jury 10 days to decide if he was guilty or not; I wonder if he will be alive by the time I know the answers to all of my own problems. The republican trash that ran the Florida election recounts is trying to get into congress. I wonder how many people she slept with to get where she is today.

I needn't remind you of my little rivalry with one Jeremy Mikola, but I will, and i'll like it. (shoutouts to fflogam!) This tiny post is simply relating to that. I hope you have fun with the identical source code!

I guess pine isn't that bad. I just tried comparrison carts at DVD price search and I must say they are so easy to use, done so well, and so damned good, that there's never any reason to ever use any other site again. DVD price search, you rock my world.

I just had the priviledge, and indeed, for the first time perhaps, I've considered viewing an anime a priviledge, of watching the 25th episode of Mugen No Ryvius (Infinite Ryvius). Ho-lee shit.

I was lookin through some of Lorde Omlette's code today, seeing about porting his rdf fetcher to linux. The code is heavy on the system calls, and heavy on the being in C#, a language I've never really read anything about. It seems easy enough to read; not much different from C actually, but I couldn't make my way through the fn calls to even start to think about porting it. I think I might end up making a clone instead; It'd be easier. Hell, I could make a script in about 15 minutes that would accomplish the same (good old Linux and all of its nifty cmd line tools; wget and diff), but I think I'm going to use this agenda to learn a little about QT. I think I might change the tool too, to be more useful (boyaw!) and check more than rdf files; but this in itself might be misleading. I'll have to test various implementations first, and see what works.

Really.. what is there to say? I'm saddened by the loss of someone that I had fun with. I'm not going to blow anything out of proportion or anything: He definitely wasn't the greatest guy I ever met, and he wasn't my best friend for any period of time. By the same token, he wasn't merely an acquaintance; I knew him well enough, and saw him with a frequency that I think warrants my level of shock and sadness.

from slashdot, article here:

A truly great quote gives rise to the inspiration to actually write an update with all of the crap that I've read about or done in the past few days. First, the quote..

Actually, the screens and official site call the game Unlimited Saga, but I don't really believe them. Its Seiken Densetsu Saga, or Unlimited Densetsu 5, or something. Anyway, its pretty, and I want to play it now.

Cleaning long and hard after I beat final fantasy I. Funny story, that was entertaining. Final Fantasy marathon part II: Final Fantasy II starts tomorow I guess.. although, it tried to start today.
