he phrase come sweet death was never such a misnomer. For some reason, I can't find my MSI and Rage Against the Machine cd's, so at work I've been listening to Evangelion OST's that I leave there just in case. Angel's Attack! is great bugfix music.
Why is everyones little website backend called ".X"? I'm getting annoyed of the high five being paid to Microsoft on this one, and I for one am tired of it. .Deus is no more, I'm renaming whatever it is I did to Deus 2003. Lets see Microsoft do that.
I've recently (tonight) installed a special slackware "thang" called dropline gnome. Its a gnome/gtk 2.0 install that uses slackware's installpkg to give me some sugary sweet looking desktop candy. All of my fonts are antialiased now, like windows XP only they look clean. I kind of like it.. finaly GTK app's don't look like ass, and it even comes with a version of Mozilla 1.21 that is hacked to use antialiased fonts. Its pretty sweet if you run slackware. I'm going to test it out on JaySlack, or whatever the hell I'll name my silly little slackware cd.
An estute man today thussly described the good reverend's chances at winning his newfound presidential drive. I hope that, despite my skin color being the same as the snowball whose chance in hell i share, I fair a little better in the alpha Sig elections; although as the semester rolls on, I might not even want to run again.
Tonight I took part, as the ass in the equation, of a whole big joke right on me. I don't know why, but for some reason I actually don't like it, and its not really due to the virtue of the joke. I can take jokes pretty well, and I don't hold what people do in jest towards me against them very often. But I still sat here, shocked, not knowing what to do or say for about 2 hours. You could try to ask me how I felt, but I wouldn't tell you the truth; its not because I didn't want to, its because I didn't know what the fuck was going on. Well, I think I might have a better understanding.
About 3 inches above my sock drawer stands the monitor for a machine running Yoper, the hottest new Linux distro since knoppix back in september. Its fully equipped with a school connection and features everything you need to browse the Internet and check your mail, including a news ticker running on the "k bar" in KDE. As soon as we get the coffee maker and hot water heater, room 3 will have its very own Internet cafe. It's already the imdb machine of choice for much of the residency.
It has been brought to my attention by a certain someone that I have not updated in a while. Being one of the few and proud users of propper capitalization, I suppose I should fight the good fight and struggle through this time of the not altogether barren wordscape that grows in the plains of my brain. Its a rich field in there.
Fresh off my install of KDE 3.1 RC5, I've been given a reason to use Linux and a reason to love KDE again. Its not how great keramik combined with everaldo's crystal theme look, or how polished the gray facade of my WM makes the OS as a whole feel; its how open source software makes way for innovations that closed source software simply doesn't allow.
Because a man does not have a webchat, does not make said man less of a man. In fact, since said man is me, I definitely am not lesser for it. Of course, I've wanted to code for a few day's now and have been unable to do so, but I am enjoying myself in my Linux console (mostly because I just broke my KDE install.. but thats another story). In fact, the Linux console is so powerful, that I'm actually amazed. Sit closer, son, and listen to my story.
Unlike others, or even others still, I will decline the opprotunity to do a year in review? Why? Well, first of all, I'm a little "reviewed" out from the semester in review. Second, if you want to see what went on, if you really want to know what happened, you can read the damned archives. And lastly, I am lazy. I mean, its taken me 12 days just to write this. If you want a good year in review, unlike the first two mentioned, you can go here.
