Print iconDrop zone

Saturday, August 9th, 2003

Been extremely butterfingery over the past month or so. Dropped stuff too many times to be just random occurances. Something is wrong with my psychomotor skills. Here are some stats:
Object - Times Dropped - Current State
Laptop - 3 - Functional, with seemingly minor hints of structural damage
Camera - 1 - Functional
Primary pair of glasses - [...]

Print iconHAVE to have

Friday, August 8th, 2003

this book. I read portions of it at Amazon and boy does it seem dead on.
“Just being around people can be overstimulating to introverts. Their energy is drained in crowds, classes, or any noisy and invasive environment. They may like people very much, but after talking to anyone, they usually begin to feel the need [...]

Print iconMinor site changes

Friday, August 8th, 2003

Removed some of the “ad-style” linkage. Removed the 3Dwm link and moved it to the links page as it had nothing to do with anything apart from being a cool concept. Removed the Ximian desktop link because they were bought over by Novell and I don’t like that. Why? Just doesn’t feel right.
Sonique was bought, [...]

Print iconLife is Beautiful

Friday, August 8th, 2003

I just finished seeing Life is Beautiful (the English dub). I was happy. It started of funny, I got happier. I laughed. It then got a whole lot more depressing, fast. Now I am in tears :(.
Such things shouldn’t be affecting me. I am me. (Sniff Sniff..)
I mean, (since it was set in Germany, and [...]

Guess who got selected to be a TA, also.

Print iconAll groggy today morning

Thursday, August 7th, 2003

But it is so worth it. Was on the phone all night long :D. God, I haven’t done that in so long, and it felt so good.
Really really.
Also, I never realized, like, I use the word like so frequently while I talk. But none of that really matters now does it?

Print iconA cheap imitation of the Albuquerque.triplog

Thursday, August 7th, 2003

I maintained a thought log of events in Florida, thinking that I will get back and eventually update my blog. Didn’t happen. The end result, 3 months from now I would have forgotten where all I went, or what I did. And in 6, that I even went.
I will NOT let the same thing to [...]

Print iconAlbuquerque pictures

Tuesday, August 5th, 2003

Back from another trip to a conference at Albuquerque, New Mexico. A few pictures are in the usual place. Working on the site a bit more. Tidying up the blog and released a yearly report since the site is about a year old :D.

Print iconIt’s been a year

Tuesday, August 5th, 2003

It’s been a year or so since I’ve been here. Actually, it will be a year in about a week, but that’s not terribly important. The site’s come a long way since it’s inception, and I decided to document some progress. Nothing major, just this report which has some details.
There’s a lot of stuff to [...]

Print iconPermalinks

Tuesday, August 5th, 2003

When this all began a long long time ago, I didn’t expect my posts to need individual, unique URLs. But strangely enough, now they do, because posts from the outside started linking to them for some strange reason. Anyway, some PHP voodoo minutes later, here they are.
Now to fix bloogle, the non-functional, space occupying pretty [...]

Print iconPopups.. getting good

Monday, August 4th, 2003

Here I am, the dude who felt he’d achieved software nirvana by going all free software, happily browsing (tralla llalaa laa) in my relative’s place (on a fully non-free software box). You’ve got to see where I’m coming from. The browser I normally use hasn’t offered me a popup in like three years or something. [...]

Print iconI want it, just what is it?

Sunday, August 3rd, 2003

I start typing this not knowing whether it’ll end up as a blog entry, an article once a place is made for such stuff on the rest of the site, a mail to someone who’d bother to read it, or all, which is most likely. I’d like to think of it as a rough draft [...]

Print iconBlog/Journal Names

Sunday, August 3rd, 2003

It’s very late. I’ve been clearing up some old files on my computer and see what I’ve run into :D, a file containing all the blog names I had contemplated before deciding on actuality.log. Why am I releasing this? No reason, except, when I see one later with a name on this list, I can [...]
