I just realized I’ve been spending waay to much time at the uni. I mean, I’m awake, and I’m here. I go home at 12-1, I sleep. That’s been life for the past few weeks. At least if I was insanely productive and getting stuff done at a pace I’d like, it would be fine, [...]

I’m too tired to do too much more. Just had to, it being International Talk Like a Pirate Day and all.

Things aren’t supposed to be like this. Now I’m all guilty.
I kind of sort of confronted my roommate about the.. noisy breathing. And instead of getting all defensive and “Oh, it’s not something under my immediate control”, he’s all like “Oh, you should have brought it up earlier, how inconsiderate of me, I’ll sleep on [...]

Here they are, my answers to Anita’s interview questions.
ATCGW*!
I have shuffled around their order, roughly in increasing order of how difficult I found thinking about the answers. Yes, stupid as they may sound, I did put in some thought.
1. If you had to switch to a completely different field, one totally unrelated to engineering of [...]

Free Software or not, you know something is not entirely good when it’s abusing system resources. Not entirely good.

Just got back from a party at Aarons. It was good fun. I need to do “stuff”, a bit more often. Anyway, this was more of a gathering of people, I mean, at least, no furniture was broken this time :).
Conversations before this. “Hey her-reesh, you want something specific to eat? You’re vegetarian right?” I [...]

A myriad of small changes forces a version number bump to v0.1.5b. The beta tag remains because many pages are in flux and/or are horribly broken. Frequent updates until a stable release should ensue as it’s falling together in my head.

Not been near my computers for a while. I mean, I have been, but not too much longer than just checking email and that sort of thing. Life moves along just fine, though I’m doing a bit more than I am comfortable doing.
And the really freaky thing is, I am not really getting anything done.
Ahh [...]

Very minor, and some concept trials introduced. Moderately noticeable changes include updates to the favorite pictures page and some alternate about me pages here and here.
What? You feel the new order of pictures feels more colourful? Yes, I do so too.
And while I was going through pictures during this update, I found this.

Plants have GOT [...]

I remember a time when weekends meant no work. I mean literally. Wake whenever, do whatever, overeat, fool around on the computer, watch tv till your eyes burn, listen to music so loud and hard you know you’re inducing deafness, sleep. Lather, rinse, repeat, switching order of activities at will. Actually, come to think of [...]

Yesterday wasn’t so bad. It’s not like I spent the entire day staring at a bunch of consoles spewing out compiler noise. I was doing something far more fun. Volunteered for this thing where I cut out these little (ok, actually quite large) glider parts from balsa wood.
The deal is that during some fair, little [...]

I just spent the WHOLE day building GNOME. Like I said, I had to move to another system, and this box is built to be stable and not bleeding edge. Well, that pretty much sucks, as there is no eye candy.
So, like your usual geek, I decided to install a new GNOME. Now, I am [...]

I don’t know what it is
That makes me feel alive
I don’t know how to wake
The things that sleep inside
I only wanna see the light
That shines behind your eyes
I hope that I can say
The things I wish I’d said
To sing my soul to sleep
And take me back to bed
You want to be alone
When we could be [...]

This is not good. I’ve dropped things quite a few times. Things seemed normal so far, but suddenly, my laptop seems to have taken offence and is beginning to misbehave. Right now, I am not typing this from my trusty computer, but some other box.
The connection between the adapter and the socket for it on [...]
