Just returned from my aunt’s place where I had run off to for the weekend. I probably will buy myself some quick bake cookie thingies and quick make ravioli thingies in the future.
I’ve been sleepy all day long. Could barely keep my eyes open around 3 in the afternoon. I’ve managed to force myself [...]

Print iconEclipses, ponytails and geekisms

Saturday, November 8th, 2003

Been staring at the moon at different points of time over the past few hours. What can I really say?, it was a pretty eclipse. As pretty as lunar eclipses can be anyway. I just wish it wasn’t so cold outside, and could have gotten a better view. Speaking of which, it’s extremely cold. And [...]

Friday, November 7th, 2003

Why is it that whenever I hear the instrumental backup for “Nightswimming” by R.E.M I tend to almost cry, a happy cry?
You, I thought I knew you
You, I cannot judge
You, I thought you knew me
And I guess a lot of people were excited when HL2’s source was leaked. It’s just, sigh, it’s caused a long [...]

Print iconTests, BAH!

Friday, November 7th, 2003

Ok, I’ve idled and tried to avoid this long enough, now to get back to.. documenting my days. I had this test yesterday and didn’t do entirely too well. I mean, I could see that it was extremely simple, for someone who’d prepared a bit. But not me. Oh no. I’m the one who’s above [...]

Is it just me, or after one too many South Park episodes I’ve started talking like Cartman?
Aww god damnit.

Guess who, just guess who is on a spanking new 2.6.0-test9 Linux kernel.
Where the fish is my all hyped desktop responsiveness? Sure, it feels snappier than OS X, but then, it always was.
It doesn’t feel magically different. What gives?
I am not a happy man. I expect too much.

Print iconMy thoughts on Fedora

Tuesday, November 4th, 2003

A couple of people have asked me about this and I’ve essentially typed up the same thing (for two moderately different questions). I paste it here because I’m a lazy slacker and I don’t see why a good 10 minutes of typing should be wasted, if people really care about my thoughts on the issue.
I [...]

Print iconPlanning on working hard, for a while

Monday, November 3rd, 2003

In order to avoid the drama that was caused due to skipping sleep for a few nights before the previous work submission date, I’ve decided to start in a bit, and not wait for something like 1 A.M and stay up all night.
Or so I keep telling myself at the moment. It’s just, sheesh, I [...]

Just got back from Sarah’s place. A relatively fun filled 3+ hours of watching Simpsons and the rest of “laugh out loud” Sunday (with the oh so serious “tobacco is wacko” ads interspersed) on Fox with random people and drinking… dew. But that wasn’t the most interesting part of the evening.
I am not much of [...]

While I was out today, I observed the strangest thing. Well, it’s not really that strange, but it’s not something I haven’t seen in this country so far. I saw people WORKING on a new parking lot ON A SATURDAY.
The concept of removing a bunch of trees to enlarge a parking space seems quite, evil. [...]
