*nix

Today, a kid I had just met asks me: "Is Linux good?"

Assuming by the nature of his question that he was not a computer scientist in any sense of the term, I replied: "Only if you want your computer to do things."

Hey there, Internet. I'm still alive, and my website is back, ish.

The "ish" being that it goes down every time I have to boot into Windows 7 to stream Hulu and Netflix to my PS3.

Come on, WINE. Let me trancode video through you, please.

More on my Linux exploits hopefully earlier than three months from now.

food, glorious food

Last night, Lauren and I made honey-mustard chicken, Hasselback potatoes, corn on the cob, and berry-vanilla parfaits. All delicious.

Growing up with the Internet sortof feels like cheating sometimes.

the technocalypse is upon us

For the first time, I get to use this as an excuse. Honestly, I'm surprised it took this long.

Also, EATR and Big Dog put together are going to be the first dominant cybernetic organism on Earth.

Just you wait and see.

been a while

So, long story extremely short, getting a girlfriend and becoming a wandering, 'Net-less nomad tends to kill blogs for me.

It's a long-standing trend. (read: it's happened BOTH times now. haha.)

In any case, I currently have less-than-acceptable 'Net access at my parents' house and am bored and less than sleepy with my girlfriend about a thousand miles away.

What a perfect time to blog.

Honestly, there have been a few issues in the world (socioeconomical and geopolitical, at least) that I felt perhaps I should opine about here on my little Internet-ical soapbox.

I haven't, in a very long time. Such posts take a lot out of me.

For now, I will just say what I always say: life is good, and I thank the Lord.

Case closed.

I'm feeling a little update fever might come up in the near future, if my dad's place ever gets 'Net access, and I stay in any one place for more than 10 days. I have yet to, in my month-point-five and roughly 3500-mile, 15 state journey ever slows down. Terrible MSPain(t) drawing of my summer journeys coming up after this short break.

...

generally great

Yesterday, I became WREK's new General Manager.

Life is good.

Living is even better.

On another note, I'm terrible at Killzone 2. Oh well. Can't have everything go right.

It would appear I can have a whole lot go right, though.

150 hours

Split into 4 hours twice weekly, 23 weeks.

Compressed into one.

Win.

Also, I fell out of my bed again.

Fail.

seriously, though

Who ever said Friday the 13th was unlucky?

Not this guy.
