Linux: its good to be free

Now, what do you own the world?
how do you own disorder, disorder
System of a Down, Toxicity

Well, I got the penguin onto my laptop. The next step is getting the wireless card to work right, which I have feeling is going to be a total and complete bitch. But Linux is there, and I'm not going back. This is something I'm just going to have to learn, no more relying on some big software company to hand me a driver, I'll have to make it work by myself. And so what, it'll be good.

Other than that, nothing much doing this weekend, just kinda sitting around and watching the weather.

Anyway, I'm damn tired, so I'm going to sack it in.

Later.

LONG LIVE TUX!

So What!
Topic: Daily Info

Motives changing, day to day,
The fire increases, masks decay.
I look at the river, white foam floats down,
The body's poisoned, gotta sit tight.

The wait, the wait, the wait, the wait.

After wakening, silence grows,
The screams subside, distortion shows.
Mutant thoughts of bad mouthed news,
Is just another birth of distorted views.
The Wait, Killing Joke

So yeah, I'm back. Got a few text messages today that were not exactly nice, and to be honest, they are exactly of the caliber of the person that sent them. Ah well, fuck it. I tried to be nice, and it didn't work. I know breakups hurt, believe you me, but I do understand its no reason to be fucking immature about it (another thing I have learned from experience).

To all my friends out there, thanks for understanding me and what I had to do, and thanks for your support over the last few days. You all get a cookie!

Still working on that essay about operating systems, and I think after the discussions I've had with a few TA's and the people I work with (people that have been in computing since punch-card times), I'm going to talk about processors as well. So, gimme another couple of weeks to work at it.

That's it for now, gonna hit the books and clear up some homework.

Later.

Fuck
Topic: Daily Info

I did it. And I feel like a fucking ass.
And I know I hurt her and myself. Time will heal, but it hurts now.

I'm going to go away for a while, a few days on the outside. Back by Thursday for sure.

The rest of you have fun. Eat, drink, and be merry, and I'll try to join you there soon.

Tough decisions
Topic: Daily Info

If you think I've given up on you you're crazy
And if you think I don't love you well then you're just wrong
In time you just might take to feeling better
Time is the beauty of the road being long

I know that now you feel no consolation
But maybe if I told you and informed you out loud
I say this without fear of hesitation
I can honestly tell you that you make me proud
Just Wait, Blues Traveler

Well, I've finished the analysis of something that I never like to analyze. I don't particularly want to do this, but the analysis tells me it is for the best, and the analysis has never failed me before. I may think on it more in the next few days, and then again, I may not, and just concentrate on how to carry out what I should do. It's going to be a hard thing, and it will hurt all involved, myself included.

{Sigh}

Life is such a bitch sometimes.

I'll let you know by next Saturday. It's going to be a long 518,400,000 milliseconds.

Uhhhh
Topic: Daily Info

Well, I'm slowly getting better, I'm down to a mild cough and a little sniffling. Better than I was earlier this week.

Not much going down. Working on another essay, this one about operating systems and where they are going and where I think they are going. Why am I writing this essay? I think its about time I exercise my scientific writing skills again before they get dull.

Anyway, can't think of much else, so have a good one.

No more
Topic: Rant

So, how many more have to die? Hmm? Tell me. I wanna know. They're just going to keep dying, no matter what we do. They don't want us there, its more than clear. And we've created a power vacuum. So if we stay, it gets worse, and if we leave it gets worse. And our "esteemed Commander-in-Chief" only believes in cowboy diplomacy (ie watch a John Wayne movie). Slick, eh?

Fuck

I only hope no more have to die before we figure it out.

Sick
Topic: Daily Info

Dammit, I'm sick. And I had to go to the doctor. And I had a good run going there. All because of my brother's damn computer.

Cripes.

I dunno. Feeling out of it, more than just the sick. But I'll have to think on this more at a later time.

So, have a good one. And someone talk to me, its lonely out here.

So tired and worn
Topic: Daily Info

My eyes feel like they're gonna bleed
Dried up and bulging out my skull
My mouth is dry
My face is numb
freaked up and spun out in my room
Brain Stew, Green Day

So, I guess I'm quasi sick. Not 100% on that, since I always have a semi-runny nose, but I'm certainly worn out and down feeling. I was good earlier, but by the time I got to Jami's, I was tired, beginning to get achey and starting to fall asleep sitting up, so I went home after being there for only an hour or so. Kinda suck-tacular.

From now on, I will only do one OS at a time on a computer. And I can tell you my predilection won't be too anything out of Redmond. That's right, Microsoft, I'm done with your garbage that you call programming. Eat shit you fuckers, I've had paying huge wads of cash for something that fails. I like the word free, and I like to chose. And I chose Linux.

TUX FOREVER!

Ahem, alright, sorry, got into a rant there. I'm going to bed, since I'm already not feeling well, and I automatically lose an hour of sleep (stupid day-light savings time).

Arrrrrrrrgggggggggggghhhhhhhh

Hate me now
Kill all within my hands
Hate me now
Crush all within my hands
Squeeze all within my hands
Choke all within my hands
Hate me now
Trap all within my hands
Hurry up and hate me now
Kill all within my hands
All Within My Hands, Metallica

It been a damn long hard weekend already, and its only Saturday. Lat's just leave it at broken hardware, and five or six mis-installs of varying operating systems. I'm getting awfully tired of this.

Ah, I dunno. Other things are not well either, but I'll explain that at some later date when I figure it out.

Later.

I'm frantic in your soothing arms
I can not sleep in this down filled world
I've found safety in this loneliness
But I cannot stand it anymore

Cross my heart and hope not to die
Swallow evil, ride the sky
Lose myself in a crowded room
You fool, you fool, it will be here soon
The Unnamed Feeling, Metallica

Well, I'm down to one problem on the homework for one class, and one problem on the homework for another class. And both problems are driving me nuts and giving me very wrong results.

Cripes.

Okay, gonna relax, finish my dinner, and think about the problems for a while longer. Hopefully not too long, since they're due on Friday.

Ah well.

Good luck to anyone that needs it, and good luck to myself, because I sure need it.

Later.
