i finally fixed my gentoo box, and im currently installing mozilla 1.4
i plan on downloading all of MIT’s OpenCourseWare materials. it’d be ncie to go ahead and archive it all.
went through 3 different algorithms for bleech, anded up back where i started. i may have to kludge it just so i can run it, but it will need some work before its realy to ready to play ball
more as it develops
ok so this weekend was kinda boring. one of those sleep all day sorta weekends. the UT game was pretty boring, and prolly embarrassing to Tulane.
i got hooked on bittorrent for windows though. can’t say it sounds like much of a cooler idea aside from downloading iso’s. which is exactly what i did. but for keeping track of all the trackers out there, must be a real pain in the arse. i did find some cool forums like sharingthegroove and filesoup, but it’s still a pain in the ass to download stuff off the net. i doubt anything will be as easy as napster. for shame the riaa had to take that masterpiece down with it’s outdated business model.
stupid cop gave me a speeding ticket for going 75 in a 65 on the way home. you figure the city could come up with better ways to make money.
today seemed like it would never end. on the upside, it seems i will be starting a retirement fund, at the ripe old age of 21.
ibm counter sues sco yet again today, claiming that sco violated their copyrights by claiming that they (sco) owned linux. i just don’t see sco coming out on top of this one.
tomorrow is the UT vs. Tulane game tomorrow. i will be taking pictures and developing them in the darkroom this weekend. probably won’t be scanning them as they are going to be printed on glossy rc paper.
im going to sleep until sunday now.
ok so today wasn’t as bad as i thought it’d be.
first at work, i figured out how to connect to an ftp server through their router. previously they had been shellin out to ftp, so i got it issuing the actual ftp commands over a socket
then the job fair was ass. i’m not sure i understand why a comany goes to a job fair if they are not looking for employees or do all of their hiring process through their website.
ok so i dont know if anyone has read about this, but it seems that square is doing a movie based on final fantasy 7. it’s supposed to take place 2 years after the end, which ending they’re refering to hasn’t been mentioned. check out the scan that was linked to Jump magazine. if you ask me, the detail is too high for this to be some sort of hoax. it looks as though some time was spent on this. some people have run this through babelfish and it seems to only mention cloud and sephiroth. one thing that puzzles me is the screen cap from aeris’ death near the bottom left. I’m not sure what it says about that. if any one knows japanese, please send me a translation.
/me must ….. sleep ….. now ………….
to those of you who haven’t seen scarface, i definately recommend you check it out. this is the dvd re-release. i have th tape i bought back in the early 90’s, and it’s without a doubt one of the most twisted tales of excess. definately worth checking out.
tomorrow im going to post the updated list of burns. i have about 60 to add to the current list.
/me goes off to finish reading for parallel processing
so i finally got the networks working, which is a relief because i dont really wanna look at that code any longer.
/me goes out to clean up the C of code he created
interesting slashdot article on how virginia tech will be setting up a 1100 node supercluster of … macs. dear god, all those zealots/sales personal will be ranting about this forever. i swear to god if i hear carlos try and peddle more apple wares, im gonna take his iPod and stuff it up his iAsshole.
