That Fuckin Guy

This makes me feel a little funny.

The backstory is that I put the shuffle through the wash, last night. Boy, is it clean! It’s soaking in distilled water now, which may clean it out and allow it to work again. I’m guessing the thing is fried but like, it’s worth a try, right? right.

I also rinsed a dead keyboard in the distilled water. I still feel weird about dumping water on electronics, but apparently it might fix them…Stay tuned.

A friend of Lori was over the other night, of course I offered her one of my deadly Manhattan cocktails. She says “OOOH yes please!!!” so I oblige. I think she may have been confusing it with something else, because she says “whats in this? all I taste is bourbon” and I kinda chuckle, it IS all bourbon (and bitters, and a little sweet vermouth…). She left it sitting on the table. Waste of perfectly good Wild Turkey.

Lori seems to think she may have thought I was talking about a Cosmopolitan. I guess I should learn to make those too, just so I don’t completely kill everyone who walks through my door.

this http://www.flickr.com/photos/phooto/157270049/ is creeping me out.

also, I drank too much whiskey last night. for fucks sake, what makes me drink shots of wild turkey? god DAMN I fucking hurt today. why is it that sometimes I can get hammered and then feel more or less fine the next day, other times like today I am feeling like a truck ran over my head.

makes no fuckin sense at all.

wants YOU

Ok I really need to keep track of what rpm repositories I enable. I’ve spent the last couple of months scratching my head over why the lirc daemon did not work, and a little later why the ivtv (support for television cards) module with the 2.6.17 kernel could not initialize, etc.. Staying back on the 2.6.16 series, ivtv worked but lirc was borked. In case you’re wondering, lirc stands for Linux Infrared Remote Control. Hence, my remote control has been broken. Last night I decided to start fucking with it again, compiling my own lirc kernel modules which ended up failing with unknown symbols. Re-installing the rpms, I noticed I had atrpms-bleeding enabled (atrpms is a popular package repository). which had me running the 0.8.0 version of lirc, which was recommended on the lirc mailing list to NOT use. Quickly realizing my mistake, I removed the lirc packages, disabled atrpms-bleeding, rebooted, ding! 2.6.17 works with 0.7.0 lirc and ivtv initializes without error.

I’m a dingbat. Running bleeding-edge repositories and wondering why things are broken.

Tomorrow, I will study operating systems concepts, matrix theory, and then I get to see Slayer. It’s too bad I have a cold or it would be 100% awesome.

FUCKIN’ SLAYER!!!!


<*greg*> i told lamont that i was going to see a metal show next week
<*greg*> and he asked ‘is neck coming up?’
/m greg heh
/m greg aw
<*greg*> and when i responded no he said ‘then its not metal’


how about that bush? am curious: is there a tactful way to say to a republican relative: “what do you think of your s*@t-head now?” probably not.

The new Celtic Frost is a bone crushing hammer of destruction and darkness.

yeah right, like I need a metal week. seems like my whole life is “metal week”. metal life. something.

But check it out. The Metal Poll is on.
