I gotta stop doing these things,

but they're so much fun!

( I think not. )

( much better )

( I wonder about this. I really do )

( quite accurate, actually. surprising. )

*yawn*

I've been awake for some 13 hours, after sleeping for around 24, plus a 6-7 hour break in the middle.

so why am I staggering around like a bloody zombie?

hmm. I want to take a road trip out to Phoenix again. visit Mr. Books (if they're still open) and see if Mark remembers me. check out the Arizona Capitol Museum. cruise through the neighborhoods we lived in. run through Metrocenter again. throw firebombs at Marshall Ranch Elementary (well, okay, scratch that one). see if that little mexican place with the awesome green chili burritos is still there. check out Westridge Mall again. finally see what Arizona Mills is like inside.

y'know, see if the place still feels like home.

icky.

I need to wash my hair. and stop posting. and go to bed. I really should.

well, Windows decided to freeze on me, so I dropped into Linux again. so far, despite using pfeifer-sources as my "stable" kernel, I'm having no problems. except the little thing with gpm, X, and my MS Wheel Mouse not working well together. whatever. su root; gpm -k works well enough.

why is it

that Mozilla starts faster with the -splash option on Linux, which supposedly slows down initialization?

why does Emacs always die in X? 19.34, 21.3, I tried 20.7 a while back... they all die with Fatal error (11).Segmentation fault unless I pass --no-windows or -nw, which makes it rather pointless to try and run in a GUI, no?


so I'm compiling GVim; hopefully that'll work better. can't be much worse, after all.

I'd stop, but it's so much fun...

You are an inexperienced lover. You have a
tendency to shy away from relationships because
you don't know enough about love. You're
somewhat open to the idea of love, but it's not
something you've fully grasped... yet.


What type of lover are you?

erm...

You like writing, you like your daily intake of Budweiser, and on bad days (which might just fall under 'everyday'), you can be a jerk. But underneath all that hard exterior is a sensitive boy struggling to get out. Don't be afraid to fall in love; go find your pink-haired soul mate, and smile awhile. Which Gravitation Character Are You?

sed is neat. especially when I can actually untwist my mind enough to come up with a functional script. for what I was trying to do though, I really should have invested the time to figure out directory crawling in Perl: I'm much more familiar with both its file I/O and its regexes. I probably wouldn't have had to resort to opening one file in Vim to get it to translate right.


but, whatever. I got it done.

oh, and while it's on my mind...

why does everyone insist on changing alllll of their config files over to XML, despite the fact that a) it takes (much) time to implement the change in the source; b) it's often harder to find a specific config element to change (manually) amongst all the added XML noise; and c) in many cases it vastly increases the size of the config files in question? I mean, looking at some of the files I'm pretty sure that C is often due to bad implementation, but what about the other two? what brought this to mind was the following:

bash-2.05b$ ls -l .xfce/xfce?rc
-rw-r--r--    1 hyuri    users        3734 Aug  1 22:20 .xfce/xfce3rc
-rw-r--r--    1 hyuri    users        7671 Aug  1 22:20 .xfce/xfce4rc

the files are friggin' identical except that one is XML!

too much anime

I keep wanting to call people that refer to themself in the thrid person, Ed.
