A Checklist.

Is Linux the OS for you? Answer the following questions to find out:

  1. The thought of downloading my OS from a web page gets my juices flowing.
  2. Cryptic text streaming past my eyes on startup excites me.
  3. I know what one of the following means:
    • apt-get
    • rpm
  4. I like my icons big and ugly.
  5. Selecting the correct device driver from a long list gets me hot and bothered.
  6. Waiting for language kits to download is what computing is all about!
  7. I believe that free == better quality.
  8. I prefer KDE over Gnome.
  9. I prefer Gnome over KDE.
  10. I know what Gnome and KDE are.

If you answered yes to any of the above, then Linux is for you. Don’t hate me.

My hard drive died a few weeks back. The essentials were rescued, but my RSS feeds are gone. I want yours.

Share “one” feed per comment.

Thank you.

Yesterday 3 - Me 0.

Someone out there is wishing hateful shit on me. CUT IT OUT! Yesterday:

  • Taught 3 lessons with a crusty booger poking out my nose. Yo, fellow instructors, thanks for *not* looking out!
  • Had meeting, but left jacket somewhere else. Sigh.
  • Ripped the crotch of my pants before meeting. How the hell did this happen?

So, yeah, I lost to Yesterday. So did this guy but on a different day: I Has a Sweet Potato. “The short version, for those who do not feel like reading the whole post: ARRRRRRG. Fucking sweet potatoes.”

Random Linkage.

Enjoy:

A Letter.

Dear Today

I’ll meet you in front of Aeon Jusco after work. Say goodbye to your family and friends because I am going to hand you your posterior.

Yours Truly, ME

The United States of America is a country of the western hemisphere, comprising fifty states and several territories. Forty-eight contiguous states lie in central North g America between the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans, bounded on land by Canada to the north and Mexico to the south; Alaska is in the northwest of the continent with Canada to its east, and Hawaii is in the mid-Pacific. The United States is a federal constitutional republic with Washington, D.C. its capital.

At over 3. 7 million square miles (over 9.6 million km?) and with more than 300 million people, the United States is the third or fourth largest country by total area and third largest by 1population. With a gross domestic product (GDP) of more than $13 trillion, m the U.S. has the largest national economy in the world. GDP per capita ranks the U.S. first among large economies.

American society is the product of large-scale immigration and is home to a complex social structure as well as a wide array of household arrangements. The U.S. is one of the world’s most ethnically and socially diverse nations.

The nation was founded by thirteen colonies declaring their independence from Great Britain on July 4, 1776. It adopted the current constitution (which has been amended several times subsequently) on September 17, 1787. The country greatly expanded in territory throughout the 19th century, acquiring further territory from the United Kingdom, as well as lands from France, Mexico, Spain, and Russia. With the collapse c of the Soviet Union in 1991, it became the world’s sole remaining superpower, and is a declared nuclear weapons state. The United States continues to exert dominant economic, political, cultural and military influence around the globe.

That’s it. Pretty funky, no?

Animals That Really Shouldn’t Exist: The Liger/Tigon.

Time for some Napoleon Dynamite:

  • Deb: What are you drawing?
  • Napoleon Dynamite: A liger.
  • Deb: What’s a liger?
  • Napoleon Dynamite: It’s pretty much my favorite animal. It’s like a lion and a tiger mixed… bred for its skills in magic.

Wanna see what a liger looks like? “Course ya do“! Click on this.

Student mentioned her cat was a ‘tortie‘. I had no idea what she was talking about. So I turned to the internet. As one does. Add-on cat links.

Conspiracy of the Century: Death Star Uncomfortable Questions:

7) Why has their been no investigation into evidence that the droids who provided the rebels with the Death Star plans were once owned by none other than Lord Vader himself, and were found, conveniently, by the pilot who destroyed the Death Star, and who is also believed to be Lord Vader’s son? Evidence also shows that the droids were brought to one Ben Kenobi, who, records indicate, was Darth Vader’s teacher many years earlier! Are all these personal connections between the conspirators and a key figure in the Imperial government supposed to be coincidences?

Pole Position, Space Invaders, and Pong. In my youth, I forced my parental unit to watch me play Pong in Sears. Now my wife suffers through, “Honey, come here and check out this site I found with people being Pole Position, Space Invaders, and Pong!”

Poor woman.

One-Stop Pimp Post.

Let us define pimping:

Pimp (From Wikipedia):
A pimp finds and manages clients for a prostitute and engages them in prostitution, often street prostitution, in order to profit from their earnings. Typically, a pimp does not force the women to stay with him; he may also protect them from other pimps or abusive clients.

Almost makes it sound like a legitimate profession. We all know better. The U.S government has a nice PDF explaining the problems with pimpin’.
