  8. While I appreciate iOS app updates being free, I think iTunes needs a tip jar for devs that routinely enhance and support their products.

  42. Kin is dead: http://j.mp/d5bqPg Microsoft's biggest progression as of late is being quicker to realize when they've failed miserably. Sad.

    Wed 2010.06.23, 9:46pm

  48. Alright, we're done with rumours and speculation, we've seen the teardowns and unboxing galleries. When do we find out if iPhone 4 blends?

    Wed 2010.06.23, 11:00am

  49. Before iOS 4 upgrade I had ~ 1 GB free on my 8 GB iPhone 3G. Now I have 4.2 GB free. Maybe it scaled down my 6000+ photos more than before?

    Mon 2010.06.21, 3:33pm

  50. Apple iOS 4 seems to be available now.

    Mon 2010.06.21, 11:07am

  51. Trying out the keyboard dock for the iPad. It's okay, but I'm a little disappointed that CTRL keys don't seem to work with iSSH.

    Sat 2010.06.19, 5:29pm

    Mon 2010.06.07, 11:31pm

  65. Still syncing. This is torture. Want... to... play...

    Fri 2010.05.28, 7:14pm

    Thu 2010.05.27, 11:26pm

  74. I may be in the minority here, but I'm happy to see the less than pretty 2 icon go in favor of the new Twitter branded icon.

    Wed 2010.05.19, 8:10pm

  75. Why do publishers of TV series box sets think I'd be interested in buying low-res DVDs of HD shows?! Where are the damn Blu-rays?!

    Fri 2010.04.30, 3:14pm

  84. iTunes frivolously 'optimizing' my 6314 pics when syncing to iPhone. Seems to happen if my iPhoto Library is open on another Mac in the LAN?

    Mon 2010.04.12, 12:55am

  104. Can't understand the logic of all the whiners wanting their $2.99 for Tweetie back now that Twitter bought it and made it free. Seriously.

    Thu 2010.04.08, 7:43pm

  110. iPhone OS 4's "multitasking" looks slick but doesn't handle my use cases. No iSSH backgrounding for tunnels and no Colloquy/IRC. Aww. :(

  272. Neat JS typing test: http://bit.ly/1hpbbs - Whew, better let the keyboard sit and cool for awhile. :P http://twitpic.com/mfv86

    Wed 2009.10.21, 10:56pm

  273. Tried NetNewsWire and Newsie... Not all that impressed. Byline is still king of the Google Reader RSS apps for my use...

    Wed 2009.10.21, 8:37pm

  274. Jessie's LG Keybo (LG9100) dies and reboots when connecting to Linux or OS X as USB mass storage. Apparently it only talks to Windows. LAME!

  277. Damnit, apparently some ballgame on Fox shoved House into Lie to Me's timeslot thus ruining the PVR recording. Sucky!

    Mon 2009.10.19, 11:52pm

  278. Next up against the wall will be devs that don't comprehend that drivers weighing in at 10's or even 100's of MBs are bloated garbage!

    Mon 2009.10.19, 10:27pm

  279. One day I'll find & kill the bastard behind all the BS spam infested driver sites that eclipse the legit driver downloads in Google's index!

  289. Going to the Oilers game, woohoo!

    Sat 2009.10.10, 7:36pm

  290. A workaround! Dereferencing the hash appears to eliminate the mystery value based keys from appearing. This still doesn't make ANY sense.

    Fri 2009.10.09, 3:48pm

  291. Woohoo, Tweetie 2 has arrived!

    Fri 2009.10.09, 2:36pm

  292. Why are my perl hash values becoming keys?!

    Fri 2009.10.09, 12:33pm

  293. What just happened?!

    Thu 2009.10.08, 9:58pm

  294. Ah, Ubuntu betas. Over 260 updates in only 4 days - and now I have two battery level icons... Will I ever learn to wait for the release?

    Thu 2009.10.08, 8:44pm

  295. Received my reminder of what winter driving is about this morning. Whitemud overpass on 50th was SLICK! Barely avoided remodelling the car.

    Thu 2009.10.08, 9:40am

  296. Just worked out differences between the old Rogers 'System Access Fee' vs their new 'Regulatory Recovery Fee.' The old way saves me $0.13...

    Wed 2009.10.07, 12:13pm

  297. I miss Roloson... :(

    Tue 2009.10.06, 9:29pm

  298. Dear Shaw, your PPV 'service' is a joke... Maybe you should fix it some day!

    Tue 2009.10.06, 7:50pm

  299. Dropbox looks slick! But... How does it figure I deleted a file 7 hours before creating it? Or joining even? http://twitpic.com/kihhf

    Tue 2009.10.06, 2:04pm

  300. Bell & Telus to carry the iPhone next month, nice! Maybe a little competition will correct the insanity of Rogers charging $8 for caller id!

    Tue 2009.10.06, 9:27am

  301. Fixed a dumb bug in a perl script I'm writing. Too many cookies in my cookie jar. Tossing my cookies every loop iteration solved all...

    Sat 2009.10.03, 2:08pm

  304. I despise this VAIO for not holding a charge.

    Sat 2009.10.03, 12:31pm

  305. Fixed my Twitalytic instance. Apparently it doesn't like humans tearing out random rows from its tables. Whoops! Off to bed I go.

    Sat 2009.10.03, 1:14am

  306. Watching Defying Gravity in distorted standard definition. How very sucky! I blame ABC.

    Fri 2009.10.02, 10:54pm

  307. ASCII files with DOS style line endings are vile! s/^M//g

    Fri 2009.10.02, 9:43pm

  308. Google's invite only concept is brilliant. Would the world's geeks be clamouring over 'Wave' so frantically if they could sign up on a whim?

    Wed 2009.09.30, 4:13pm

  309. Less 'play' and more 'go to bed' might be a good idea right about now...

    Wed 2009.09.30, 12:31am

  310. Push email to iPhone via Google Sync also works for Google Apps domains. Nice!

    Wed 2009.09.30, 12:16am

  311. Apple should really allow users to hide or delete useless built in iPhone apps. Honestly, I have no desire to ever record a 'Voice Memo.'

    Tue 2009.09.29, 8:50pm

  312. WTF, why is the Whitemud all backed up?! :(

    Tue 2009.09.29, 5:41pm

  313. Google sending out 'Wave' invites to the first 100,000 people that signed up, tomorrow. Could have sworn I signed up. Can't remember...

    Fri 2009.09.25, 9:11pm

    Fri 2009.09.25, 6:42pm

  317. Just purchased NetNewsWire... Torn between it and Gruml. I like Gruml's feature-complete Google Reader support, but NNW feels more refined.

  331. Uh oh, vacation is over. Off to work I go.

    Tue 2009.09.08, 8:16am

  332. Wow... Upgrading en-freebsd-doc from ports pulled in and built 108 dependencies! That's a little much. Better stick to the binary next time.

    Mon 2009.09.07, 10:30pm

  333. Somewhere between FreeBSD 8.0 BETA1 and BETA4 my ZFS woes have been resolved. Nice! Also liking the new USB thumb drive install images.

    Thu 2009.07.30, 10:24am

  366. As soon as this massive fly buzzing around my office makes a wrong move, he's a goner. He's taken a few brute hits, but he lives so far.

  402. iPhone app devs, please hold off new iFart and Flashlight apps for a sec so Apple can find time to click "approve" on the push apps already!

    Fri 2009.06.19, 9:10pm

  403. WTF, all the currently available push apps are for apps that don't really need it... Damn you, Apple! Hurry up with the updates already!

    Thu 2009.06.18, 9:32pm

  404. Then I could stop refreshing the updates area like an obsessed mad man and wait for the badge to increment... Sigh... All well.

    Wed 2009.06.17, 11:53pm

  405. In lieu of push apps being ready with the launch of iPhone 3.0 today, you'd think Apple could at least make the App Store app utilize push.

    Wed 2009.06.17, 11:52pm

  406. Tried tethering my iPhone to my Linux laptop. No dice, looks like this is a "Windows/Mac" only game until somebody writes a driver.

    Wed 2009.06.17, 11:46pm

  407. Sweet, tethering is now enabled... Free for iPhone users while Rogers decides how much more to gouge (next 6 months)...

    Wed 2009.06.17, 10:05pm

  418. Woohoo! My copy of Version Control with Git has arrived. :)

    Wed 2009.06.10, 11:16pm

  419. M'eh, it's an external, now I'm not quite as impressed. All well...

    Wed 2009.06.10, 12:55am

  420. Wow, 4TB drives from Western Digital: http://bit.ly/G1VDC - want!

    Wed 2009.06.10, 12:54am

  421. WTF is with these whacky widgets appearing obtrusively in the background of Slashdot comments lately?! http://yfrog.com/03itqp

    Tue 2009.06.09, 11:37pm

  422. Good news everyone! Futurama shall return again... Cool! - http://bit.ly/14xzog

    Tue 2009.06.09, 11:10pm

  423. Well, that was a hellish commute .

    Tue 2009.06.09, 9:52am

  424. 99th down to one lane for no apparent reason makes me happy... :p

    Tue 2009.06.09, 9:12am

  425. Playing with my early copy of iPhone 3.0 software... Seems solid... No real push enabled apps to play with yet though...

    Mon 2009.06.08, 11:26pm

  426. Goodbye Gentoo, you're fired! It's been fun, but Ubuntu is reclaiming my laptop...

    Sat 2009.06.06, 9:11pm

  427. My copy of "Version Control with Git" has shipped. w00t!

    Fri 2009.06.05, 1:38pm

  428. Damn, I hate these bullshit Facebook quizzes, I do out of boredom that ask for a cell number at the end hoping I won't see the $5/week scam.

    Tue 2009.06.02, 11:17pm

  429. All done. Motorola CNUT 3.x now runs on OS X - http://bit.ly/6VQGf

    Tue 2009.06.02, 10:40pm

  430. Attempting to re-package CNUT 3.12 for OS X...

    Tue 2009.06.02, 9:10pm

  431. ...and here's why I'll never trust any search engine Microsoft develops... http://bit.ly/6l2Ng

    Mon 2009.06.01, 11:17pm

  432. Oooh! Check out Microsoft's new search engine "Bing." Seriously, hurry before they realize they/it still sucks and rebrand it again.

    Mon 2009.06.01, 10:52pm

  433. Banishing Inferno to the basement... http://bit.ly/16Ndi1

  434. Stupid Rogers. Their promotional "MEGA VALUE PLAN" has no value whatsoever when you weigh in all the factors... Tards - http://bit.ly/13fvIb

    Mon 2009.06.01, 6:57pm

  435. My vacation is now over. :( Off to bed so I can wake up on time to grab a cappuccino and return to the whole "working for a living" routine.

    Mon 2009.06.01, 12:03am

  436. Shaw must just be getting saturated in my area. Now, in the middle of the night I'm getting my usual 15 Mbps again. Time for upgrades, Shaw?

    Sat 2009.05.30, 1:11am

  437. Shaw seems disturbingly slow at the moment... Only getting ~ 3.5 Mbps... Usually get 15 Mbps pretty consistently. What's up?

    Fri 2009.05.29, 10:38pm

  438. Why, oh why is Seven Pounds not available for rent in HD on Apple TV? All well, not giving Shaw $7.99 for the privilege. Standard def it is.

    Sun 2009.05.24, 11:26pm

  439. Going across the street to Fat Franks to get me a hot dog, gigady!

    Fri 2009.05.22, 1:09pm

  440. Just discovered a slick and free iPhone app called 'Mover.' A neat UI for sharing photos and contacts over WiFi. Ok seriously, going to bed!

    Thu 2009.05.21, 1:30am

  441. Must... Fall... Asleep...

    Thu 2009.05.21, 1:13am

  442. One more reason to hate Rogers - http://bit.ly/HU1kN

    Thu 2009.05.21, 12:21am

  443. Waiting on hold for a Rogers rep... Wonder if they're actually around at this hour or if they just put me in an infinite queue for laughs.

    Wed 2009.05.20, 11:28pm

  444. Damn all these cliffhanger finales... What's the deal?!

    Wed 2009.05.20, 9:03pm

  445. Watching Criminal Minds...

    Wed 2009.05.20, 7:00pm

  446. Need to get me one of these: http://bit.ly/178h3G for the next time the car taunts me with its check engine light.

    Wed 2009.05.20, 6:44pm

  447. Received my Ubuntu 9.04 CD in the mail. It's taunting me with its fancy new artwork... It wants to be installed over my finely tuned Gentoo.

    Tue 2009.05.19, 7:17pm

  448. Really should setup ZFS on my gateway box and be done with fsck nonsense...

    Tue 2009.05.19, 6:49pm

  449. Power is back up, now I need to get all my computers back up and happy again.

    Tue 2009.05.19, 6:42pm

  453. Evacuating CN!!! Run for your lives!

    Wed 2009.05.13, 11:08am

  454. Linux.com looks nice and should serve Linux users well, but I think they got a little carried away with the whole social networking thing.

    Tue 2009.05.12, 10:35pm

  455. Checking out the new linux.com site.

    Tue 2009.05.12, 10:25pm

  456. Why, oh why does a little snow slow down traffic so drastically?!1

    Tue 2009.05.12, 5:44pm

  457. Leopard 10.5.7 Update released, w00t! http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3397

    Tue 2009.05.12, 2:33pm

  458. WTF, why is VirtualBox's DHCP server passing 16.187.5.8 as the primary nameserver to my Gentoo virtual machine?

    Tue 2009.05.12, 11:38am

  459. Installing perl forks: 'Fixing prototypes in forks.xs' seems to take an absurd amount of time... Waiting...

    Tue 2009.05.12, 11:12am

  460. Watching the finale of Castle...

    Mon 2009.05.11, 8:07pm

  461. Hmmm, Shaw phone service seems to be down... How odd...

    Mon 2009.05.11, 6:43pm

  462. New version of Things for iPhone is out, w00t!

    Sun 2009.05.10, 6:37pm

  463. Wait a minute... I'm still awake? How silly! Time to stop pretending I'm a web designer and go to sleep...

    Sun 2009.05.10, 2:22am

  464. Alright, Tomcat either hates me, FreeBSD or both. Either way, I'm going to bed.

    Thu 2009.05.07, 11:32pm

  465. Yay, got Apache Tomcat up and running...

    Thu 2009.05.07, 8:44pm

  466. Traffic sucks!

    Thu 2009.05.07, 5:27pm

  467. Allright, it's definitely past my bed time... Good night!

    Wed 2009.05.06, 12:54am

  468. Sweet... All set for Windows 7 drivers. 64-bit drivers for most VAIO notebooks can be found here: http://bit.ly/Uv9GP - you're welcome. :)

    Tue 2009.05.05, 9:18pm

  469. Now that I've got GRUB reinstalled I can boot into a REAL OS (Linux) and run lspci to find out what chipsets I still need drivers for.

    Tue 2009.05.05, 8:44pm

  470. Thanks for wiping out GRUB. Good ol' Windows (not that I didn't expect it). Also wish I kept the drivers I downloaded for the beta.

    Tue 2009.05.05, 8:19pm

  471. Installing Windows 7 RC. I suppose it would be too much to ask the installer to tell me the partition types when it asks me to select one?

    Tue 2009.05.05, 7:49pm

  472. Downloading Win7-RC within VirtualBox. Nice of them to make the download site incompatible with anything but Windows/IE/ActiveX. How lame!

    Tue 2009.05.05, 5:03pm

  473. I love coming to work only to discover my headset didn't sit it its cradle properly overnight and is now stone dead.

    Tue 2009.05.05, 9:34am

  474. Yay... Inferno all upgraded... Better get to work now.

    Tue 2009.05.05, 8:30am

  475. Screw it! This FreeBSD update on inferno is taking too long. I'll go to bed and leave it 'till tomorrow, what could possibly go wrong?

    Mon 2009.05.04, 11:58pm

  476. Trying out the facebook twitter app.

    Mon 2009.05.04, 11:41pm

  477. Geez... Running freebsd-update on inferno takes FOREVER. Might be time to consider retiring this old Thunderbird (http://bit.ly/XJ4zI).

    Mon 2009.05.04, 11:06pm

  478. Upgrading inferno to FreeBSD 7.2-RELEASE.

    Mon 2009.05.04, 9:05pm

  479. Time to go watch Castle.

    Mon 2009.05.04, 7:59pm

  480. Yay! All fixed up... Going home. :)

    Mon 2009.05.04, 5:26pm

  481. I need to stop fixing Gentoo vulnerabilities towards the end of the day... Now I have to wait for PHP to recompile before going home. :(

    Mon 2009.05.04, 5:06pm

  482. Chillin' lazily on the couch watching TV... Worn out from dragging two truckloads of junk to the landfill... Waiting for my McFlurry... Mmm.

    Sun 2009.05.03, 9:39pm

  483. Oooh, FreeBSD 7.2 has been released. Nice!

    Sun 2009.05.03, 6:52pm

  484. Sweet, accidently found an Easter egg in the Fortune app for iPhone... Now I feel clever. :)

    Sat 2009.05.02, 8:58pm

  485. Starting to look more summer like out here! Natalie loves it! http://twitpic.com/4f7np

    Sat 2009.05.02, 1:11pm

  486. Sweet! VirtualBox is being ported to FreeBSD! - http://bit.ly/13b1oO

    Sat 2009.05.02, 10:29am

  487. Alright, one last smoke and I'm going to bed.

    Sat 2009.05.02, 1:59am

  488. It appears Twitux may be my best option for treating my twitter addiction under Linux. Don't imagine Tweetie will ever be ported.

    Fri 2009.05.01, 8:04pm

  489. Cisco lists 1 lame "advantage" of Proxy ARP and 6 disadvantages, why is it enabled by default on their routers?! http://tinyurl.com/6oby3

    Fri 2009.05.01, 10:46am

  490. Enough! I'm going to bed.

    Fri 2009.05.01, 12:13am

  491. Downloaded NetBSD 5.0 yesterday... As its the one BSD I haven't played with... Disappointingly it won't boot within VirtualBox. How odd!

    Thu 2009.04.30, 11:58pm

  492. Wow, it was a bit of a fight (http://bit.ly/LQEZ0) but it looks like the system is now happily running Jaunty. I'm impressed and bewildered!

    Thu 2009.04.30, 10:47pm

  493. Still letting apt work its magic. I'll be thoroughly impressed if that system functions normally after all this.

    Thu 2009.04.30, 10:14pm

  494. Oh yeah, that system is pissed right off now... I just might be able to recover it from here though... Here's hoping. :)

    Thu 2009.04.30, 9:59pm

  495. Uh oh... Its either happily rebooting or broken... Neat experiment, yes? Bright idea... umm? Maybe not?

    Thu 2009.04.30, 9:14pm

  496. Upgrading my brother's Ubuntu desktop to 9.04 using update-manager via SSH X11 forwarding over an IPv6 connection. Cool. :)

    Thu 2009.04.30, 8:38pm

  497. Downloading NetBSD 5, I'm just plain curious. Never actually got around to trying NetBSD.

    Wed 2009.04.29, 10:03pm

  498. Going home, w00t!

    Wed 2009.04.29, 5:05pm

  499. Successfully made a Prolific UC-232A USB to serial adapter work with OS X using an open source driver: http://tinyurl.com/34szj3. Sweet!

  501. textmate (http://bit.ly/AFMjh) looks like it could be slick. If only it had vi key-bindings I could use it as a text editor.

    Wed 2009.04.29, 12:09am

  502. Finally going home... Woohoo!

    Tue 2009.04.28, 7:49pm

  505. Playing with Perl::Critic (http://perlcritic.com/). Looks interesting. Will have to take a closer look at this as time permits.

    Mon 2009.04.27, 10:58pm

  506. Google profiles, cause the world needed one more way to track my every move: http://www.google.com/profiles/dlemire

    Mon 2009.04.27, 9:49pm

  507. Time to put away the perl interpreter, wrap things up and call it a day.

    Mon 2009.04.27, 5:14pm

  508. Thus ends another weekend... Time to sleep...

    Sun 2009.04.26, 11:35pm

  509. Wow, it is remarkable how much more responsive Courier IMAP is on my P4 3.2 GHz colo vs my aging AMD 850 MHz Thunderbird based home server.

    Sun 2009.04.26, 12:11am

  510. Mission accomplished.

    Sat 2009.04.25, 7:25pm

  511. Making her some Kraft Dinner to exact "Kraft" specifications may smooth things over. Worth a try.

    Sat 2009.04.25, 7:02pm

  512. All this mail migration stuff has bored my wife so severely she's resorted to watching Harry Potter on TV. This can't be good.

    Sat 2009.04.25, 6:58pm

  513. Think I'm all done... Too bad for my 24 hour DNS TTL though. That was stupid. :P

    Sat 2009.04.25, 6:39pm

  514. Playing with the idea of moving mail from my home server to my Tera-Byte colocation.

    Sat 2009.04.25, 4:27pm

  515. Did I fall asleep, miss summer and skip straight to fall? Last I looked it was supposed to be spring. Damn Alberta.

    Thu 2009.04.23, 9:46pm

  516. Hooray!!! It compiled! It actually compiled!!! Who knew defining NPTL_KERNEL_VERSION in make.conf would do the trick?!

    Thu 2009.04.23, 2:59pm

  517. Trying again to build glibc.

    Thu 2009.04.23, 12:21pm

  518. Alright, Criminal Minds is over and my FreeBSD updates are done. I'm going to bed.

    Thu 2009.04.23, 12:14am

  519. Well, might as well go watch Criminal Minds while BIND recompiles.

    Wed 2009.04.22, 11:00pm

  520. I should probably update the FreeBSD base on my home server as the the power outage killed my uptime a couple days ago anyway. I need a UPS.

    Wed 2009.04.22, 10:40pm

  521. Why, oh why won't this Gentoo box build glibc?!

    Wed 2009.04.22, 10:12am

  522. Idling at the Tim Horton's drive through to celebrate Earth day... :)

    Wed 2009.04.22, 8:19am

  523. Whoa! It's not even 8 AM yet and I'm up and ready to go, and I have enough on my Tim Card for a cappuccino. It'll be a good day!

    Wed 2009.04.22, 7:52am

  524. Need a good twitter client for Linux. Maybe I'll give TweetDeck a try...

    Tue 2009.04.21, 6:58pm

  525. How is it that mod_perl is lowercasing the field-name key in my DBI row hashref?!

    Tue 2009.04.21, 1:38pm

  526. It's 2009 and our clocks still blink 12:00 after a power outage, WTF?!

    Tue 2009.04.21, 12:59am

  527. Emerging iwl3945-ucode-15.28.1.8 seems to break WiFi on my Gentoo notebook. Reverted to 15.28.1.6 and masked that beotch. All is well now.

    Mon 2009.04.20, 10:54pm

  528. I have power again, yay!

    Mon 2009.04.20, 8:49pm

  529. What the hell, my power just went out... :(

    Mon 2009.04.20, 7:54pm

  530. I think they put baby crack in these Goldfish crackers. My daughter simply can't get enough of them!

    Mon 2009.04.20, 7:43pm

  531. Ubuntu 9.04 will be out in 3 days. Will Gnome 2.26 hit the Gentoo portage tree first? If not, I may question my current distro choice. :)

    Mon 2009.04.20, 7:32pm

  532. My wife bought me a Rubik's cube... Sweet!

    Mon 2009.04.20, 5:54pm

  533. That's enough for today. Time to go home.

    Mon 2009.04.20, 5:08pm

  536. Going home. :)

    Fri 2009.04.17, 6:22pm

  537. I'm on twitter and my chair squeaks like a tweetie-bird, coincidence?

    Wed 2009.04.15, 10:43pm

  538. Why must I wait 8 hours for batteries to charge when I buy a new toy? :(

    Wed 2009.04.15, 10:05pm

  539. Hmm. Just bought Tweetie. Much better UI compared to TwitterFon.

    Wed 2009.04.15, 9:57pm

  540. Seriously people. Its a virus. It's infecting Windows machines... This is news, because?!

  548. Tweaked almost all the nagging issues out of my Gentoo install... Was it worth it?

    Wed 2009.03.25, 12:27am

  549. Sorry Microsoft, even free porn isn't enough to persuade me into installing Silverlight! (playboyarchive.com).

    Thu 2009.03.19, 12:45am

  552. Alright, so I have a working 'base...' Now the fun of compiling everything I need to actually have a useable laptop. That'll take some time.

    Wed 2009.03.18, 11:21pm

  553. Damn... Didn't even break my Windows 7 partition in the process... :P

    Wed 2009.03.18, 11:06pm

    Wed 2009.03.18, 11:04pm

  555. Nope... Screwed up my grub.conf. :(

    Wed 2009.03.18, 10:56pm

  557. Still compiling...

    Wed 2009.03.18, 10:48pm

  558. Compiling the essentials... syslog, cron, dhcp client... Yeah, and a boot loader...

    Wed 2009.03.18, 10:44pm

  559. Emerging vi before I go NANO CRAZY!!!

  561. Still compiling...

    Wed 2009.03.18, 10:23pm

  562. For once the wife is probably right... I think I'm just installing Gentoo cause I like pain...

    Wed 2009.03.18, 10:22pm

  563. My wife hates "tweeter"

    Wed 2009.03.18, 10:17pm

  564. Attempt failed... Still compiling... She's still giving me dirty looks for wiping Ubuntu... :(

    Wed 2009.03.18, 10:15pm

  565. Attempting to make conversation with my wife while my kernel compiles..

    Wed 2009.03.18, 10:13pm

  566. Still compiling; good cigarette...

    Wed 2009.03.18, 10:13pm

  567. Compiling is taking too long... Guess I should smoke.

    Wed 2009.03.18, 10:09pm

  568. Compiling the kernel...

    Wed 2009.03.18, 10:07pm

  569. Wussing out and installing genkernel for now...

    Wed 2009.03.18, 10:06pm
