knows that the average man can see much better than he can think.

At the bottom of my login profile is a `[ -x /usr/games/fortune ] && /usr/games/fortune -aes` line that likes to generate odd messages haha

Writer’s Block: Prison Time

by

If you were sent to prison for an undefined amount of time, what would you miss most?

Live Journals Writer’s Block

Probably programming!

Honestly, I can’t fathom what it would be like to not program stuff…. if I didn’t have a computer or something, you’d probably find me rewiring old electronic gizmo’s into something new and strange, or building a robot…. or accidentally electrocuting myself in the process lol.

(that being said, if I had the resources I would try building my own PDA, and probably have to watch the FCC confiscate it or something :-(.)

A little real life…. (IRC style)

note: Blackbox = Window Manager for X11; .blackboxrc = x resource file which is != a script.

this is something I would do

This linguistics professor was lecturing the class.
“In English,” he explained, “a double negative forms a positive. In some languages, such as Russian, a double negative is still a negative.”
“However,” the professor continued, “there is no language wherein a double positive can form a negative.”
Immediately, a voice from the back of the room piped up: “Yeah….. right….”

mm, bash.org is making this a laughing day lol

interm to-do-list

  • finish sas work
  • finish implementing history commands/HISTFILE in tpsh
  • take a shower
  • hexedit firefox3 > /dev/hell/level/7
  • figure out the least painful route of doing a crap load of software updates on my laptop

spent most of my day in the proving grounds, and a little time on the hallway. Really, I was rather surprised: my first trip down the hallway I was making good accuracy, good pace (for an old fart), until I got to the nearly bullet proof potted plant and the 9mm roller skater next to the hostage lol.

last line read: NASM uses the resb, resw, and resd keywords to allocated byte, word, and dword space in the BSS section.

(back in dec/jan or so, I was trying to learn some asm using examples in GAS and the NASM manual; wish I had time to restart those studies!)
