In porting an old multi-headed hydra, I found myself cackling.

Somewhere down in the beast’s HAL, is an utility function that returns the device name. This is what I found:
if (access(“normal device”, F_OK) == 0) {
    strcpy(devName, “normal device”);
} else if (access(“device not used in many years”, F_OK) == 0) {
    strcpy(“devName”, “device not used in many years“);
}
And in realizing why the stack trace was in such a simple function, I bust a gut when I noticed the quotes in the lower string copy. Ahh, the joys we inherit ^_^.

Watching the episode 4 – 6 arc of Love and Peace / Hard Puncher / Lost July, may have permanently endeared Vash the Stampede to me. Because if the humorous antics and ease going nature didn’t, that sure did.

The arc begins with Vash eating at a diner before a bunch of gunmen rush in wanting to lay claim to the $$60 billion bounty on his head, runs past The Nebraska Family, and into a revenge plot over the first city to experience his typhoon problem.

It’s a damned great story. Actually, that makes me wonder if there are Blu-rays available and decently priced.

Yep, it’s official. Trigun is freaking awesome and if I was smart: I’d have started watching this twenty years ago.

That’s the conclusion I’ve reached be episode 4: love & peace.

Firing up Trigun on Hulu, I think I’m going to like this show, as well as put a ding in my bucket list.

It’s idiots to the left; idiots to the right; and bullets everywhere. I suspect Vash will snipe my funny bone in a similar vector to Deadpool.

Signs that you’re a tablet whore:

  1. When you get to work and realize your tablet is still sitting on your desk.
  2. You wonder if forgetting your laptop would bother you less than forgetting your tablet.
  3. You’re pretty sure forgetting your tablet is worse.
  4. When you get home, you snuggle your tablet after hugging the dogs.

Ninja Nonsense – s01e01 – Ninja Trainee Shinobu

Not what I was searching for on Crunchyroll, but this is some kind of cracked crock full of nonsensical laughs for sure. Like a kunoichi assigned a panty theft mission meets a kick in the balls.
I’m not sure what perverted comedic drugs the author and animated was, but as a comedy it kind of works.

An expensive but delicious smorgasbord.

Probably a 1/3 can of garbanzo beans (69¢), a bag of frozen peppers/onions ($1~$1.29) that had a seasoned date with a skillet, rice with furikake and soy sauce, and a baked yellowfin tuna fillet (usually $6.99 for 3 frozen fillets). I think the fish was on “Please, someone just buy it” or near BOGO level sale pricing last time I bought fish.

Willow was somewhat less thrilled when permission to taste the tuna fillet was denied, but got her own meat and veggie gravy yummy dog food after dinner. Followed by a regular dog treat, lol. Ditto for Misty and Corky, accept they didn’t try and put their snoot on my foot.

There’s two things that Willow has a high likelihood of attempting theft: fish and chicken. Other than that, she tends to be pretty good about not trying to steal off my plate.
