Hey everyone, How are we all ? Sick ? Tired ? Exhausted ? Flat out like a lizard pulverised on asphalt from a road train of commitment ? So much has been happening, ulrica (my laptop) seems to have gone a bit crazy and requires some serious slanting

Hey everyone, I am currently sitting here, cleanly out my laptop’s 100gb hard drive, and updating as much software for my Gentoo as I can since I had to leave the software updates to the weekend as their were several blockers (packages that can’t be installed with other packages), but I believe I have them all sorted out now. Other current blockages include our toilet which has caused the most grief this weekend. Because it is a septic system it isn’t just as easy as using a caustic or acidic solution like Draino to unblock, and we are currently using an enzyme based solution which may or may not be […]

Hi everyone, I haven’t blogged for a while despite the fact I should have, but lack of everyone else updating has rubbed off on me if only a little bit. I am loving all the comment spam I have to delete, must recently a semi Shakespearean false definition to a dead link. I have been slowly upgrading my Gentoo and preparing for / backing up the under warranty repairs. Also have been playing ET occasionally on Internode servers (I just discovered why my guns kept getting jammed. Low mouse sensitivity on touchpad.) I also went to a small but LEET lan courtesy of Ruben, and after Hell and high water […]

Hey everyone, All my five exams are over (lost two lives on the maths levels but gained two on the IT subjects) and till next February I am temporarily free. (No more University till February) Irony seems to like to throw itself on me, with coincidences and random events occurring all around me lately. From bumping into people, hearing love songs after witnessing fist fights, dealing with friends and acquaintances in similar scenarios, cliched pop cultures references leading towards mockery of anything sacred, people striving for difference that in doing so they become the same. However, that doesn’t mean all fun and games till then. I have already compiled a […]

Hey everyone, Gentoo and Sabayon (instant Gentoo) are awesome. I downgraded my WINE and now WinMX works (well still having connection issues.) I am currently back on LMM (linuxmoviemania.com)(Using RoboMX) The more I use WINE, the more I want nvidia to hurry up with their new drivers (the ones that support xorg7.1). I could just downgrade but where is the fun in that. Overlays in Gentoo are great. (Using local overlay with knetworkmanager, networkmanager, java 1.5 32bit (stupid ELP), and mplayerplug-in-bin). Because of this, I have discovered the magic and wonder of video.google.com and youtube. I also have been getting CD Covers for my music in Amarok, Amarok is brilliant. […]

Lost in a dark place, only I know the way, I have been here before. The darkness will soothe my soul and heal my wounds.

Hi Everyone, I am not in an average or happy state like my previous posts. I am currently depressed with some stuff. I will get over it eventually but hey, that is life. I am that depressed, I begin to wonder about suicide and then realise my previous promise to myself and find the will power and resolve in the back of my mind. (It is the big golden box.) I am very lucky to have this willpower and resolve, others without it have killed themselves or attempted to many times before. I have helped counsel some people out of suicide using it. As my birth was so miraculous (I […]
