Newbie’s Linux Manual: Tar and Feathers – Without the Feathers
Category: Legacy
so, i was almost successful in posting from lynx. i was checking to see if my site was down (it’s not, but i can’t get to it from my home system). anyway, after i do a bit of writing, i will be packing up my computer (and the rest of my stuff) and driving back to la tomorrow. i also finally am getting a chance to reassess what i’ve accomplished this summer, and what i want to do in the coming year. i need to write this down somewhere.
i am also stressing a bit about my system integrity. a friend who has a login on my system had his usc student account compromised. although my logs look ok, and i’ve since disabled his login, it’s still one more thing i don’t need on my mind.
saw the way of the gun, the directorial debut of chris mcquarrie. both he and one of the actors, nicky katt were there and said a few words. the movie was alternatively really bleak, and bleakly humorous. really great script, and in the end, a atisfying film experience: …whether the end is happy or not…depends on how closely you’re willing to look at the details.
useless trivia: the official one-sheet was being shown, which had one gun per regulation as opposed to the two gun original.
Hertzfeld spills all about Eazel. there’s a part two as well.
hmm, a $99 tivo even makes up for divx and a broadvision powered pos site.
my friend writes much better than i do
as a tangential aside (aren’t they all), i have thus far avoided reading house atreides, after seeing some of the reviews when it first came out. i have a feeling that i’ll break down sooner or later and read it anyway, but at least keeping in mind that it’s it’s not canon, but rather just bad fanfic.
heheh, Who would have thought an operating system whose mascot is a cute, smiling penguin could engender such fear?
finally got to reading this michael dell interview. pretty interesting commentary on /.
DVD/DeCSS: MPAA Wins In New York. hmm, illegal to link to code…
