Today was un-productive. I got some code done on the encryption stuff for ulisten, but a lot of time was spent getting in and out of code-mode due to various interruptions, but self-induced and otherwise. Mailing list crap with stuff about distro wars, package format wars, and whether person x is right and everyone is wrong, etc. etc. I get home and figure hey, I can finally get some fscking work done. Nope. Decide to install win98 back instead of w2k because it didn’t help me with my crashing problems. Damn thing took longer to get back to linux (finding a boot disk that would get me back to be able to access linux after win98 wiped out my mbr (as expected)). Interestingly enough windows doesn’t even bother to warn you about when it’s going to wipe your MBR anymore, it just does it quietly. Back in the win98 (95?) days it popped up a box saying it “had found an alternate MBR, it may be another OS, we’re going to wipe it out ok?” Not that you had a choice, but at least it warned you. Oh well, can’t have people having other OSs right?
Got home and while windows was copying and rebooting I rode to get milk for breakfast. Totally forgot to get cereal of course though. Firefly found that granola is like the highest amount of fat of any cereal, and in my quest for better fitness/nutrition it’s gotta go right? Actually I rode to the store twice, or 1.5 times, not because I forgot cereal, but on the way the first time I forgot my wallet. Nice little ride though, just enough to get my legs a little pumped and breathing hard. I’m sure that it’s not doing any real good for me, but it’s better than sitting on my ass all day. Wait a minute, it’s just more sitting. Geez…
Eyes are itchy. Allergies? Fsck.
Typing now with eyes closed, waiting for files to finish copying across from my backup to the new windows partition (well, newly reinstalled windows partition). Hopefully now my burning program (cdrwin) will work properly, instead of burning my a shitload of coasters 🙁 Eyes open now. Still itchy though. <quickly corrects spelling mistaikes in eyes closed typing>
Not sure if I’m going to work on getting burning back up and going tonight and while it’s going clean up this sty, or go and work on my 3 item checklist of unstable stuff that I’m working on.
Note to self: Write about England RSN.
