I lied, the new nautilus, while fast, is a crashy POS. Oh well, glad I don’t use it much (at all). Let’s just say it’s… “fragile” right now 🙂 Probably the reason that the gnome-terminal background wasn’t working earlier. Went out to the gym to follow a new program I’m trying, it was a good […]
For the next while I’m going to be experimenting with a new system for maintaining my online journal. Please head to this address until further notice: https://arcterex.net/blog Thanks.

Upgraded my Gentoo system to GNOME 2.1. Looks good too, I’ll post a screenshot soon. The fonts look awsome, and the speed improvements in Nautilus make it almost usable. The only strangeness is that the terminal app’s setting for transparent background doesn’t seem to work (it did once, but not since), and when one alt-tabs

Dreams… I was at home with my parents when I got a phone call on my cell phone. It was someone I had had calls from before, but long ago (deja-vu in a dream?). Her name started with a “V” and she was with an insurance company investigating a car crash from 1997 that I
This is very very disturbing for some reason. For those who are bored, and needing more interesting things to look at in their morning web run, try hitting the movable type webring. I’m actually thinking of experimenting a bit with MT to maintain this journal. I’ll probably throw up a /blog URL sometime to play
To all that asked, my ride on a horse with a name went well. Clyde was a big ass Clydesdale whose body size was a bit wrong for his legs. He looked like a very big, sort of stretched, weiner dog. Anyway, the ride went well, and my instructor (that’d be Firefly) did well, teaching

What a bizzare and horrible night. It was one of those nights when you can’t sleep and everything is conspiring to keep you from having a good night’s sleep. I met up with NateFlex at the gym last night and we did a shoulder workout, so that didn’t help. The cats decided they were going

Corny looks up at me and mews, so I look back at him, and mew back. I decide that he may be trying to communicate, so I follow him around. We circle the kitchen, then head back to the living room and head to the cat post, which he hops onto to receive petting. I

I just wrote my first ASP: <% =PDPid %> Ooooohhhh…. aahhhhhh….. Wow, just found out something as well… about how conditional statements are calculated. The entire statement is looked at. In perl, if the variable $foo is an undeclared variable, the code if( defined $foo or $foo eq “bar”) will first evaluate $foo and see
When batting a large, pissed off flying creature with a stinger out of the air, be sure you know where it lands! Alerted by Zoon’s cries of “there’s a bug! there’s a bug!” (she has a very distinctive “bug alert” noise she makes… little mews closely spaced, kind of a “meh! meh! meh!” noise), I
