drokulix likes especially when he do so for someone interesting instead of myself. he like to think that his mission is to be a knower of geek things without becoming a total bastard. At least half of the computing he do is by remote over SSH. he think in Perl. PHP is his friend. C and C++ are binary bliss. GNU is fun. Windows is a necessary burden.

"The Graveyard"
I've essentially spent the past day and a half either at school (about 10 hours today) or trying to get my home network back up.
My server machine vengeance croaked in the late evening (all of a sudden segfaults everywhere and a plethora of files even root didn't have permission to stat, let alone read). I had my old workhorse marius up to pick up the task before midnight, but then suddenly the exact same thing happened. I was out of feasible answers, having no particular piece of hardware to blame it on, so I decided the problem was probably that I was trying to run modern Slackware (8.1) on old 586 machines.
So then I figured my best option would be to bring out my classic Athlon machine tron to handle the problem at least temporarily. I put Slack on it as I tried in vain to nap through the installation, and when it choked on my first couple of attempts to install LILO, I figured I'd better get some sanity sleep. A whole four and a half hours.
After I got back from school, nearly twelve hours after an already tired awakening, I got to the bottom of the LILO problem, threw on a few of my old configuration files, and now the basic IP masquerade functionality is active, for now. I'm going to make sure to do full backups of everything I need before I try to enable anything else.
I finally got to bed at about 21:30, with my alarm set for 00:30.
I half-awakened in bed. The light in my bedroom was off but I could see the ceiling in the glow of tron's monitor. I tried lifting my arms and my head. My muscles felt like loose rubber bands and my skull and limbs dropped like bricks. I soon perceived that every muscle in my body was in mild spasm, including my diaphragm (a phenomenon known as "hiccups"). My mind felt detached from my body; I was stuck in some paranoid delusion that I could not possibly decode, I felt anaesthetized, and I began to wonder whether I was about to die or have an out of body experience. I finally resolved to come to and figure out why my alarm hadn't gone off yet.
It was 22:45. Of course.
So, here I am. And I still have the hiccups.
Mine is a hard mind to have.
Please love me.

"The Horn"
You know, for being back in school and having to do homework again, things really aren't so bad, I guess.
(sigh.)
I was on the phone last night with my cousin Ben talking about the various things that change over the years (I turned 20 on the sixth), and how there's promise for my twenties to be good and my thirties to be even better. My teens weren't great. I don't think I miss them. But apparently my twenties are when I will develop real, functional friendships. And when I'm 30, I'll still be relatively young and actually be able to afford stuff! At this point, I'm less than a year away from being able to enjoy my Jack and Diet Pepsi legally!
Spring Break is March 9 to 15. In hopes that I get to do something interesting.

"Wowie Wowie Zowie!!!"
Today I am feeling mad. Mad as in Mad Hatter. There is a tremendous release presently going on in my head, caused by my recent completion of finals, and naturally it has attached to my paranoia for a complete feeling of mental out-of-placeness! Earlier, for example, I typed random letters into my Mozilla address bar as I howled, "da-da-da-da, da-da!!!! Charge!!!!"
And now... today's magic mantra is... fexofenadine!!!!
BABA

"Fuck The Hat"
Right now I just feel like doing something that will impress the underpants off 1000 people.
You know, if you were a member of a group of about 1100 people, and every night three people were responsible for putting on a show for all the others, it would be about one show a year for everyone, and everyone would have a whole lot of fun if even one of the three people a night did a good job.
I just wanna be loved; is that so wrong?

LOOK AT THIS RIDICULOUS SMILEY
OMFG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11111111111
Today has been sleepy. Yesterday was the last day of regular classes, and I exploited the fact by staying up programming until about 6 or 7 am, and then sleeping until about 2. God love the nocturne.
When I get enough sleep on such rare occasions, I have dreams, which become clearer to see while at the same time harder to understand or explain. I'm positive that at least one was sexual in nature, though the details beyond sex escape me, but today every time I've had a thought about sex, I've suddenly gotten very sleepy...
Awriight... Shit's fucked up, huh...

Okay, maybe I've figured out another use for this thing. Maybe it's a good outlet for all the little bitchings I have to bitch about.
Right now I'm feeling incredibly depressed and lonely, and as happens most times I feel this way, I have a list of phrases that I wish would embody me so that I would look cooler:
"Nameless Numberhead Man" (Schizopolis)
"This is where all the weird shit happens."
"Voilet"
"Wasso"
"Robot In Muncie, Indiana (Robot In Exile)" (Dave Morford Hostage Crisis)
It's too bad I have to be in such mental shape. I don't feel tired, but if I don't sleep, in a couple of hours I'm liable to be suicidal.
HAVE A NICE DAY!

I've known about this site for a decent amount of time, but I never had any idea it wasn't just image until my man Astro told me about his new membership. This thing is fantastic.
I'm here. So, anyway...
All of the sleep I've lost this week has made me feel absolutely disgusting. So much work to do for the one really horrible class I had this semester. That's fortunately all over with now, and after finals this coming week I'll be able to rest easy and hit the Perl projects, hardcore style.
I would imagine that any further postings here will be rather brief, but I'll be sure to at least post something every time I make a new posting to one of my projects, such as drocore.com, a site compiled from my man-bitching, and halfgeek.org, a site which showcases only things fairly technical in nature, because I need a separate, censored but active site to show to people who shouldn't know about my man-bitching.
Oh. Another thing. If I happen to use Japanese from time to time, it's because I'm a Japanese minor and happen to enjoy the language. I'd really love to visit. I'd really love to live there. But... I'm not really an anime buff. Most things anime I see, I like, but they are limited, and I personally resolve not to get into any series more than two or three seasons long--that's too much pressure. Cowboy Bebop, 3x3 Eyes, Princess Mononoke, all awesome. Guilty pleasures include éX-Drivers and Sonic The Hedgehog. Fortunately for my psyche, I'm not into any of the Dragonball series.
Okay. That's it. Sayoonara. Ta ta for now.
