Pilfered (heh) from Nick Mamatas’s LJ, and following his variation on the rules: Plug your answers into Google Image and post pics. How hard can it be? The rule is actually to pick the first photo, but I just picked the first reasonably sized photo that wasn’t pornographic instead. I also chose the most interesting of the first two, because some of them really sucked. If you don’t like it, you can lick the insides of my shoes.
Blame (or thank) Tina for this one:
One of my co-workers kindly gave me a TV that had been cluttering up her office, which works out nicely for me. During my night classes, I’ve been meeting with a very small group of students for a Media English class. I would have preferred to hold class in my office, but for the need for a screen on which to play some videos we’ll be watching. So now that I have a TV, all I need to do is get a cable that’ll convert S-video out to RCA in. (I hope such a thing exists, as I’m a total n00b in …
I would encourage you to drop the gordsellarfeed and start reading my posts off the main Eclexys page, where you’re welcome to comment. I’ll be seeing whether the old feed can be discontinued, you see, so… switch now! While you have time, and all that!
Testing, testing, 1, 2, 3… Earlier today, a discussion with my Clarion West classmate Maura reminded me that I still hadn’t set up the crossposting function that would copy my WordPress posts over to my LiveJournal. Would that LJ’s architecture were such that this weren’t necessary, but apparently, for the moment, it is if I want to see what comments LJ users are making, without forcing them to hop over to my blog. So I’ve installed a plugin to do just that. This means you can read my posts at three places now. On my site, on the LJ feed …
Ritu posted a meme where she answered five questions, and then invited others to ask her for five questions for them to answer. I asked for questions, and here they are: 1. How do you perceive yourself? Hmmm. What a terribly dangerous question. It’s dangerous because in some ways, I find I’m a tiny bit of a cipher to myself, if you know what I mean. I know how I feel about things, and what I think about things, but as far as how I perceive myself… well, my feeling now is, uh, keunyang, I guess? I am who I …
You know someone’s not your friend when you mark incoming mail from them as spam without thinking about it, and have to use the undo link in Google. It’s a sad moment. You kind of find yourself wishing that instead of ignoring the flakey updates, you could just kind of opt out of tier 1 (every freaking update) and move yourself to tier 2 and get just the really big news. When I reached South Korea, I began doing what a lot of people do: I started sending mass email updates which were probably quite annoying after the first few, …
The last week or so, I’ve been fine-tuning my current installation of Ubuntu 6.10 (Edgy Eft) on my new HP dv2024, which seems to be basically the same as any other HP dv2000. This is an overview of what I’ve gotten working, and how, and what I have left to test. Because I use Windows very occasionally, I maintain a dual boot system. Setting that up was easy, and since I’ve done it before, I didn’t need a walkthru. If you do, check out this video. The only thing they don’t get into is the specific setup I prefer, which …
Okay, the Linux posting is a little delayed, but look at this goofy stuff! Julia got it from Adam. Like both of them, I am amused by the juxtaposition of uptight white 19th century musicals form and style (and visuals) with modern macho rap culture. Quite amusing, and I’m sure ‘d pay a decent sum of money at some point to see a musical of that sort in real production.
Today, for some reason, I got me a bad case of the sniffles. I think it was maybe a very brief early wake-up a few hours after I finally got to sleep. But it may have something to do with dust in the new apartment. I’ve been busy and haven’t done much sweeping or mopping since we moved in, and maybe there’s enough dust to set me off, since, on leaving the house, I suddenly was okay. Between the beginning of the first class of the day, and its end about 35 minutes later — it’s the first week and …
