My lotion and me + weekend roundup


So before I tell you about the weekend, let me just ask a question about something I found out on Friday. I don't remember exactly how the topic came up, but a question was asked to my co-worker if he used lotion to which the answer was no. as a matter of fact, he dissed any and every guy who did use lotion.

So I didn’t wanna say anything because I was one of those guys that used lotion. Yes people...I punk’d out. I should have stuck up for all my lotion homies. I mean nothing is wrong with using lotion. I normally use a little because my hands normally would end up being white. but there are some guys that use it all over their body, you would swear they were a girl. Like they have a 30min lotion period in the mornings.

Anyway, the weekend was both lovely and horrible. Lovely in the sense that I spent it with my girlfriend as I went over from Saturday (at 1:30am…long story) to Sunday. I have never done so much house work over a weekend like this one. Plus we got to spend some much needed quality time together talking and playing scrabble and watching some movies. It was so cute.


On the other hand, it was horrible because I am a man of comfort and I wasn’t comfortable. I have grown too attached to the technology around us today and will go insane when I am deprived of it. Especially when I know that it is available but we don’t have it. It’s totally different when a hurricane screws up the entire electrical grid in the island. But worst of all...the place was a sauna and almost every sentence I said started with "You need to get a fan".

But enough whining, the weekend is over and now it’s back to work. Oh boy.

Answer the phone already

You know what grinds my gears...when you're in the office or home and the phone rings. And apparently, no matter how many persons are there, it's your duty...obligation...sole purpose in life...to answer the phone. And you know when it gets worst, when you see those persons trying to ignore it by walking pass it or by starting an "important" conversation. Or even more horrific is when they stare you in the face with that "I'm not answering it" look.

Seriously, sometimes I wish I worked on the 2nd floor or something so that one day I can "accidentally" bounce someone off the railing whenever they into that not answering the phone mood. I honestly think that God put certain persons on this earth with the sole purpose of annoying others. Is like you throw a little garbage on the ground and you are doomed to live the rest of your life with imbeciles who have answer-the-phone-phobia. Geez.

Rant: I'd like to say “Fuck you” to the Computer Science Department

And here I thought my ranting came to a premature end...But I've returned to rant another day

Before I get to the rant, I saw a comment saying something about me possibly being a very difficult person to deal with. Actually, I'm an easy-going, cool, down-to-earth person and these rants are for fun.

Back to the rant...

*sigh* I don't even know where to start...How about stop being fucking retards?

Maybe I'm naïve or something but whenever I hear the words Computer Science and main lab the thought of a modern computer lab comes to mind. *sigh* What a fucking disappointment.

The first time I ever used this supposedly modern computer lab (which was in 2005) I was anything but impressed. The still had old Dell optiplex (700Mhz) machines with CRT monitors running Windows 2000 on one side of the lab and some 1.8Ghz systems on the other side while other computer labs had machines with 2.4Ghz+ P4s. So at this point I'm wondering wtf is going here. Are these people serious? Those machines sucked so badly that throwing a smoke grenade in Counter Strike would make the machine freeze because the smoke was just way too much for those machines to render *roll eyes*.

The following year, they finally got newer machines (for half of the lab) but by then I said fuck the lab and bought myself a laptop. There was no way I was going to wait to use a computer when I had my own laptop. But what good is a laptop if wireless access isn't always available on campus?

So now, we'll skip ahead to last year when the other side of the same computer science lab finally had new machines brought in. These machines were supposed to be blazing fast with Core 2 Duo processors and 2GB of system memory. Yeah, right? More bullshit. First issue, all the machines came from Dell with ball mice...okay, but I thought optical/laser was what was being used. The second issue, the machines are slow like dog shit. Seriously, if I see an Intel Core 2 Duo sticker on a computer, I'm going to expect a fast, responsive system (ofcourse there are other components to consider, memory bandwidth, latency, hard drive speed and interface, etc). Disappointed again. Epic Failure once again. These computers are so slow it takes MSN Messenger about 5 minutes to sign in. That's just plain retarded. I only wish I were exaggerating but it is so.

After years and years of the same monotonous bullshit, the computer science department at my school finally decided to introduce some useful courses into the curriculum. So after so many years, it finally became painfully obvious that they needed to introduce some web design and computer and network security to their computer science programme? Are you fucking kidding me? Why did they wait until now? And they wonder why most business prefer students from the rival university (UTECH).

Hell yeah! The computer science lab just got about a dozen Intel-based iMacs, a Mac Pro and a cinema display. Oh wait a minute, these machines aren't actually available to computer science students. So, what happened here is that another faculty needed some space for multimedia classes and that was the reason why those machines ended up in the computer lab in what used to be a secondary lab/tutorial room. At first it was said that we could use the machines whenever there were no classes. Sure, turned out to be bullshit after a while. They restricted access to only those in that class. But that never mattered to me since Apple computers are overrated in my opinion. Not too long ago, a lecturer had to borrow that same secondary lab for a tutorial and the Mac-noobs started to get annoyed, showing signs of their disapproval. And this is something that has happened more than once.
I can only ask the following question: why the fuck do these people think they own the place which they borrowed in the first place? Maybe they think using Macs to design things makes them superior to other people.

Being caught in my own bit of problems and having to spend extra time in school part time, I decided that maybe I should just do web design since its just for credits. And after attending the first class I was somewhat disappointed. Hoping it would improve, I decided to stick it out. As class progressed, it became somewhat noticeable that the lecturer thinks the class is filled with a bunch of tech-noobs. Now, I'm not saying that I'm a genius, but in this day and age, how the fuck are you going to ask college students if they know what Google is? Or even Youtube? Oh...maybe they didn't want to assume anything (yeah, right).

Anyway, this about wraps up my rant for now. And yeah, there are cool lecturers and other people who are associated with the department who get my full respect.
I'll put more effort into getting a rant out on schedule and with the usual style.

Life: Weekly Review [29-Sep-2008]

This is a quick run-down of the week starting September 29.

Monday:

Had a Japanese test (yeah, I'm trying to learn Japanese) which was supposed to be an hour long but I ended up finishing in approximately 18 minutes which sorta pissed of some of the people in the class. Then it was of to the language lab for an hour.
After that I was off to the computer lab for 2 hours and then to the electronic lab for 4 hours directly after that. 8 Hours between class, work and doing lab experiments.

Tuesday:

Another morning I just had to wake up early to get to the computer lab for 8:00Am. 2 Hours later, I'm off to Japanese for 2 hours. It sucks having to walk half-way across campus for class.

Wednesday:

Again, I had to get up early so I could make it to the computer lab but this time for 9:00Am. At least I sold an old textbook which means money for me. My friends dragged me into playing basketball with them. And after such a long time of not playing any form of sports I could actually still play which was surprising. One huge problem, after 10min I was unable to continue the game. I'll blame school for me not actively engaging in sporting activities.

Thursday:

And away I go to the computer lab for 8:00Am again but this time I had to help underclassmen (mostly girls tho, ^_^) who are doing introductory computer science courses with their lab exercises for 2 hours. 10:00Am I was off to Japanese class which is actually pretty cool. And then back to the computer science lab which is pretty much the main hangout spot for my friends and I.
2:30PM, not may people showed up for the computer science club meeting which although a disappoint, was expected.

Friday:

Woot, Japanese class again but this time at 10. Ugh, I remembered I had an assignment that was due for the "Web design & Programming" course. I spent the rest of the day trying to finish and for some reason progress was rather slow. So slow that I didn't get to finish everything before the submission time. Disaster :(.

So now, its 7:30PM...maybe I'll pwn some n00bs in Combat Arms or study.

The giants are at it again

I started using this thing the moment I heard it was out. It's still beta and all. But it's a great start. One of the largest entities in the consumer technology industry, Google, made one more step to conquering the world. Tuesday, September 2, Google released the BETA test for their up and coming browser dubbed 'Google Chrome'.

The release of this news came after the company 'accidentally' released a full comic explaining their plan for their browser. This comic can be viewed at http://www.google.com/chrome by clicking the 'Learn more' link.

We would stress this point, it's a BETA test, meaning not all the bugs are worked out yet and they are looking for consumer feedback as to what needs to be changed or added. As a BETA we can be happy that you can at least uninstall it when you're done playing around unlike other BETAs.

Appearance:
With this browser Google has taken an interesting approach, "Out with old and In with the new". Not a revolutionary approach, but they may have gone a bit too far with what they decided to leave out.

Google has taken the browser design from scratch with a minimalist approach. For those used to the traditional layout, such as that found in Firefox, the absence of several buttons and toolbars will immediately through you off. Novice users, I believe will have a difficult time navigating the window, and the awkward positioning of the bookmark icon looks like it was thrown in at the last minute. Even the home button isn't initially there. It is a setting that must be selected.

The window itself has the feel that it belongs on a Mac. Tabs appear at the very top of the screen giving it the appearance of a file jacket. The width of the tabs is limited by the width of the screen so if you open more than a few they get really small making it difficult to navigate through them.

Performance & Features:
The installation took a bit longer than I would have liked but I can overlook that since it quickly made up for by importing all of my Firefox bookmarks and such quickly 'n' easily. Loading page to page and rendering images to screen is comparable to what you would expect from Firefox 3.0, so we can congratulate them on that.

There were some problems with streaming video especially when they were multiple tabs open. Even though Google boasts that they have solved most memory leak issues, the way they have designed each tab to be an individual process takes up too much memory for the average computer. The smart address bar seems a step below the one in Firefox 3.0, but it gets the job done.

Security, one of the most focused upon aspects of Chrome performs well but we'll see how well it goes when people start targeting their malware at the browser. The download manager could use some work and just initially seems out of place.

Final Opinions:
Great start, but it's still a way off. Even though this is an open source application, and it has all these security and memory management wonders, we have already seen these things well executed in Firefox 3. I'm hoping that more will come to the interface. I don't need clutter but I wouldn't miss some of the feel from an older browser.

And, we really hope the issue with the tabs and memory will be resolved. All in all, this is no revolution just another option. I don't see myself leaving Firefox anytime soon but knowing something as well designed is out there gives security to users.

Life: Weekly Review [01-Sep-2008]

I suppose it's time I gave ranting a rest and did something else.

This will be a quick run-down of the week starting Monday September 1, 2008

Monday was the start of the new academic year which will be my final year. I think that's probably why I was a little excited since I can't wait to finish college.

Tuesday was a slow day, spent most of the time in the computer lab trying to get into the frame of mind since I'll be working as a lab assistant.

Wednesday was the official start of the academic year since classes started on that day. Again I stayed in the computer lab for most of the day while chatting with friends. I also decided to delay making a rant.

Thursday...slow day again and still not much to do since none of my classes are on this day.

Friday wasn't that bad...had my first class which was interesting. It's about time they added web design as a course instead of just sticking to pure computer science with stuff like compiler design and theory of computation. But now the Friday class will be discontinued starting next week so that means there is no reason to go to school on that day. I suppose I'll work in the lab on that day as well.

Today...did laundry and played some Combat Arms and decided to stop playing since people were cheating. How noob can a person get? Then my stereo receiver started malfunctioning again so that prompted me to go back to my "Old Faithful" until I can get a new one. So now I have a Yamaha CR-700 (from the 1970s) and a 5-Band equalizer hooked up to my computer with gold-plated cables ^_^. I guess they don't make things the way they used to.

So, it's now 6:37Pm and I have nothing to do at the moment other than IM people, listen to music and get a little reading in.

Rant: OMG He/She did what?!!!!!! Are you SERIOUS?!!!! STFU plz

Everyone at one point or another is bound to find themselves in a scenario similar to the dialog below especially if you live with others.

Person A: What happened to the cake in the fridge?
Me: Uh, I ate it.
Person A: OMG!!! You did what?!!! That cake was mine!
Me: Well, I ate it so its gone now.
Person A: How could you have done that?! Why didn't you ask?
Me: It was in the fridge so and I wanted food
And at this point everything the person has to say gets turned into blah's
Person A: blah blah blah blah blah!!!
Me: ...

Whoa, who would've thought the smallest things could set someone into a crazy bitch mode?

It's alright to be upset about something but I think there's a limit to how far being upset is taken. And you'd probably think people would be able to rationally sort their problems out, right? Wrong! These lamers make a big deal out the situation. And they don't give a shit if it's in a public place. Nope, that just incites them to carry on like fucking retards.

These people need to be run over by a freight train or something equally heavy.

Before reading any further, take a look at this video

Okay, now that you've seen the video I can continue...

So, this girl in the video hits a bird while driving and totally loses it. Is she fucking serious? Oh, come on, get a fucking grip! So, she hits a bird and she feels sorry, I can understand that. But dang, that's just overdoing it. Seriously, its just going too far.

I sincerely hope that I don't meet a girl like the one in that video. It would be like a fucking living nightmare. Even her friend seemed to be wondering wtf.

I can never understand why people react in such an excessive way. Maybe they want to draw attention to themselves? If that's the case then they're nothing but lil attention whores who need something better to do with their meaningless lives.
Here's another example of a scenario that one may encounter.

A guy and a girl are having a conversation about random things
girl: so, what kind of girls do you like in terms of appearance?
guy: well, you know...I like girls with long hair, blue eyes...oh and maybe Asians too...
girl probably realizes that she doesn't fall into that group remotely
girl: omg! What?!!
guy is probably wondering what he said wrong and has a confused look on his face
guy: ...
girl: How could you like those kinds of girls?!
guy still doesn't know what went wrong since he answered the question that was asked
guy: ...

In the above scenario, the girl completely loses it and makes a huge deal out of it. There's really no point in making a big deal out of the personal preferences of anyone at all. If anyone has time to be making a big deal out of stuff like that then they should get counseling or shut the fuck up.

Okay, so maybe not everyone is like me and not everyone has a low tolerance for overreacting people but seriously these people need to calm the fuck down. I bet if they were to watch themselves after being taped they'd probably see how retarded they are when they overreact for no real reason.

Well, this just about wraps this rant up for now. Thanks for reading and hope you found it entertaining.

My Vista Experience …. And Other Stuff

First, let me just take the time to say thank you. Thank you Mr. Powell…for teaching me a very valuable lesson. Imagine I was giving you another chance to redeem yourself and you wasted it. Now I’m $500 in the hole. Asafa, please seek out Dr. Phil, you NEED help. Anyway, such is life. Congratulations to the Jamaicans for all making it to the men’s 100m finals and congratulations to Usain Bolt for winning. See video1 and video2 (in French).

But enough about that, now on to the main topic at hand. Many of you have heard about Microsoft’s recent operation system, Microsoft Vista. I have had the pleasure of trying it out back when it was in its beta and RC stages (coughs…bootleg) and I must say…it was a real experience. There weren’t enough software and drivers that supported it at the time so my initial experience wasn’t that great and at times, things were frustrating. But it wasn’t Vista’s fault. Due to this, when people asked me about it, I tell them to hold off for a while. Just long enough for software and drivers to get up to scratch. NOTE: Vista hogs memory so I recommend having at least 2GB of memory first.

Not everyone embraced Vista like I did, and so since the integration of Vista to the world, people (and this may include you as well) have been having bad experiences with Vista. Microsoft identified this and released a new operating system, Windows Mojave. You can check that out here.

So…I bought my laptop (HP Pavilion DV6770SE) and I was happy when I saw Vista on it. A little pissed with all the unnecessary services and apps running, but happy nonetheless. I eventually got everything cleaned up and I was running cool and everything. I felt like a kid opening presents on Christmas morning. But all of this happiness was crushed when I realized that the most important app I use at work gave trouble on Vista (3 out of 4 BSODs at startup) and so I had to resort to installing back XP. Recently, I was bored one Friday so I just went ahead and re-installed Vista. I had missed it too much. This time, something was different though. I mean, 1.4GB memory used at startup was something I wouldn’t stand for. So I set out on a mission to cut this down. Eventually, I had found this article about tweaking Vista which proved to be very helpful. In the end, I tweaked the hell out of my laptop, kissing Aero and the sidebar goodbye, and now memory load is 850MB at startup. Now, you might be asking yourself, “why the hell would you do such a thing like that?”. My answer to you is……I’m f**king paranoid about my memory.

I had found some other neat sites while on my mission. Vista Knowledge, a cool site about Windows Vista Desktop Customization & News. And some HD wallpaper sites too. Of course you need your desktop to look beautiful: myHDWallpaper.com, Cool HD Wallpapers and HDwallpapers.net. Here’s my desktop.

Nice and clean. I love widgets, but I love a clean desktop more.

Sigh…I will miss XP. Should be posting a part 2 eventually. Anyway, I’m gonna go watch some NFL pre-season games. Until next time.


Btw.....EPL started today. Go Manchester United.

Something I found funny: Little Girl's Funny Pronounciation Video

While browsing I came across this Video which I thought was hilarious. Its about this little girl trying to pronounce mole/freckle but she gets it totally wrong.

Short post for the weekend as usual. Have a good weekend, Peace.

Some Ideas For Making the Olympics More Interesting...

I cant believe softball is a sport at the Olympics. I think they should shoot it, spit on it, wipe the United States' ass with it then take it out of the Olympics. Here are some ideas on making some of the current and definitely more popular events.........more interesting. :-)









I swear......even aliens would tune in to watch these events.

Rant: The 2008 Olympics is upon us!

Yes people. By now you all should realize that the 2008 Olympics in Beijing has started and is well underway with China leading the USA in medals. Good for them. (Thumbs up). I just wished it was a black dude that brought in the torch in the opening ceremony. Anyway, moving right along.

For all you people who didn’t know about the Olympics, then words cannot describe how lame you are. For other persons who have been watching the games (like me), some of you if not all might be totally unsatisfied with the coverage which has been provided by the local channels (TVJ, CVM). To be blunt…the coverage f***ing sucks major ASS. I hearing bulls**t that them guy here (TVJ, CVM) come buy out rights and them come block my NBC channels. Then them showing foolishness on them. Can you imagine…them show a softball instead of men’s basketball (USA vs Angola). I mean who the f**K watches softball. Geez.

And if my spirit wasn’t already down, I read an article in the newspaper about this blood testing of the Jamaican athletes. My gosh man. People get bad mind just because the little Jamaicans breaking world record like is nothing. Would you ever stop to think that maybe…just maybe it’s because they eating up their cassava. Tyson Gay must have him fingers (and toes) crossed or something now. But alas, anything is possible and there’s nothing that I can do. Here’s the link.

On another note, my coworkers and I are having a friendly wager about the ever popular Bolt vs. Powell clash. I bet my Burger King money on Powell so I frickin’ hope he doesn’t screw up like the last 3 times. After saying that…I wonder if I made the right decision. F**k.

But in all the foolishness that has been going on, there is a little good thing to rant about. Michael “The Greatest Olympian?” Phelps. That dude has more gold than Fort Knox. He is now on a completely different plane to anyone else. I would love to just shake his a hand and congratulate him on his achievements. Then I’d whup his ass and jack his medals and sell them on ebay. Lol.

Rant: Fuck off and mind you own business asshole.

*...* How do you tell someone(not a close friend) nicely to mind their own business? How about fuck off!

The following is a rough dialog of what happened to me on various occasions.

inquisitive person: So, aren't you gonna go back to church?
Me:: i'm thinking about it
Inquisitive person: you're thinking about it?
Me: yep
Inquisitive person: what's the reason you haven't gone back?
Me: I don't wanna talk about it
Inquisitive person: I think you should talk about it
Me: why?
Inquisitive person: because I wanna know...
Me: ...

Okay? I get that you're concerned and but seriously, there is a line that shouldn't be crossed. When someone says they don't want to talk about something why they fuck do you keep bothering them hoping that they'll eventually talk?
It's people like these should be nailed to a cross and thrown in the ocean.

I honestly think its alright to ask questions but sometimes people get carried away and don't know when they're approaching that zone where the person being questioned is inclined to express their displeasure with the interrogation. So, at this point someone like myself would turn to the person and say “leave me the fuck alone,thank you.”

I've been questioned by various people who aren't particularly close to me about various things that I generally don't want to talk about with just about anyone. And the part that pisses me off the most is that they say retarded things like “I think you're hiding something from me.” Well duh, its not fucking rocket science. And since you're so intelligent, did you ever think that it may be something that you're not entitled to know about?

Another day at school, this noob who associates with my friends decides that he's gonna play match-maker and so he picks out a target (a girl I know) and fires a barrage of personal questions at her asking stuff like if she has a boyfriend and who she likes, etc. Note: The girl doesn't even talk to this noob. So after all those questions, she comes to me complaining about the barrage of questions...*Sigh*. It's like some people don't get it...Stop being fucking inquisitive! It ain't cool and doesn't get you anywhere with people.

Here's a rough idea of what happened at school one day while I'm sitting in the computer lab.

Inquisitive d00d: what you looking at online?
Me: Just some random stuff
Girl A (the target and also my friend) is at the door that's in front of the general area where i'm sitting
Inquisitive d00d: *calls the girl's name loudly*
Me: ...
Girl A: *frowns*
Inquisitive d00d waits until she's going to get her bag and then he goes and puts his arm around her and is talking to her
Me: he doesn't get it...

A few hours after that, she messages me on MSN about what happened in the lab. And she's thinking I had something to do with it. Wtf? If only people would mind their own fucking business then that would be less headaches for others.

Okay, so you want to be a savior or all-around good person for people and you probably think its alright to “interrogate” others who you may see at school, work, church or wherever but not everyone likes that. So please, do everyone a favor and mind your own fucking business,k thx bye.

Note: I have no problems when people are genuinely concerned but there's a limit to how far things should be taken and this limit varies depending on the type of person.

Lolz: Overreacting girl

So, while i browsing Digg I came across this link to a video and even now I'm still wondering wtf.

It's about this girl hitting a bird while she's driving and she ends up having a nervous breakdown. Anyway, this is the link to the video: Chick Overreacts A Little

First of all, the title "Chick Overreacts A Little" doesn't even seem appropriate in any way. Seriously, if that's what they call overreacting a little then wtf would happen if she had hit something larger like a dog? Maybe she'd just pass out?

Anyhow, just a quick post for now. Peace

Rant: STFU you Linux evangelists

*sigh*, Where do I even start? How about Shut up?!

The following is a rough dialog of what happened one day outside the main computer science lab at school.

Me: yo, what are you installing her laptop this time?
linux d00d: i'm updating gnome desktop and getting new packages.
Me: oh ok...kool. So does the wireless card work?
linux d00d: not quite. I'm gonna try ndiswrapper
Me: well good luck, because ndiswrapper doesn't always work. It didn't work for me.
So by this time the Head of the computer science department is nearby.
H.O.D: ndiswrapper doesn't work for you? is it because your incompetent?
linux d00d: hahaha
Me: huh?

Me? Incompetent? Is this dude for real? Ok, so you're the head of the Computer Science Department, I get that but wtf?
These are exactly the types of people who should be buried alive or thrown from a building.

I was told that I'm wasting my time learning C# & .Net by the same linux d00d from the dialog above. Why? Because C# is from Microsoft and its this and that and blah blah blah. Uh huh, anything you say.

About 2 weeks ago I'm at the main computer science lab again talking to a friend about my switch to .Net/C# and Vista while another linux fiend is nearby. And it became another Windows vs Linux argument during which 2 more linux fiends enter. Honestly, I'm tired of these arguments because there doesn't seem to a solution. So anyway, this new-to-linux-fiend is there trying to convince me of how great it is and how much more productive he is at work. Is that supposed to impress me? Get a life noob. He even mentioned that he doesn't know why he keeps windows on his machine. So, why not format that partition, call it a day and shut the hell up?

Another day at school again, one of the computer lab assistants had a problem with his laptop where he couldn't do much with the machine. I decided to try helping him to solve the problem. He was using Vista and basically he couldn't launch any apps or do anything so it was completely useless at that point. He mentioned that the bsod mentioned something about a problem with memory.
So, again the same linux d00d suggests that Ubuntu should be installed to fix the problem...wtf? Did he not hear that it was a memory problem. Run memtest you fucking retard. Running memtest revealed that the memory was indeed bad as suspected. The same linux d00d goes for his Debian Linux install disc as if that will actually install saying that it must install. Seriously, how retarded can a person get? Well, the installation failed as I expected.
In the end, running memtest on the individual memory modules revealed that only 1 was bad.

The thing that pisses me off the most is when a person has a problem with their computer and they are told to install linux. How about trying to fix the fucking problem first? That shouldn't be too difficult, right?

Oh yeah, this anti-Microsoft attitude has made my school (University of the West Indies) seem like a bunch of noobs where Microsoft's ImagineCup is concerned. Why? Because in that competition you have to use Microsoft tools to solve problems and apparently they're evil. So they'd prefer to do some linux stuff. What a load of shit.

I'm really tired of these Windows vs Linux threads on forums. Why don't these people do something with their meaningless lives instead of trying to win a pissing contest which at the end of the day only reveals how lame they actually are? There is no such thing as a perfect operating system in today's world. All have advantages and disadvantages, flaws, etc so just accept it and shut the fuck up.

Okay, so you love Linux and think it makes you a god. I get it but the majority of people(those who probably only use facebook, etc) don't give a shit. So do everyone a favor and just fuck off, thank you.

note: I don't hate Linux at all, in fact I was an active supporter for a short time. I just dislike the evangelists.

An Introduction

So, this is supposed to be an introduction of some sort...I think.

So, here's the deal...I'll talk about tech-related stuff, I'll rant about things I don't like and maybe I'll give some insight into the person behind the name. Just to keep it as interesting as possible. I'll even take suggestions on what to talk about as well.

Comments are welcomed
