@Colthrun with friends like you, who needs enemies? Thanks anyway

 

The sky is wetting, I'm convinced I'm being given the cold shoulder, and I can't give blood today because I've got a cold.

So much for my awesome week...

 

My internet was down this morning! Stress! Panic!

It's back, so I'm my normal self.

My dreams have been plagued by Chris Evan's naked chest. Like that's a bad thing.

 

@Ofelix: .bat files and the like. Basically, scripts (aka uncompiled programs) executable by the system. For example, .bat files are a collection of DOS commands like in command line plus a couple of script like-instructions such as goto's or if's and variables such as %1, %2, or errorlevel. In DOS times, they were used to create sort of a starting menu interface. I remember autoexec.bat files reaching several kilobytes of code or menu borders created out of ASCII characters.

 

For a laugh, type "failure" into Google and press "I feel lucky"

unexpected but fun

 

@DS - lol, funny but true


Sellotape is cool, don't you think?

 

"I recently discovered that this rock thing was true. Jerry Lee Lewis was the devil and Jesus was an architect, previous to his career as a prophet."

No, but what I recently discovered, it was last night, was that there is no 'Time' beyond semantics. It's an ease-of-use concept and not much more. Time is not a dimension, it's just a word to say something more complex.

But this means that time-travel is not possible. And I think that Time Stop should be reconsidered as well.

 

@DS: That's what friends are for.

@chev:

This reminds me of "Freedom Force 2", when Minute Man says about their base computer: "This marvel can store hundreds of kilobytes of information".

 

those were the days, eh?

 

Oh, joy; it's the best time of year and it's +25C here at Vaasa. Seagulls laughing, sun shining, and the island (Palosaari = Fire Island) pretty much empty from people. Been planning to scout out the coastline, but the best thing is that I got infected by a flu last Sunday after a swimming trip, so now I have a fricking headache and a red nose.

So no going out until feeling better. At least I can read Vampire Chronicles, study russian language, and play games. Sucks.

 

Ugrgrrhh I think I twisted my ankle yesterday and now it FREAKIN' hurt. Maybe the many L of beer I took yesterday lowered my pain sensation, but now it hurts. Meehhh....

 

Work's going slow.

 

You geek. BTW, you forgot the environement variables like %user% and crap like that that can make the job less painful.

 

I'm eating an egg and bacon Lean Stuffs (el cheapo Canadian Hot Pockets) right now.

 

Summer sucks, i've felt constantly light-headed for the past 2 days.

 

I am making pancakes! Well, a pancake. in the oven. cause my frying pan is DEAD.

 

Wow I just heard my friend's book going to get published Awesome news!

 

Ironic, Ofelix, I'm reading the book a friend of mine published some year ago, IIRC.

 

I woke up at 10:45, then got back into bed and kind of restlessly dozed for 3.5 hours. That was a waste of 3.5 hours.


Post 2006, woo!

 

I woke up too late to call into work, so I geuss I'll have to make a go of it. If I moan real loudly for long enough, they will send me home. The good news is that I am feeling somewhat better today.

In other news, I think the copy of Win 98SE I put on this stupid laptop is corrupted, it wont shut down no matter wihich way I tried, finally I just turned it off.
