LUG's

Ok the first time in a long time I have blogged. It seems that over the past few years I have joined a LUG and also opened a biz. And gotten alot more involved in using Linux for most of the stuff that I do.

Come on get some hardware people

Ask around and you will find that I don't use new hardware. I mean my stuff is 4 to 8 years old. But for what I do it is good. But one thing that I got above alot of the new machines that I see is I have atleast 512 of ram in ever box I have running. Right now the only box I have that has only that amount is my server, and I don't do much on that. Come on folks if you got a box that has to do more then one thing at a time put atleast a gig of ram. if you have a server then 2gig would be nice. Ram is cheap and it is one upgrade that is easy to do.

Something Special

I woke up this morning and as I am transfering things from the pockets of pants of yesterday to the pockets of pants of today, I found that I had lost my original Pentel Quicker Clicker PD345. This was a very nice pencil. The new ones have a hugh rubber grip that is just terrible. This one had the non PC metal needle used to clean out lead from the tip. So that means it was atleast 10years old. They have been out of production for atleast 7 years. Oh this is a sad day.

Zippo to that important piece of paper

I guess reading yet another blog around here and listening to that thing called NPR that I seem to think Bush is just taking that nice Zippo to the DofI. And just about everything else that has a law worth something. Hey folks Duke Cunningham just got arrested and all that for taking money. So I got to get off my ass and do something about this. I can't buy a dildo for my woman or well record a tv show on my tivo. There is a law where I live that makes the first illegal and the second is Tivo bending backwards toward the **AA. and the FCC wants to bring in a broadcast flag. and then make me recording stuff off the tv to a VHS tape illegal. If computers had not come along then the old ways of doing things might have still made sense. Just think about it now. I can now find more info on things that I like then in any other time of my life. Now I can watch tv shows from across the pond. Why is it a bad thing that it is illegal for me to get them? I mean hey folks I have found something that I want to watch. You find a way to make it nice and packaged and then have me wanting more and I will really enjoy to pay you for the content. Check this. I just got my netflix sub. Great now I can go thur and watch the stuff that interest me. Not just the stuff you want to feed me on my current tv. So what next an implant in my mind telling me what to watch? Might as well just put a 7.62x39 in the skull after that. I just find it funny now that people have found a way to trade what is interesting now everyone sees only the bad. I DLed the www.penpassion.com podcast on fountain pens the other day. Very interesting but is only for a small group of people. Yet with the internet that Gore did not invent I can listen to this type of thing. Well end of yet my second can of grapico tonight.

The road I seem to be going down

Well as I put my feet up and grab my Grapico I happen to think back over the last couple of days. I have my Irish whiskey cake at the bar I go too. Talk to the nerds there about the whole terrists thing to copy a movie and give it to a friend. Well then I go into work. While bored at my o so wonderful job I look at /. and what do I see but yet another step toward me moving out of this country. Now the ISP's want to start charging for premium bandwidth. The ISP's want to start packet preference on stuff in there own network. I understand yea it would be nice to have everything in your house but what about me that wants to connect to my server in germany. What about the fact I might or might not run a p2p app to DL legal stuff. Maybe when I do click on a link such as the www.serenityfirefly.com to DL podcast that I actually want them to get to my box and as I know of right now they are legal. well not I think with the standard package will I be able to do that. As a friend says we are moving to communism and 1984. Maybe soon you will make me work in the factory and stand in line for my bread. I understand that I live in a state where pron is not good to mail to me or the fact that women can't legally buy sex toys. But this nuts. Now there is two bodies ruling the net. Both end in AA. Well maybe alittle to much barcardi in my Grapico tonight. Everyone have fun for I am looking for a pad in Japan. Nice fast net and I might be able to do something that I want to do.

Quick there and here

Grapico is in a big beer mug tonight. well I went to Mobile this weekend. I had stuff to do down there. Well I had to take the bus on friday night. Well other then the fact the bus was two hours late to get there I did the trip ok. Very crowded bus. What I thought was funny was the three black chicks hitting on guys that where getting off the bus. But then I got to montgomery I was atleast able to get some cheap mcd's. And there was the normal white guys with beard's and Hood's on. I mean the only way to be more strange is either take your cloth's off or just be like the old white lady that was in the bus station. But was able to sleep on the trip from Montgomery to Mobile. And it seems like a good thing too. Since the 15 mins I was awake I almost had a heart attack and was almost killed a couple of times. So I don't want to know about the other 2.75 hours I was on the bus. And since I did not have any one to pick me when I got there so I got to stand there in front of the bus station. So I got to talk to many different people mostly about New Orleans and what they did not have left. But there was that small thing with the guy stealing the truck from about ten feet in front of me. But enough of that. I was able to go to the getting the fuck out of mobile party on saturday night. Really nice and bought myself alcohol for the first time in my life. You know going into the ABC and getting it. And then there was the sunday. I got down to DI. (Daphin Island) It was not bad as people would think on the east end. Yes I saw where they had parked boats and mom did have some damage but not major. And then I was taken to the west end. I am not a tall fellow but I was in a house with a waterline on the inside that was three inches above my waist. And there was already mold growing on things. And there was mud everywhere. And then there was the beach. Flat. The dunes were gone. And then I was able walk and see the oil rig. not up close but I was able to see it was a rig and it was on the beach. Well the trip back was ok. speakers in the car are blown but they produce sound. Started out listening to Irish music. And then I went to listing to Paul Anka's remakes of rock music in Big band style. And then abit of techno. Man I got to get better speakers and an ipod. Well that is enough Grapico for me.

The Other Something Else

Well I had another post planned but I have thought about something else. I once had a girl I was getting to know. LIke most things in my life it did not last long. But something she said really hit home. I get bored easy. And you know that is true. I do get bored easy. Right now I would like nothing better then to move a thousand miles from here and start over. Today I screwed up putting in a dc. Not to hard for most people. But damnit I did not let the dns zone transfer go thru. And I don't like that. I don't have anyone to learn this stuff from. And you know I would like it if at work I could have some old crap computer to do this stuff on before I kill million dollar networks. But when I do the same stuff everyday it gets old. I sit at my desk hoping something will break at a customer site just so I can go out there and fix it. No wonder I can't hold on to a relationship. Maybe it is time to start saving up so I can start over. I have had enough of the ham. There are to many ghost here now. I left this place once and came back. I don't think that I will do that again. I do know this. I got to get a better job if I am to do my part and support my woman. But then again I am a guy right and I can't take that cash with me. Maybe fix up the 67 Camaro. And to please kisea maybe buy a computer system that is not older then I am. Ouch I am guess I am really depressed tonight. Well you know as now people have more info then ever. We make more and more info. Do I think anyone is going to find this blog no. Do I care? NO. It is a nice way to let the blah of the day off. Tell the world I think my job sucks and all that stuff. And what I think of my computers and cars and well since I am nonPC what I think of the chicks of the world. Yo skin and bones put on some weight. You got to bounce when you move. Well maybe forget the cars and the chicks and the computers. I got a rem 700 I want and it would be nice to pop some caps at a range. No grapico for me tonight. I wish I had more to do. I enjoy the feeling I get when I have something helpful to add. It was just yesterday I was able to help the coder out with a rounding problem. No I did not help with the code but I knew where to ask the question. Yet today I get my ass chewed for some stupid crap. Yes I really do think it is time I change my habits again. Those people of my youth have gone. Either by me or by them it matters not but they are gone. I tell people I am into computers and that I have a job doing it but damnit I thought this would pay better. I have much thanks for the people I rent from. Not only do I have a house over my head but I have hot food and clean clothes from them. Very nice. Now only to find something or someone to kill the rest of my life with. Maybe I am not fit to be that boyfriend or husband. I don't think I would be good at it. To have to put yet another face on for someone. here it is my house. I choose to let you in. Here you have pulled a book from the shelf and are reading it. I have seen much at my young age. I have yet to see a quarter of a century go by. But here I am seems I have lived many lives. I finally stopped talking to someone I grew up with. I am now the outsider. Was it boring me I know not. But I know I did not like the feeling and wanted to be away from it. I need more people to speak to. When I had high speed I kept in many IRC channels. But when you really listen to people you hear either just pure bullshit or people just repeat the same thing. Yes I understand your fears are my fears. I want nothing but to be loved and wake up by someone special everyday. And to talk over dinner is a dream. But you would think with what some odd billions of people we would be able to find things to talk about. Here I am in the south and I see the same things everyday. And yet I feel there could be alot more. I spoke once of DRM and all that. Well with the music I like it is murder on the bank account. And yet I can't get the top 5 from that little club in hamburg,germany. It seems not to be at the local walmart. Sorry folks no comments from you. This is for me alone. I must go through the dark and black times of life. Maybe when the sun comes up tomorrow I will feel better. Maybe when the darkness comes life will be better. I will not know. OK music now. I would like to listen to some poor irish music from the teens. you know 1910's. I was at the titanic and they replayed music as one might hear from the docks. Very nice. A day that has passed never to come again. now someone might see why called this blog what I did. Either that or memory over the end of one of the Dr. Lector movies. Oh and what is this. Everyone has something to blame on something. Mine for today. I blame my bad spelling on this 11 year old keyboard. And I think it funny the more people I talk to about the RIAA and all the other groups with there shorts knotted about the illegal net transfers. Well the answers I get are well if they(producers of entertainment) would produce something worth listening to or watching maybe then I would buy it. And with this I agree. I enjoyed Dead Like Me. You think this got to stay on the air. why no. Just two seasons. And another is Nero Wolfe. just two seasons also. Maybe I have just horrible taste but I don't think so. Let people rot there brain out with what is on now. I will just go read a good book.

Start of a new week

Well I have been here another 8 hours and have gone nowhere. Noone is updating blogs so I thought I would. Lovely article on /. about HD content on monitors. Well it looks like I won't have to worry about DRM on my monitor cause it will be there weither I like it or not. Well with that I think that I will be looking into linux alot more and this LFS is looking alot better.
