love my computer: October 2003 Archives

i am so barely online. my computer is in my car and it doesn't even have a table to sit on yet and a bookshelf has to be moved first and it can't come in without a table which would go where the bookcase is which is full of books, and my computer is in my car have i mentioned i'm on my roommates scary unfamiliar computer it doesn't like me i can feel its animosity towards me my computer loves me, have i mentioned my computer is not hooked up to anything at all it's ... it's in my car? because it is.

hold me i'm scared.

the cable internet is configured for USB but it has to be uninstalled reinstalled to use ethernet and then the 1.45.6 (or maybe .7 or maybe downgrade to 1.44 or was it 1.42 ) Official Firmware on the BEFSR41 has to be upgraded (flashed) re: known issues with adelphia service there were people who couldn't make it run others reported their routers 'happy as drunken squirrels' i do not think i want my router drunk or squirrely. i may be wrong.

without internet into my computer i have 20 email accounts or some shit yeah yeah i know don't even go there i need them ok there are reasons good ones but i can't check them webmail it would take all night / day / week / i'm dead without my email / i don't give a fuck. she thinks i'll break the computer and you know what? i will. i usually do break things before i fix them i see this as no exception except this time with external panic source double my pleasure double my fun fuck i don't really care anymore and you know what else? what the problem is? fucking end users. yeah i'm one sure sure in some ways yeah i am but then again not really and anyway i'm talking about the end users i have lived with throughout my tech career i mean end users that see everything i do computing as some frivolous something nevermind the fact everything i do is everything i've learned and everything i will and there are people who will never understand and they do their level best to help me spend more time off the computer and then wonder why i don't make enough money and in fact suspect i actually do not make any money. yeah. and so i'm damned if i do and screwed if i don't and i don't give a fuck anymore.

you know how when i'm fussy & bummed how you all tell me how talented and whatnot i am well there are people who no matter how hard i try to convey that have no idea will never have one don't see and won't see what my internet friends see and so they react to any minute i spend on a computer like i'm just playing not doing anything worthwhile because you know it's if it's fun i should either get off the computer or do something unfun on it? i don't get it and i don't give a fuck anymore.

you know how you're supposed to find something you love to do and find a way to get paid for it? don't do it. fuck it. everyone will accuse you of fucking goofing off and tell you you spend too much time doing what you love and you should go spend more time doing shit you don't love.

i'm not antisocial they're antitechnical.

have i mentioned i just don't give a fuck anymore? because i don't. give a fuck. anymore.

i mean it. really. clutch your slimy little thoraxes and keel over already. may as well, considering the epic amount of geekery being directed in your direction at the moment. yeppers, may as well give up and go away quietly. oh sure, it ain't over yet, but let's just say the big-boned lady is warming up backstage, ya dig?

ok, yeah, i have some issues with this. issues. i have issues. and can i mix an obfuscated metaphor or two, or what? sorry, i'm a little woozy from life & stuff. but i'm up for this, oh you betcha.

in english:
Jay Allen has written a plugin.

here is more information on my plans for world domination the implementation of this plugin on this server. i was a little babbly there too, but i've linked the documentation (it'll say "related article" at the bottom of the post, that's the stuff)

the lizard would rather we skip the forking, if that's alright with you.

you asked for understanding, whereas the lizard is as usual faking the holy living shit out of everything and therefore, your answer:

rss feeds are the technological embodiment of the fundamental interconnectedness of all things. rss feeds the lizard within with its endless unquenched thirst for ... things. and stuff. if you listen closely and you can almost hear the songs the pings sing as they travel, light or wired or not . the music of the sockets must be composed and played with the utmost precision, dissonance in this case produces disconnection, and whatever is lost in the process drifts into the blackhole of dev/null, perhaps leaving you knowing naught what might have been, perhaps not -- you just never fucking know.

i also sent you an email, there is an insignificant but relentless small hope it made a little sense?

okay, so, so, there was ... i ... had a little ... and then i ... i couldn't stop ...

liz� -- more gratuitous DHTML than you can shake a stick at. but damn, that dynamic movable resizable scrollable menu window dealy is hot. and the pages load like greased ... lightning.

and there's a link (in the dropdown menu, mouseover the logo for that) to use the old style page, but trust me -- this one's better. it has more widgets. it has to be better.

so if you get an official looking email from microsoft telling you to run the attached file, it's not from microsoft. it's a virus writer social engineering you into installing a worm/virus on your computer. it's the easiest way, you know, get people to do it to themselves, that way it cuts down on the code you have to write. more information here

beware social engineering.
