After years of research, I finally found The Stupidest Comment On The Internetz™:

"So I guess you really want to go back to the iron age
if this file sharing keeps up that is where we will be in 10 years"

Wow. I felt stupid just for copying and pasting it.

Shit. I need to read harder. :/
Btw, can anyone recommend me some Agatha Christie novels?

Yesterday I did 7 km (4.35 mi) in 56 minutes. Yay :D

And I'm totally loving the Olympics so far, even though it's messing up my sleep.

Let's pretend I posted this yesterday :DD

So I was browsing wikipedia when I stumbled upon this:

"Each year, citizens were assessed based on the number of merit points earned through their successes — in academia, for works or art, for business ventures, and so on — and the top names were appointed to the council. The council had a role encompassing legislative, judicial and executive functions. They elected a Doge, on the understanding that any councillor who voted to appoint a Doge who took Venice to war and lost would, with that Doge, be put to death."

Now, that's some good law making if I ever saw it. I would leave the loosing part out, though.

I have a new life goal: being able to run 16 km (10 mi) a day. I was watching a Rocky Marciano sort-of documentary and that stuff got me depressed. If a 85+ kg (187+ lb) dude can do it, then I should be able to do it too, dammit.

On Tuesday I was able to run 5.6 km (3.5 mi) in 44 minutes, so I'm going to work on my resistance until I can do 10 km (6.2 mi) in 1h20, and then start increasing my speed. I'm glad that, thanks to DDR, my heart is taking it quite well at this point and my legs are the ones holding me back, because leg muscles are much easier to improve. :D

And in other news, I've finally joined the ASoIaF forums at westeros.org, which means it has now officially replaced Harry Potter as the series that I'll waste huge amounts of time and brain space on. Yay! :D

Have you guys gone firefox 3 yet? I haven't and that's part of the reason I have to index this stuff.

This is getting ridiculous. Every time I wash my hands I have to spend the next 10 minutes warming them up, because it is so freaking cold! We've been getting temperatures around 5 to 15 °C (~40 to 60 °F) every night and cold wind non stop. You guys must think that that isn't cold at all, but keep in mind we don't have any sort of heating and our clothes are not designed for these temperatures. A couple of friends have told me they've been double dressing, like wearing two pants and two coats, while inside their own houses. XD

Anyway, yesterday we played Rival Schools, aka Shiritsu Justice Gakuen, aka the most awesome fighting game ever made, which was definitely the best video game playing I did this year. :DD I learned that on the psx I'm still pretty good, but on pcsx, not so much. XD We also played scrabble. I pretty much just watched, but it was my first contact with it and I liked it. :)

On Saturday I made my girlfriend watch the X files' first episode with me. She had a pretty bad impression of it, so I needed to change that. I never watched the whole thing myself, just random eps here and there, and I was pleasantly surprised. That is one nice pilot right there. It wasn't rushed at all like most pilots are, and the character introductions were nicely excused IMO. It felt more like a short movie than a tv show. :) And it made me want to get the rest of the first season. :D Also, Mulder was so much fun. He's so passionate and funny and always one step ahead of Scully, lol.

Btw, what's up with Scully going "Time is an universal invariance!" half an hour after we learn she wrote a thesis on relativity, wtf?

So, apparently, this is how you turn Warsow's CA into Rocket Arena:

set g_ca_armor "100"
set g_ca_strong_ammo "10 100 20 50 100 150 50" // GB RG GL RL PG LG EB
set g_ca_weak_ammo "0 0 0 0 0 0 0" // gb rg gl rl pg lg eb
set g_ca_weapons "16256 16256 16256 16256"

Since I can't get anyone to try it out ("What? A FPS with no vehicles??" =_=), I played a bit with some bots. I really like Warsow's physics, though I'm still pretty bad with the bunny jumping. I hope I can get it with a bit of practice, because the days I would spend hours in Defrag training a single jump are long gone. :D

It's kinda sad that the EB (aka the railgun) is so weak now, but at least the rocket is still good. Now I just have to figure out how to turn off the gunblade's reload so I can use it like the gauntlet. Btw, their forums are not as helpful as one might hope.

Oh, I also redid my config file. Now I have:

Forward - mouse2
Back - mouse3
Left - S
Right - F
Special - A
Crouch - V
Jump - Space

Gauntlet/GB - D
Shotgun/RG - 4
Gren Launcher - Q
Rocket Launcher - W
Plasma - G
Shaft/LG - R
Railgun/EB - E

It's weird, but it works.

In other news, it's been really cold and dry here, which is the worst combination IMO, and it will probably only get worse until September. I've been playing a lot of Mario Kart DS (I can play on 100cc now XD), and listening to Rhapsody and Nightwish. I'm in a rock mood lately, but I can't find any new bands that I like, so I have to go back to trying new metal genres. I was also supposed to be reading, but the laziness has got me and won't let go. XD

My vacation so far is made of running errands and playing video games. XD

From vicious_lullaby:

I'm afraid of 18 out of 72 common fears:

( Heights and derivatives :D )

If you get more than 30, I strongly recommend some counseling.
If you get more than 20, you’re paranoid.
If you get 10-20, you are normal.
If you get 10 or less, you’re fearless.
People who don’t have any are liars.

Yay, I'm normal :D
[X] not being normal
Final Total: 19
Damn XD


From summersdream:

Below is the Entertainment Weekly's list of 100 Classic Movies of the past 25 years. Bold the ones you've seen, underline the ones you plan to, strike out the ones you HATE and refuse to watch ever again.

( Never say never, right? )

37/100
Over one third, yay :D


And this one from dukesnorre:

The Big Read reckons that the average adult has only read 6 of the top 100 books they've printed. Well, let's see.

1. Look at the list and bold those you have read.
2. Italicize those you intend to read.
3. Underline the books you LOVE.
4. Reprint this list in your own LJ so we can try and track down these people who've read 6 and force books upon them ;-)"

( Not too disappointing, I hope )

11/100
But if I count each book separately, it's 22 :D

I got perfect score on my physics test!! XDDDD

My finals are over! :DDD

Yay!

Today I replaced my increasingly noisy stock cpu fan with an artic cooling alpine 7 I had bought a while ago. Best. Decision. Ever. Oh, I also started using the cpu's frequency scaling functionality. I have no idea of how I managed to survive without it until now.

It's weird that five years ago I could listen to a whole album encoded in 48 kbps mp3 and not notice anything, and today I'll use flac and listen to it through my stereo. That same thing has also kind of happened to images too, and it's one of the reasons I haven't got a LCD screen yet (damn you, jpeg). But when it comes to my ears, it's not only a matter of attention to detail, they really are getting more sensitive.

I used to own an athlon xp 3000+, which heats up as much as a space bus entering hell's atmosphere, so you can guess how loud the fan was, and I left it on while I slept almost every night. I usually even had the case open. Now I can't sleep listening to Beethoven on a really low volume. WTF.

And of course computers can be loud and all, but let's not forget my new two archenemies: traffic and construction. The building next to mine is having work done on its pipes or something. So everyday the workers come out several times to dump all the pieces of brick and cement into this large metal trash can they use for those things. It feels like they are throwing those bricks on my head. T_T

Speaking of pain, I think I've got some mild infection on my left year. I seem to be unable to keep water from getting inside whenever I take a shower. u_u

I got a PIU mat yesterday! Mwahaha!
You have no idea how hard it is to find one here :(
Btw, playing PIU for a couple of hours and then switching to DDR can break your brain.

Also, I've uploaded the video mentioned in my last post over here. :)
(it's a 30 MB avi, 1991 kbps xvid, 64 kbps mp3)

Turns out this song is even easier than the Rockafeller Skank once you get the stamina to play it several times in a row :D

There's a video, but I'm not sure if I'm going to upload it.
Edit: uploaded, link is here.

PS: Dial-up users: I'm sorry!
PS2: Search for that song performed by Unit R on youtube, it's awesome :D

One of the things I hate the most is trying really hard to accomplish something and then failing. Actually I have a big problem with failure. If I don't see great chances of being successful at something, I can't usually bring myself to even try it.

Two weeks ago we received another computer networks assignment, and once again we had to figure it all out by ourselves. The only sources I was able to find were a great book, except for being totally useless in this case, and two tutorials found on google. Just two, and not very detailed. And then there were the man pages too.

I'm fucking in love with this album.
