To-do:
☑ Solve partial differential equations
☑ Get New Super Mario Bros. Wii to run from HDD
☑ Sleep Spend all night playing NSMB

That game is freaking awesome. Pretty hard too.
We got to world 6. :D

I'm looking at you, dukesnorre.

Migrated the laptop to Arch because I was kinda tired of having to try out xorg-server+mesa+intel-drivers combinations. It also saved me the trouble of unbloating the previous system.

Anyway, I thought it was pretty funny that after I had installed scrotwm, xfce, xinit, urxvt, firefox, etc, no one had yet pulled in xorg-server as a dependency. Mplayer -vo xv does not freeze xorg, but at first switching VTs was freezing the video card. Which was fixed by activating framebuffer (lolwtf). Oh, and as expected, dri doesn't work.

The only other thing that broke was cpufreq-utils. It refuses to switch to ondemand or conservative (switches to performance instead). Maybe it used to work because of a gentoo patch? Well, userspace works, so I installed aur/powernowd and everything is fine.

Today I'll move someone else's system from an 160gb hdd to an 1tb one with cp -Ra. Take that windows and mac users.

Edit: powernowd was unresponsive, so I'm trying it with "-p 10" which means polling every 10 msec instead of the default 1 s. I pretty much had to wait 1 second for every tab completion.

Had an algebra test today. Only slept 4 hours, but it was worth it. I'm pretty sure the euphoria I felt after it was comparable to that induced by crack cocaine. :)

Anyway, I was googling and found out that there's one person out there using my keyboard layout. Now there's two of us! :D
Anyway, he says:

! Modified progemak to drop a bit of the right-side punctuation
! rearranging.

Actually the only rearranging I did was on the keys which conflicted with colemak's letters, namely the comma, period, semicolon, and the one above O (this one was left empty, rather). So by switching the slash and minus keys, his arrangement is actually further away from pro-dvo than mine.

And then he says:

! Backspace is now caps
! TODO: Make this work with number row, useless otherwise.
!keycode 22 = Caps_Lock

I disagree. The only reason colemak lacks this switch is because of the Windows implementation issue. But it doesn't matter, because I fixed it for you.

You're welcome. :)

So yeah, I fixed it by changing the comment that told people to run it with over the us basic layout to pro-dvo instead. I grepped around share/X11/xkb/symbols and found out that pro-dvo is the only layout that retypes (casts?) the number row as "FOUR_LEVEL_ALPHABETIC" which is what I needed xmodmap to be able to do so I could make progemak's xmodmap version perfect. Unfortunately, as far as I can tell, it can't do that, which is a shame.

What is also a shame is that they dropped pro-dvo's ATM numpad implementation when they included it in Xorg, so the best I could do was to make the numbers behave correctly (print the hex letters and symbols when altgred) leaving the divide, multiply, add and subtract keys with only two levels. :|

BTW, working the numpad in the console keymap is so much easier! Instead of messing with the unnumlocked codes, it just behaves like regular keys when numlock is on, so you can easily set the codes for plain, shift, altgr and shift+altgr. XKB should do it like that too.

p.s. I also found out someone mentioned my libnet tutorial in his blog. Yay. :D
p.p.s. Loved the entry right after that one.

LOLed at my community attachment score.

Nagashima needs to cosplay less and train more. He can't kick and he punches like an amateur boxer.

Hinata was a pleasant surprise.

Sato vs Kido was the best of the night, IMO.

Kyshenko seems to be the best MAX fighter at the moment, but he needs to run some more, all the other regulars are fitter than him.

What's wrong with Souwer? He was clinching more than Buakaw. Who should have won, BTW.

Not impressed by Petrosyan yet. Let's see if Masato can put up a real fight against him.

I didn't really like the solutions at vim tips wiki.

Now just enter visual line mode, select the block of text and hit ,<char> to insert that char and ,r<char> to remove it.

These are the ones I use, but it's pretty much the same for any other line-starts-with-char comment or quote style.

p.s. don't ask me why the pipe is the only one that requires two backslashes

My root accounts are now running zsh on top of bash. Bash is still their default shell, but ~/.bashrc looks like this now:

# If running interactively, then:
if [ "$PS1" ]; then
        # try running zsh
        /bin/zsh
        if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
                exit 0
        # if zsh failed, don't exit
        else
                # aliases, completion, etc
        fi
fi

Am I forgetting something?

"I do have precognitive dreams. I once dreamed that my husband had a car accident and got hurt bad, and a few months later... he had an accident! No, he wasn't hurt at all, but the car was really damaged."

What are the odds?

Yesterday I broke up with my girlfriend. We were together for 3 years and 11 months. :/

For a while I've been kind of annoyed by wmii's performance on my laptop. If I resize a window by keyboard for example, it can take a few seconds to complete. I already had dwm there, but I felt like trying a few other tiling wms to see if I liked any better. And scrotwm drew my attention because it is written in C and uses a regular configuration file, instead of a script or the source code itself.

I needed the linux makefile from AUR to compile it, but other than that, I like it. The config file is so much easier to edit than wmii's, but it lacks a "run arbitrary program" function. The only way you can run something is through dmenu, or from a terminal, and dmenu is also very slow on the laptop. The three stack modes are nice and the resizing and moving is as fast as dwm's. On the other hand I'm not sure I prefer this "symmetrical window layout," specially on the laptop's small screen. But it doesn't really bother me.

So, it seems like a great lightweight alternative to wmii so far, something like dwm improved. Speaking of which, I'm not really getting these projects trying to be dwm, but bloated. Isn't that like forking kde to make it uglier?

Mutt developers really should add a built-in "view all tagged attachments" function.

You'll need mpack and an image viewer.

Now select the message (don't enter attach mode, i.e. don't type v) and hit A.

For the past weeks I've been exercising every single day. When I don't run I lift weights, and vice versa. Since I've been able to run at most once every couple of days, I've had a lot of weight training, and guess what, all the tendon and ligament troubles are completely gone.

I'm also attending all my classes (for the first time since high school), which is good. But then I can't bring myself to study in my spare time, which is very bad. And algebra got tired of being easy and fun and started being hard as fuck for a change. Dammit.

So I've been making some progress toward graduating and finishing my challenges for this year, but somehow I don't feel so great. Maybe it's because no one I know seems able to encourage me at all. I had an algebra test on Tuesday last week and my girlfriend gave me the hardest time because I wanted to study on Sunday instead of going to a barbecue. Being a vegetarian, barbecues aren't really that fun for me, and even though this one had potatoes and bananas, I couldn't bring myself to eat because of all the goddamn flies. I've never seen so many before. At one moment I counted 26 resting on a spot near our table. No shit.

And then I've been losing weight again from all the exercise and from what I call the flu diet (my grandma had a bad flu and I didn't eat anything she had coughed on, which means anything). One of these days I weighted below 65 kg (143.3 lb), and that is a real accomplishment for me, something I've been seeking for 4-ish years (my goal being 60 (132.3), my worst being 78 (172)). So my sister gets jealous and calls me anorexic and gives me a disgusted look every time I'm eating healthy food. I'm pretty sure my mother will react the same way once she notices I'm thinner. And my girlfriend tells me I've lost enough weight already whenever she can.

In conclusion, things aren't that great, but they aren't that bad either, and I feel like shit anyway. I also feel like not spending time with my girlfriend in a way that is new to me. And I feel like meeting someone (not implying romance, a friend is fine too) so I'll stop feeling this lonely.

I've replaced a ton 7 8 7(!) of my firefox extensions (*) with a nightly build of vimperator, and I'm loving it!

(*) editing in external editor (vim) is misbehaving, so I needed it's all text back.

Now I can save an image (;c<Right><Right><CR>) and copy the current url (y) without the mouse, and the hint system works even better than lol's. Also it fixes crap from firefox, like copying and pasting from the clipboard and X's primary buffer, and even stupid default tab behavior. Seriously, it's a whole new internet experience for me.

The only thing I can still wish for is being able to navigate the page's text with a cursor (like in w3m) and then being able to select and copy text. And maybe a text-only tab bar like vim's to replace firefox's. That's it. This extension is amazing. (inb4 "edit: I was wrong, it actually sucks")

Edit: The documentation didn't mention it, but you just have to do "i" for caret mode, "v" for visual mode, and then "y" for copying and shift-insert wherever you want to paste it. Awesome.

Myka Fox says:

Social Tip #130 - Always Double Down

I don't understand the appeal of threesomes, it seems like less sex for everybody. If you get a pizza, would you want to share it with two people, or three people?

Now imagine there's a vagina on that pizza.

Sure, the average amount of sex tends to drop due to the inefficiency of negotiating connections with new immediate partners during an n-some, however one might be interested in maximizing sex distribution, in which case a twosome is an obscenely poor choice, particularly for the lower classes.



In conclusion, either way you look at it, a threesome still beats masturbating.

Shit, no one ever listens to me. My sister has suddenly decided to press charges against my mother for psychologically abusing her as a child. There's no way that's gonna go well. She could have at least waited for me to leave the country. :/

In other news, my girlfriend is back from her trip to the US and the first thing she does is talk to me about breaking up. Actually, it was the second thing, the first one was giving me souvenirs. Anyway, it didn't happen, maybe next time. I feel I've already suffered so much because of her, now I just don't care that much. I still love her, but it's like something inside me turned into rock stone and now I can't feel stuff to the extremes I used to. I think it might have something to do with the mechanism that allows people to live their lives and not think about how crappy the world is (think hungry kids in Africa).

Classes are very hard, but at least I managed to establish a nice routine of attending every class and working out (almost) every day. I literally found a copy of What I Talk About When I Talk About Running in a bookstore, and I've started to read it, so I'm getting excited about running 6 days a week now. If I can get there, I might even complete my challenge.

Today I found a home for one of the pentium-IIIs I had lying around here (running arch now); Beastie will program in it and work on his apache+php+mysql server admin skills through ssh from his windows 7 machine. -_- He's studying computer science now, so I think I did something good by reintroducing him to non crappy software.

I've also migrated all the gentoo systems I was administering for other people to arch. By people I mean my sister and my girlfriend (who's enjoying kde4). There was a third one but it went back to windows recently. Anyway, I'm seriously liking arch and its easiness. My desktop and my laptop are still running gentoo, though. The latter is now running dwm too, wmii was too slow. :/ And speaking of OSes, my grandma migrated from win xp to vista against my advice and is now wireless-less since the drivers for two d-link sticks did not work. And I don't care.
