pondering writing a perl app that will print DoF tables

all the DoF formulas I’ve found just don’t specify the dimensions involved.

#

blah Generation Kill has recaps with inapropriate twanging guitars, totally out of tune with rest of the show

the whole “Lloyds is pants” password saga is deeply disturbing. Why were the passwords EVER in plaintext???

Mothership SMTP server adds stupid email disclaimer to every mail it processes, including logmails and emails to users

“No Blue Skies” is the ultimate she dumped me song

link

what ruby version should I install from ports? 1.8 or 1.9?

link

#

1.8 it is!

link

#

putting my head down, avoiding the lures of IRC

link

#

I feel the tug of the non-existent irssi window in my secondary screen. Be strong, you can beat this addiction!

link

#

Autumn on its way… Sad

link

#

Overslept, still have plenty of time though. Reviewing what stuff to sell

Dang, forgot my ipod. So much harder to suffer fools
