Why the hell am I still seeing Christmas ads? This is freaking bizarre, isn’t it bad enough they start before Thanksgiving, now they are keeping them past Christmas? Idiots.
I am studying for a upcoming Calc exam late this week. I figure it has been a few hours, I will take a break for a little while… The wood that my speakers is attached to are making an annoying noise hitting something else at certain frequencies (and volumes, heh heh). I haven’t listened to this CD in a while, it is still damn good.. :P
A bunch of people, including My Roommate, Jon Parise went skiing today. I am disappointed I couldn’t go, but I was trying to be responsible by staying home and using that time to prepare for the exam on Thursday…
One might ask why, upon waking this morning, I had to change my gateway to point to CSH’s HSRP interface on the router? One would think that hell, that should all be transparent. That I should continue to have .254 set as my gateway and that HSRP would take care of any mess if necessary.
One would think that if there wasn’t a gigantic freaking idiot at the helm.
But, don’t worry…. I am sure there is currently a trouble ticket open at Cisco…..
A bunch of us went out to see Traffic this evening. It was a good film, but it also had weak points. Ethan and I disagreed over the camera work. He commended it, while I thought it was distracting at times. The story was behaved, sticking fairly close to the ‘happy ending’ you are secretly hoping doesn’t happen.
I am sitting in the BeNews database waiting to authorize an important story, but the other editor is taking his time (which isn’t a bad thing). I am anxious to get it up.. :P
Went to my morning class today, in the snow, and let me tell you, it was well worth it. That class is like novocaine for your mind. Jon is still in bed; I have been trying to be quiet as to let him rest as best as he can, but I am sure that I have unsettled him.. Not much I can do about that…
I have been working on a python module for interacting with drink. Part of reason is that Jon hasn’t been able to get PHP to do sockets right under Solaris (I don’t think it is a high priority for him), and I want a web client for Drink. The other reason is because I wanted to learn the language beyond my fundamental understanding that I had gleaned from seminars at CSH. It is a neat language, and far better than perl, but I don’t see myself using it for some of the more wack uses (like GUI programming).
You are watching a movie, and in the movie, there is a picture of one of the characters in their youth. Now, sometimes, this is a picture of some random guy. Other times, however, it is obviously a picture of the actor him/herself (from days of yore). Even more confusing, is that sometimes, the picture is obviously the actor, with ANOTHER one of the actors from the film.
How the hell do they do this? I presume that it would be pretty easy to do with one actor, since you could just pick some picture from their past. But two actors? What are the odds that not only did these two actors chill in their youth, but that pictures were taken?
Now, I can think of a few ways to handle this situation. You could Photoshop two different pictures together, to create a faked picture of the actors together… You could get some damn fine lookalikes to pose…
My nose has a really nasty, annoying, zit on it. I never really have problems with acne, but every once in a while I get a real annoying one in a particularly conspicuous place… It really sucks. :P
Some piece of shit down the hall interrupted my sleeping in with some lousy music. I am gonna have to kick some ass.
Sorry if you were on the blunt end of my bitchiness today, I am simply in a bad mood, and while I am not “taking it out on you”, you are just a casulty of crabbiness.
If you are ever curious as to what temperature it is in my room, visit http://kobe.rh.rit.edu/. It is a webserver running on my TINI board. It gets the temperature from a Thermometer iButton.
