Keo's Box

Chicken Nuggets. More so with dipping sauce.

I get distracted.

Not sure if anyone else ever has the urge for a cheeseburger at 3AM, but I sure as hell did. I acted on this impulse. Now I am full of food and content once again, with no reason to rip WireWulf's head off for poor spelling and grammar usage.

I wonder if anyone else ever notices the abhorrent decline in proper spelling and grammar usage. Sure, if you're from Italy or somewhere and hardly ever have a use for English, it's perfectly fine that your English is broken. Points for trying.

What's amazing though, is someone who's a native English speaker, any age from 10-25 has absolutely NO ability to spell whatsoever! Didn't these people have to pass a class or four in their native language to even graduate? Unless, of course they're a dropout and somehow able to get their own computer to dick about with.

Another piece of this that gets me is the "text talk". "I only use it because it's faster" "It's the internet, nobody cares if you shorten a word up" "I don't want to type out you, it's too much work." Laziness. All of it. You have a full keyboard in front of you, why can't you type two extra letters? Hell, you're already in that area of the keyboard, not like the letters are in a row or anything. Even with modern cell phones that have the whole keyboard, there's no need for text talk. Use T9, or just enlighten yourself and those you converse with in texts by using proper English. (Oh god, proper English?! This man is insane!)

Americans are so damned lazy, they're really the ones that do this. It's rare in the UK or Canada, hell, even the French are smart enough not to do it. It's all a part of "modernizing". Why tune a dial by hand, when you can push a button and it'll do it for you? Why bother walking ten feet to ask someone for something, or yell over to them when you can send a text message? All of this will be our downfall. Forget nuclear war, forget plagues or famine, or even running out of resources. It'll be our own fat asses that kill us in the end, because nobody will want to get up and do anything for themselves. I could put an Ubuntu reference here to reflect my hatred in that, and I think I just have unknowingly.

Basically, we're going to end up in another three/four generations with dumb children that sit and "tlk like dis in a papr for class cause itz da way dey all speek cause der parentz didnt stay in skool" And they'll fucking ace it. I think that's the worst part in all of it.

(Also, adding an e to words that don't need it drives me fucking insane. I want to kill everyone who does it. EX: glamorouse, hilariouse, stupendouse. You must die in a fire. Or eight fires.)

Ever more does my faith in humanity decline.

Good LORD.

Fatal Exception in method Laundry.dryer()

Apparently, someone left their clothes with oil on them in the dryer on full blast.

Not only that, they decided to do it under the dryer I was using.

The guy next door knocks on the wall and yells "Hey, I think your dryer is smoking by the way."

Of course, I live on the third floor north. The laundry room is in the basement on the south side.

I think I knocked over ten people and jumped down an entire flight of stairs in my quest to get there by tearing through the hall as fast as possible.

I think someone was smoking weed outside too, because I could smell SOMETHING funny from the air vent...

I feel like I'm the only person who ever uses Debian anymore. It's always the excuse: "Well, I never have any time to put up with playing with packages and x y z blah blah blah."

And yet you use Ubuntu? Sad face.

I hate Ubuntu. HATE. It's a cheap knockoff of Debian, and their "just works" promise is a bunch of bullshit. My EEE1000HD's wireless STILL never works right in it, even if I use the madwifi driver. Mac OS fucking X can use it, why the hell can't those thick ubuntufags figure it out?

They ask "Well, does it work?" and I reply "Yes, but barely. I get a 20b/s download rate and I drop from IRC all of the time, if you haven't noticed." They reply: "Seems like it's working fine to me."

... Burn in hell, it works fucking astoundingly in Debian. I can leech a 300MB file off the campus net in five minutes. Less if it's at 3AM.

There's also the bloat of Ubuntu. It takes a long time to boot from a LiveCD, almost as long from a HD. It's their huge fucking kernel that does it. Sure, you're not paying $200 for it, but it's getting as bad as Windows is. At least Windows 7 "just works". If you want a true "just works" computer, buy a Mac and shut the hell up.

Don't get me wrong, I'm all for new linux users, but when you throw them into an unsecure system that's bloated and usually has problems... I'm sure Ubuntu has scared off more people than it's helped move to Linux.

I'll light the sudo command on fire at a later time. I really don't feel like getting after it right now.

Here I find myself sitting in the #puppylinux channel again on Freenode, watching the brainless goons chatter.

No matter how much I hate/like them, they're still fun people to watch banter back and forth.

There are a couple of users I'm weary of, but at this point in time I don't give 2/3 of a shit.

Damn I love the enter key. Without it, I would feel like there's no order in my life. It gives me such organization power.

I've been listening to the Nico Nico Medley: Final Mix... All night so far. I'll be able to sing it by 4:00 at this rate.

Someone occasionally whack me to update this thing. I don't want this to become a blog of apologies for not posting more.

I've finally done it. Yes, that's right. I've got a fuckin' BLOG.

Guess how much it's going to get posted upon?
