Some people didn’t believe me when I said that BSD is far cooler than Linux. Now I have proof.

“If you are not a BSD or Linux user, then this one will be easy. Just take our word for it that the truely el33t use BSD and not Linux. If you’re a Linux user, you have to access that place deep deep down. You know where I’m talking about, that one little place in your heart that you don’t talk about at parties. The place where those doubts about yourself creep in, where you feel (secretly) that FreeBSD and OpenBSD are too intimidating, so you use Linux. You have to access that part and feel deep down inside that BSD is in fact technically superior to Linux. Even just a little bit. And you don’t have to tell anyone.“

A conversation online:

Daniel: Hehe
Daniel: I just trashed Hawaii.
Unxmaal: Howso?
Daniel: Hurricane Daniel
Unxmaal: Oh really?
Daniel: Yea.
Daniel: I got downgraded to a tropical storm and missed the main island, but… I was tossing seamen all over the place.

Ahh, more updates: As some of you have noticed, I’ve gotten rid of nasty underlines in the link boxes. I’ve also created an easy way to get to Archives, over on the left side. Also, I’ve noticed that this page looks like absolute crap in Netscape 4.x . For those *NIX users, I suggest downloading Opera or Mozilla. You get what you pay for.

Hmmm… here’s some interesting Terminator 3 rumors: Apparently, director James Cameron may come back to do the flick after the completion of Hannibal. It also appears that the cast from the first two movies may be involved, including Arnie, Linda, and Edward.

More: “Based on previously reported info, the third film’s story will be set in the present day and will focus on the first battle between humanity and Skynet, which paves the way for the major war to come.”

And if tarantulas aren’t an appropriate gift for your boss or loved one, why not get them their own personalized corpse? It’s non-stop fun for the whole family!

As long as we’re posting wacky dreams, check out this one. Not quite as surreal as Kevi’s, but pretty terrifying for me. I get lost often enough, but it’s always very disquieting when I do.

That link represents the first dynamically generated content on my site. Not much to look at, but it’s pulled out of a database, as the whole thing eventually will be.

While browsing the profiles at Flame Warriors, I couldn’t help but conjure names of friends and other net.people I’ve met, particularly on usenet…

Julia’s Journal is another cleanly-designed weblog that I’ve stumbled across. It’s very easy to read, and, since green is my favorite color, I enjoy wandering through it. Plus, Julia has Neal Stephenson on her reading list. Swoon!

I’m sorry, I have a one track mind when it comes to Working Designs and their Anton Arcane-like perversions of perfectly wonderful video games.
I’ve played about 45 minutes of a game called “Vanguard Bandits,” today. It is a competent, if dated, Strategy game, involving
giant robots in a fantasy type setting. Lame when compared to say, Front Mission 3, but it could have been so much more.

I will admit, I chuckled when I killed an Enemy “ATAC” and they shouted, “Calgon, take me away!” or when my character shouted an attack;“Judo CHOP!” and “Take off, you hoser, Eh.”…

Rant

Are we reaching a new level of consequence?
With the rise of trackable communication, I’ve seen more and more abuses of courtesy, starting with CallerID and extending to the Net at large. When CallerID was first introduced, woe be to those who misdialed a number, for they could be sure to receive an angry return call from whichever repressed moron disturbed from watching Geraldo by an accidental phone call. It appears with the spread of Instant-Message clients to the masses, the insipid and stupid have gained this technology as well, and are abusing it just as they have abused telephone products.
