Oh my god! What could the subject be? We're all doomed! Who's posting this thing?!
Jun. 20th, 2005 10:33 pmOh, wait. That'd be me.
My linux CDs got here today - 14 pressed copies of it, sent to me absolutely free. Why 14? They tell you to order them in large-ish batches since it's more expensive to post CDs than to press them. Back to the story, I managed to simultaneously laugh and squee at the sight of the bubble-wrap envelope full of CDs unceremoniously stuffed into the mailbox. There's 10 x86 ones (pron. PC), 2 PPC copies (pron. Mac), and 2 AMD64 discs.
Murph managed to take his own coat off this morning... partly. He was wearing it like a cape, except it was a dirty, torn cape on the outside and he was trying to use the fuzzy lining inside for a pillow. Fortunately, he has another one that he only just fits into, until I can give his big one back.
Today, I came to the conclusion I simply must buy myself a new computer at some point. My scary 750mHz clock speed just doesn't cut it these days, as I found out trying to emulate an N64 for Majora's Mask earlier. Soooo... veeery... slooooow. Oh, and the emulation, too. The only other irritation from that is losing your items and money and sidequest states when you go back in time. Grrr. Arrg.
I think that's about it for right now. If recent form's anything to go by, I'll think of the best post ever in about ten minutes, consider editing, start Deepest Sender, open the entry for editing, and then forget what I was about to say, close the window and get myself a chocolate creme Oreo.
Actually, I might just do that last bit anyway. *advances upon fridge*
*returns*
*munch* Mmm... Where was I? Oh, yes. And then I'd forget what I was actually going to say the moment my fingers hit my keyboard so I'd just turn the volume up on a random track in Winamp and maybe even sing along. *click*
