In the meantime... pizza delivery people: what's up with that? The guy got pissed off because he had to drive 3 miles, my pizza didn't arrive til an hour and a half later, and then it's cold. And the most he does is give me $5 off?

What happened to service?

Here are some useful things I've learned as a techie bachelor living by himself. Geeks still living in their parents' basement need not apply. (And I just pissed off about half of Slashdot. ;)

As SolemnDragon says this is my journal, do what I want. It's pretty much what most of the rest of you said as well, I think what Sol had to say was pretty eloquent.

Weekly Recap(tm): Because enquiring geeks wanna know!

Will someone please tell the stupid fscking Slashbots that hard drives are NOT a reliable means of backup because they don

Wow. Someone offered me money for my account. Apparently I have a low UID. Like it matters all that much. When I started, my UID was high. Now it's low. Whatever. How much are they getting for accounts with low UIDs and karma capped at "excellent" these days? Should I sell it? It's not like I need the money, but hey, a new PC *would* be nice. :)

Okay...here's the scoop: I have given up. After becoming wayyy to embroiled in family politics and ending up physically ill over it, I and the sorta-cousin, sorta-pregnant, sorta-girlfriend girl have mutually decided to give up. So there ya go. I am now searching for new love interests once again, there's no turning back this time. :)

She used those three magic (or magick, depending on how you look at it ;) words ... "I love you."

I have no cares in the world today. The sun in shining, the trees are whistling in the breeze, birds are chirping.

Yet, who knows what tomorrow has in store? And -- yet -- isn't that the point? :-)

I know you ALL LOOK CONFUSED NOW. That's okay, though. :)
