Well, as you can probably tell by the title, I'm having BZip2 problems :P. Specifically it won't allow me to do a "bunzip2 --version 2> /dev/null" to see if it works. It outputs the --version text to stderr. The version I have is 1.0.1; if it's been fixed more recently, please tell me :). If not, does anyone know how I'd get around this problem?

And, onto my second point, the Inland Revenue can't spell. I got a "National Insurance Numbercard" today (presumably because I'm almost old enough to get a full time job). Last time I checked, "Numbercard" wasn't a word. *ahem*

UPDATE - 10:14 UK time - uncompress seems to behave like bunzip2 :(

Well, today I wasted my first mod points :).
Moderated 5 posts in an article so I would only have to remember to not post in one, then went and posted in it. As if that wasn't enough, I was replying to an AC. Damn :P.

In other news, today my karma went to excellent. woo.

UPDATE - 9:42 PM UK time: If you want to see how it looks to be a total idiot, see this screenshot.

Recently I've been reading through porn spam (if you know it's spam it's often quite funny to read what crap they put in there :P), and they seem to think that "wanker" means "penis". Example:

GIGANTIC HUGE WANKERS STUFFED IN TINY HOT HONEY HOLES

Hmm... Who do I know who is a huge wanker? I know! What are they doing in there?!?!?!

Anyway... Just find it odd... :P

Well, do you know autoconf? I sure as hell don't, but my hacked together configure scripts for bloat (CVS )...well...suck :P. I need some better ones, but I don't know how. If anyone does know how, please do!

Well... Today I got mod points for the first time. Yay. /me waits until he can meta-moderate :P

Just noticed the IM options for profiles... I also noticed that there is no MSN option. Why??? I know /. isn't exactly full of love for MS, but the fact remains that a lot of people use the IM service. Anyway, I filled in the rest ('cept Jabber), but I'd still like to see MSN :/.

Well, the latest CVS version of bloat has two scripts to change the...uhh...locations.
View the CVS...

sorry, on prednisolone, fucks with your mind, can't write much...

Anyway, the grand total of zero people who use this script should have fun...

Well, my first actual sourceforge project - basically it selects an extractor program based on filename.

Find it here: bloat

Anyone who has basic experience in Perl could write it, if anyone wants to join the team just submit code.

Next week I have work experience... Great.
Under-age, non-paid labour, 9:30am-6:00pm

Damn

(Apologies if this entry is odd, but I am currently on prednislone and that makes me write odd things...)

Well, welcome to my journal!

I guess that noone will read this anyway, but since I have it I may as well use it...

OK, content...
Uuh...
I'll get back to you on that one.
