Journal Journal: War is Peace

The Commander-in-Chief read his buzzword-sprinkled State of the Union speech somewhat adequately last night, as you may remember.
I eased the pain by chatting on The Independent Media Center IRC, making MST3K-like comments throughout. It was nicely cathartic.

Hope this one makes it into some history books, or at least a few amusing protest signs:

Journal Journal: Diane, 6:47 Ante Meridian

In bed, awake too early. Nervous about my little job interview with PCC today. Life is rather silly at times. Fell asleep last night after we got home, and we didn't even get the chance to watch pirated Twin Peaks episodes which were mysteriously downloaded by the gnomes of zurich last night, as they utilized Kazaa. I was so excited to watch the stuff all last night, but sleepy feelings get the best of us all.

Journal Journal: Hey Bulldog

I'm sitting in a vat of self-drugged Rhesus monkeys. Each more alike than the last. We are all covered with fleas, scratching and pawing at one another, and tribes begin to form. Over the years, our tribes spread further and further out-- we get better and better at killing one another, and slowly stand upright. My friends' heads seem to be bulging with the passing centuries.

Journal Journal: On Hacking Kazaa

It's just barely hacking, but there's a great free program I blindly downloaded and installed after a particularily productive Google search (Sparky at my side, I felt like a true Ubergeek for one brief, shining moment [we use Kazaa to get old episodes of Twin Peaks])

Here's the URL, Chief:

There are just 4 simple buttons/options:

Journal Journal: Crtl-V (written yesterday, Eric Blair's birthday 2003)

Random thoughts from meatspace, the real world, where I have my laptop
handy, but no wired vibes from cyberspace.

Is that Mondo 2000 enough for you?

So, I'm at or around http://faloona.net... or else I'm drifting toward,
away from, http://seattle.indymedia.org .

Thoughts of deep importance:

Journal Journal: Explaining Slashdot to My Girlfriend

On an amusing note: last night after we saw Die Another Day (don't bother, it will be on cable eventually), I got off on some damn fool rant about the Transmetropolitan movie which me & Radagast might eventually write... anyhow, I said something about Slashdot... then I had a culture shock for about 30 minutes. Sylvia has never visited /. and she had no idea what I was blathering on about. Same planet, different worlds.

Sparky is headed home soon, to help me run errands before she goes to work.

Journal Journal: Tech Blog Nonsense

Here I sit in the BrodeCo office again, chewing thoughtfully on a pizza crust... taking the occasional bong hit, and munching chips while surfing around on slashdot. Waiting for slackware to download (still). Basically, WinXP crashes or otherwise fucks up the download each time...
My girlfriend is allegedly going to buy 4 new sticks of RAM for our computer-- probably by tomorrow. Huzzah for t

Monitor: AST Vision 5L
Printer: HP psc 2110 all-in-one (very tempermental)
OS: Windows XP, sadly (am downloading slackware-8.1-install-iso right now, but XP crashes mysteriously whenever Slack is about to arrive on my Desktop. http://subgenius.com for less info)
There's a Sony monitor sitting next to the AST (which I'm looking at)... but I'd need to be in a better mood to install it or even think about it before tomorrow (we're giving our friend Luke the monitor back ASAP)
