Halloween. Sly does it. Tiptoe catspaws. Slide and creep. But why? What for? How? Who? When! Where did it all begin? “You don’t know, do you?” asks Carapace Clavicle Moundshroud climbing out of the pile of leaves under the Halloween Tree. “You don’t really know!” —Ray Bradbury, The Halloween Tree we’re gonna have a halloween…
i was not able to watch the cool trailers on apple.com/trailers tonight. bummer! i’ve already installed (via apt-get) the plugin to fix this.. . no luck! googled for a fix and i find out in a matter of seconds that i’m not the only one with this problem. this one even goes way back in…
23 seconds. this is the fastest boot-up time i’ve attained so far, not including X-server + KDM start up time. the 2 alone takes another 20 seconds, the latter taking up the most time to initialize. bootchart only keeps track of the boot time before X starts. give or take a second or two, my…

partying has never been this crazy for me! at least not like this.. . and it is, by far, the longest one i have had. come to think of it, this is just no ordinary party. this is the party in NeverWinter Nights 2. a party of five individuals that would highly unlikely come together…

(yes it’s happened to me a few times.. .) well thank the heavens it has this Auto Recovery thing. but wait! that document you were editing wasn’t really important. it was just a test document. so before…

Neverwinter Nights – my battle Warlock polymorphs into a huge horned demon with the massive wingspan, razor-sharp claws, leathery hide and all.. . would be kewl if it could spew out fire, but then that would be a dragon already. LOLz! 😀 Word of Changing Caster Level(s): Warlock 4 Invocation Type: Dark Spell Level…
our morning tour was led by a lady named You. that is how it is spelled according to this Miss You. and as she jokingly said, “you can call me by my first name (which i forgot), or by my last name You. so you can just say, Hey You!” it was her poor attempt…
my coffee addiction has hit an all time high in terms of peculiarity, today. or is it an all time low in terms of stupidity? errr.. .let’s stick to peculiar. my thirst for the dark-hued wake-upper has gone down to drinking it from a bowl. yes! and a cheap plastic bowl at that! like one…
