And don’t it feel good
The fruits of my exploration of the Internet from this passed week:
- Ratty’s Ghost - A well-written blog that came to my attention from this delicious slime mold post.
- Seen On Slash - You all know I spend unhealthy amounts of time on Slashdot - so do the people who post on this website. This is a repository of gems found in Slashdot thread comments.
- Seditious Industrial Press - A recent addition to my list of followed webcomics. Featuring a distinctive art style and atmosphere, it holds a lot of potential. (Found from an under-dugg digg.)
- Linuxcaffe - A cafe, in the heart of Toronto, open in full open source spirit. (Found from a well-dugg digg.)
The .plan for this week (the school-less reading week):
- Throw monkey feces at Rogers until they submit to letting me use my ebay-bought cable modem.
- Complete my Web-dev class’s assignment, spend some time giggling, then begin studying for midterms.
- Change the spacing between list items on this site (hopefully will be complete by the time you read this).
Untitled generic update
I can’t top those sexy brain pictures from the previous post, so I’m not going to bother. Instead, I’m going to tell you about what shows I started watching lately:
- Scrubs; it’s cute, amusing, fun to watch. Almost like a kids’ version of House (actually, it’s nothing like it at all).
- The Office; why wont Jim just go up to Pam, push everything off of the receptionist partition-desk hybrid thing (do they have a name?), pull her up and consummate right there and then? I don’t know, but I’m going to have to keep watching until they do just that.
On the shazow.net forefront, I’ve GPL’d all the sourcecode but haven’t gotten around to putting it up. Why don’t I do it now? Don’t know, same reason I didn’t do it before. Does anyone really want it? No? Well then, no rush, is there?
I’ve been spending a lot of time with Wiki-style formatting, it’s delicious. Future revisions of shazow.net will definitely include such syntax.
I need somewhere to put these, so they’re going here:
- The table of equivalents / replacements / analogs of Windows software in Linux; (a bit outdated) useful resource for linux-convertees.
- Linux Gamer Guide - Game List; for bored linux users (who are sick of running Windows games).
A Did You Know? moment, brought to you by IMDb:
Remember Bruce Almighty starring Jim Carrey and Jennifer Aniston? Turns out that there’s a sequal in the works, Evan Almighty, starring none other than Steve Carell from The Office (and once upon a time, The Daily Show).
“God somehow contacts Evan (Carell) to build an ark in preparation for a great flood.“
Sounds fun!
