I forgot my keys at home today... I realized it when I was halfway to work. Didn't want to go back, if Ranc had left already it would be wasting my time. So I just figure I'd walk around a bit after work, until he comes home. But no, my luck would have it otherwise. Today is the day where he's going out to eat with his work... so he's home late. Fuck it!.... I'll try and ruffle up a friend, see if I can hang out with him for a while. Damn keys. Left my phone as well. I dunno why I do that. It's like a brainlapse. I wasn't even in a hurry or anything. Oh well.

On a seperate note, I'm laughing my ass off from this clip. I mean, wtf...

I decided, this weekend, that I might as well try out an installation of Linux on my box. I've messed around with FreeBSD quite a bit back in the days, but mostly as a server based software, and since I always let too much time pass between sessions, I kept forgetting valuable things. I've been meaning to set up a unix box for some time at home, but haven't had a good enough box to try it out on. Since gaming is sort of losing it's appeal to me (perhaps it's just a phase), I decided... why not just install it on my primary (and best) box. So I did. So far everything is working out fine. I've a hard time installing gfx drivers, but I got them sort of working... (ATI x1600 with Ubuntu 6.10 if anybody out there has experience). 

It's nice to mess around with it again, but it's a little hard. Things are different than FreeBSD, so I'm a total n00b here :) Fun tho.

Well... today I finally decided to uninstall StarWarsGalaxies from my box.. a full year after I stopped playing it. I know I should've removed it long ago, but I just couldn't bring myself to it. It probably sounds really geeky, but it was pretty close to me, and helped me through rough times, so I didn't wanna let go. But I've come to the conclusion, that it's for the best... besides I need the harddisk space :p

SWG, thanks for the good times, sorry SOE fucked you over. Here's to you!

I've a weird way of living life, always have. I think I've touched upon the subject on this blog here before, but let me sum it up briefly. I don't have attention deficit disorder, at least I don't think so. But I have hard time staying focused on stuff that doesn't actively keep me busy over a long time. Like school. Never did much work in school. I'm fairly good at talking my way out of stuff, so I managed well in the exams etc.. but I could've done a lot more. Sometimes it pisses me off, sometimes it doesn't. I mean, no use in crying over spilled milk, but a guy can dream, right?

Anyway, with my current work, it's kind of the same. I'm there. I do alright, but I have potential to do more. But I just don't know how to tap into that potential. My thoughts drift. And I'm not very good at the 9-5 game. In fact, I hate having to go to the same workplace everyday at the same time, and do pretty much the same thing. It just grinds me down. So what do I do? I try and toss a few more balls up into the air. And when they are there, I try to keep them in the air :)

An old workmate from one of the numerous hotels I've worked on came over to visit last night. He had some ideas, I have some ideas, and we generally seem to pitch them well to one another. I hadn't seen him in a while, nor had I suspected to hear from him, so I was well surprised to get a message from him. Pleasantly surprised. Anyhow, he told me about some of his ideas, and asked my technical opinion. Some ideas were good, and some were, as it always goes, bad. But the point was the exchange. And together, we ruffled up some nice ideas and projects between us. I'm not gonna tell you a lot about them here, but I'm sure I'll divulge more information in the future. I'll go as far as to let you know, it's something to do with television (diligent readers of this blog will probably have an idea about what it is). This friend has contacts that can make my project and more come true... if I work hard at it :) So we're back to the good old problem. I hope I'll manage it this time tho. This is a nice alternative to keep around, and could, possibly, tie in with my current work, if I angle it right. So I'm crossing my fingers.

On a completely seperate note, I'm installing linux on my main box today. Not dropping windows altogether, just creating alternatives. Toodles!
