This week I ought to have posted about how Gunnar and I met somewhere along the Ciclotón and had amazing amounts of fun. But I can’t, because we didn’t, because I was stuck in bed, with a 39C fever, all through Sunday and Monday and half of Tuesday. And weak and tired and with a [...]
I’ve just returned from renewing my passport (an important step in getting to DC7). They asked for originals and copies of my previous passport, my military service card, my voter’s registration card and my birth certificate. They forbid you from signing the application until you’re right at the counter, take three prints of each index [...]
I went to the bookstore yesterday, hoping to advance in my Honya Budo training. I actually expected to reach “The feeling of the touch”. I succesfully dodged the powerful alure of a book of photographs by Juan Rulfo, a collection of maps showing the advance of european knowdledge of asian cartography from atiquity, and a [...]
I have a pretty thin voice for a male. Thus, it’s not rare that people will take me for a female when on the phone. I’ve rather gotten used to it, and it no longer bothers me that much, specially since it usually happens with people I’ll never speak to again anyways (such as telemarketers).
But, [...]
I jumped on the gender quiz meme. I found this question rather funny: ‘You think this quiz is quite superfluous’.
Anyways. It said that:
Male57%Either54%Neither46%Female36%
Should you be MALE or FEMALE?*

After that, I changed my mind. I do find it superfluous.
Things come and go. In batches, it seems. Tonight, at exactly the very same time I was filling out my NM application, I received the final, definitive, no self-denial-possible message that my previous life is over. With prejudice. Kind of ruined the moment. Or, maybe it was the other way around and having mustered the [...]
This looks like a ‘planet-acceptable’ meme. My most often executed commands:
$ history|awk ‘{print $2}’|awk ‘BEGIN {FS=”|”} {print $1}’|sort|uniq -c|sort -rn|head -10
56 cd
49 ls
37 less
35 gnuclient
33 man
32 find
28 apt-cache
25 sudo
24 nice
13 dpkg
So, it seems I spend my time moving from place to place and seeing what’s there. Maybe I should play nethack more often.
I have two pending ITPs, and about 40 bugs in an adopted package. And, what have I been doing for the last hour? Reading up on Wikipedia about subjects ranging from geology trhu climatology to history of the roman empire.
Must. Stop. Procrastinating.
Hi there!
Ever since I learned about free sotfware, I’ve always intended to give something back to the projects I’m benefitting from. But I had always allowed something or other to get between me and my good intentions. And then DebConf came to us. And I just so loved the people there and the way they [...]
