A few technical changes
A few things have happened on my current server setup. The biggest one was my move from FreeBSD to Ubuntu. I do not have complains about FreeBSD — how could I? — but I wanted to play with more recent stuff, and it was becoming very hard to do under BSD. I also wanted a refresh, since I had been running that VPS for a while and it was starting to feel “dirty.”
So, I spawned up an [Ubuntu 16.04 LTS](http://releases.ubuntu … ⌘ Read more
At the age of 16, we remove vestiges like wisdom teeth and certain emotions.↵That nostalgia? It’s only going to get worse with age.

The century is 16, rebellious and heavily into bodymods. Comes into my studio drunk, waves a bit of winter. “Just graft me that wherever!”
It’s probably a little bit slower now, but i’ll add a option to increase the workers. 16 seems to work nicely here.
Dumping dollars left and right
“DOD charged the American taxpayer $43 million for what is likely the world’s most expensive gas station.”
That’s what Special Inspector General John F. Sopko found when he looked at the construction of a natural gas station in Sheberghan, Afghanistan.
According to the report, at most that station should have cost about $500,000. But in this case, the Department of Defense’s Task Force for … ⌘ Read more
Walking and using the phone
Walking around with your head stuck on the phone is like playing the chicken game. The fully aware pedestrian walking in your opposite direction—and on the same path—is forced to play the game. Not as dangerous as driving but still very annoying. When you walk, please pay attention, look where you are walking, and leave the phone in your pocket. ⌘ Read more
AP classes
Yesterday (15 October) Kent told me he doesn’t want to take AP (Advanced Placement) classes next year. He also told me he might not want to be a neurological surgeon after all, and that he really doesn’t know what he will want to be, professionally. We talked more, but the rest of it has no place in here.
Amongst the many feelings I am experiencing, regret is one of them. If only my parents were alive. I can’t express with words how very sorry I am for the many bad times I made them go through. ⌘ Read more
Secrets of living to be 200 years old
This article refers to ageing as not being an inevitable fact of life. It goes to describe the marvellous capabilities that some animals have to live, seemingly, forever. Yet, do we really want to? With all the problems we are having with over population, do we want to pursue the holy grail, and extend life to last hundreds?

Gmail.app on iOS
I like Google and its services. Like is too little, I love them! Their mobile applications on the other hand — specifically those running under iOS — are horrible. The UIX is confusing and it does not follows Apple UIX design. Their choice of font is of poor taste and, again, does not match the rest of the OS. They lack of functionality and/or their functionality is limited by poor choices and, what is seems to be, a lack of common sense. I could describe and point out the problems on any of the … ⌘ Read more

Microsoft is a crying baby
What does Microsoft do when they don’t get it their way? They cry like babies, they snitch and they try to use their mu$cle to get things their way.
Microsoft Urges Review of Google-DoubleClick Deal – Microsoft, a veteran defendant of epic antitrust battles in the United States and Europe, is urging regulators to consider scuttling Google’s plan to buy DoubleClick, an online advertising company.
Microsoft contends that the $3.1 billion deal, announced on … ⌘ Read more
Nazi crimes archives set to open
BBC News: Nazi crimes archives to set open.
The 47 million files hold Nazi records of forced labourers, concentration camp victims and political prisoners. They have been used to help people trace their relatives, but were kept closed to protect victims’ privacy. Many people felt the files should be opened to historical researchers to ensure the details of the Holocaust ( [Nazis genocide](http://www.bbc.co.uk/history/worldwars/genocide/holocaust_overview_01.s … ⌘ Read more
Do not phone and drive
It infuriates me the idiots who think (and insist) that driving a car while talking on their mobile phones represents no problem for them or those around. Well, it does, fools! I have done it, I confess –although I have stopped doing so for a while, unless it is a real emergency– and I know what I am talking about. A driver handling a phone conversation while driving is impaired. It is!
So, for the stupids out there still using their mobile phones to keep their idiotic conversat … ⌘ Read more
The Chocolate Imbecile
I can’t get it out of mind. How a person can be so idiotic? The major of New Orleans, Ray Nagin said, among other things:

“Surely he doesn’t approve of us being in Iraq under false pretenses.”

On a training, for two days
I am going through a Windows 2003 training for two days. A few things we are talking about here I have already played with, some others are boooring! But it could be worse, at least it is not a Microsoft sales pitch.
