Random thoughts about YouTube
I hate media today. “You won’t believe THIS!” “5 tricks Airlines hope you NEVER LEARN!” “13 stupid mistakes DESTROYING your automatic car!” “NO ONE can explain THIS!” </eye roll> What’s with all this sensationalist title nonsense? And with these horrendous thumbnails every video now has? Has anyone actually looked at YouTube lately? It’s disgusting. I…

Nintendo
You’re out. Goodbye. You will NEVER get another dollar from me. I bought it, it’s mine. Fuck you. :-* Nintendo updated its Nintendo Account Agreement with a severe warning against “unauthorized use”, in a bid to prevent emulation and piracy. The US update is as follows: “Without limitation, you agree that you may not (a)…

Cleaning Arch Linux
Chris Titus wrote an article (and did a video!) about cleaning Arch Linux. I wanted to add a bit more that I find helpful – something that he didn’t cover: Uninstalling UNUSED dependencies!

The Divide
A sense of guilt washes over me, again. I watch as you sleep, restlessly. Your ears and whiskers twitch as you dream, someplace beyond this cruel reality I’m trapped within. I feel foolish. I’ve secretly held my hopes high, but the truth of things comes ever more steadily into focus, crushing the dream I’ve managed…

I’ve tried to tread every step with a planned and careful thoughtfulness, to base every agonizing decision out of love, and attempt to anticipate the outcome. The possibilities and uncertainty are tearing me to pieces. Nico is my heart. He isn’t a pet, he is my…

Bad Luck
It seems to me that I’ve had quite a bit of bad luck lately. I’m truly not sure what I’ve done to offend lady Karma, but she has since responded and laid her divine retribution squarely on my shoulders, consistently, for the past month. While I do not understand, I am listening, I am learning,…

Well, isn’t that nice
See what I did there? No? lol. Let me elaborate. As I was waking this morning, my partner came to say good morning with a kiss and casually mentioned “The water was being weird when I was showering.” I grew up on a well – so I’m no stranger to the odd things that sometimes…
