Watched it this past Sunday. At one point in the movie, the father (Hannibal Lecter) explains how he came to inflicted with the curse of lycanthropy. He hears of someone living in a cave and goes up there Gets bitten by Gollum, and turns into a werewolf the next full moon.
I almost rofl’d my pants when that came up on screen.
Occasionally I like to take at look at my old comic strip True Bums. It makes me realize how not funny I was.
However, such strips as the following, also make me realize how much of a genius I was. Now that I look back on some of my earlier work, I can see how clever I was. These are from November 2005, around finals during high school.
This is quality I hope to regain some day.
A quick tidbit.
When you COPY a file/folder from one location and PASTE it to a new location, you will strip all inherited permissions from the parent folder and take on the perms of the new root location.
When you MOVE a file/folder to a new location, the file will not inherit the permissions of the host location and instead maintain the permissions set on the original file.
This does not apply when you zap over a file to a different drive, in which case all perms are stripped.
PLEASE, do yourself and your IT mates a favor and remember the difference. Thank you.
1/14 – edit fail reversed. lousy wordpress autosave
It’s nothing fancy. But this year, I have two resolutions to aim for this coming year.
The first, is to have NO DIARRHEA. None. Not at all. Not a single nutty drop. The reason I have this odd goal here is because during the past year, I was hit by a bout of food poisoning not once, but twice. The first was due to a pork roast I prepared incorrectly. Oh lordy. The days that followed were TERRIBLE. The second time came a bit before Thanksgiving, at a local Mexican restaurant. I blame the chicken. Wasn’t as bad as the previous incident, but still wasn’t fun. All in all, I do not want to repeat that again. I do not want to experience anything remotely like it again.
So yes. There’s that, and my second (unfortunately) more realistic resolution is to take another firm step towards a more fulfilling job, and ultimately better life.
But alas, I must leave. Being the nerd that I am, to go play board games. 
More later.
EDIT: I’m back. So I have a couple things in mind. If I am offered a better position here on campus, I’ll prolly take it. If not, I’ll have to look elsewhere. I don’t know the sort of work I’d like to end up in, so I’ll prolly have to do some soul searching. On the inside, I think I already know that I’ll never really quite enjoy doing same work over and over again. I need change. Not radical, but still something. I’d like to get something of my own started, and hopefully I’ll be able to take steps in that direction during this year. Toodles.
Yes. I have ads on my site now.
My ads are through Project Wonderful. They have an interesting system for ad payments, utilizing an cost per day model determined by an infinite auction. I don’t have to worry about clicks, as my earnings depend purely on what advertisers deem appropriate. I’m not seeking to earn money, but I’ve decided to see if having ads displayed on my website could offset my hosting costs, which aren’t terrible.
I figure, if I could maybe get 5 cents per day, I’d make about 18 dollars in a year, and cover about a third of my hosting costs. It’s just something I’m testing out. And maybe this will give me more of an incentive to develop this site and give you all more of a reason to visit everyday, which is always nice, no?
