Have you ever?
A look into the everyday life of your not-so-ordinary geek:
- Dude… I should have calculated the md5/sha1 sum before I burned the CD and formatted my root partition. Well, at least I have a new frisbee…
- Hm. 10 USB cables… I have a 1:10 probabiliity of selecting the one that goes to the keyboard.
- Why is my keyboard plugged into one of my front USB ports? I’ll move it to the back. Ok, so I booted to windows and then it didn’t recognize it because it was in a different port. Lame!
- Windows has detected a mouse movement. Please reboot for the changes to take effect.
- Windows has found new hardware: Please use linux for better results.
- I pressed my spacebar, but windows thought that I wanted it to go into standby. All I wanted was a space…
- The duct tape case I made for my pocket PC’s keyboard is stuck on the keyboard. Now where did I put my knife? Ah yes! Under the pile of electronics!
- I know that CD is around here somewhere…
- I was bored, so I decided to talk to someone’s away message for a while. It was a very pleasant conversation: I did most of the talking.
- I left my computer for an hour, and this moron left me ten-thousand messages. What’s this? He had biscotti for lunch? Hmmm… Lunch… that’s a good idea.
- GTK hates you. Get over it.
- …Caught yourself using quotes too much? You know, like: “Dude, I use quotes too much.”
- Lay off the caffeine, you say? No, I don’t think so. Now where did I put my cup of espresso? Ah yes, that is burried under a pile of papers somewhere.
- I have so much crap in my wallet that it won’t even fit in my back pocket. Did I mention that I just cleaned it out?
- XHTML 1.1 compliant? Unordered Lists? count me in!
- Wow, there sure is a lot of junk on my desk. I should clean it off instead of talking to somone’s away message.
- I unplugged the keyboard, then instinctively blamed windows when I couldn’t type. What does that tell you?
- It’s been ten weeks since I blogged. I’ll do it tomorrow…
- Windows installer: Preparing to install… Wait a minute… I’m installing something now?
- Updates are downloaded and ready to install… I downloaded upates? Where was I when this happened?
- Warning: Your computer is three years out of date. Run windows update before someone decides to exploit the 10,000 security vulnerabilities that were discovered during this time. Wow, it’s been three years since I booted to Windows? Let them hack me, as long as they don’t hurt linux. They’re no match for tux anyway!
- I just write random 1 to 10 line programs and leave them in whatever directory I am working in. They’re named: poop.php, poo.php, test.php, it.php, this.php, that.php, or test.php. And the variables are a,b,c,d,e…,z.
- What?!? There isn’t a man file for that command??? NOOOOO!
- Document type does not allow element ul here. ooops…
