(no subject)
I started watching an anime called "Infinite Ryvius" again. Wakey and Tim and I had watched the first episode over spring break, but none of us were in the mood for it at the time and we all kind of MST3K'ed it while we watched. Anyways, after picking it up again I really started to like it, partially because I really don't have anything better to do right now. The other part is probably that I'm just in the right mood for watching sci-fi anime.
Also, I still hate Cisco. There routers suck, their online book for their class is Macromedia Flash animation, and their *labs and tests contain numerous typos and factual inaccuracies about their own god damned hardware.* That last part is what puts me over the edge. It's bad enough dealing with the first two without having to second guess everything the (annoying to access) Cisco curriculum tells us about the (stupid, fucking) routers. A $70 LinkSys residential broadband router running Linux provides a more flexible, lower latency, more reliable, routing solution than many Cisco routers in the thousands of dollars. Ironically, LinkSys is a now a wholly owned subsidiary of Cisco. In short:
Dear Cisco,
Fuck off and die.
Your's truly,
John
Other news? Oh, I'm the maintainer for a couple packages in OpenZaurus (OpenZaurus being a particular Linux distribution for the Sharp Zaurus SL series of handheld computers). Most of you probably don't care, but I felt like bragging. :P
That is all. Thank you and good night.
