So I was thinking about D&D 4's flavor text for classes of the divine power source, and it ocurred to me that it sounded a lot like the apostolic succession (in Wikipedia by that name), and if that made any sense in the post-apocalyptic setting I'm developing. Which led to this, eventually:

So like two thousand years ago, this totally boss ( Read more... )

Didn't we know this already?

... seems to be working. Except I can't SSH to Az-chan. Scary. (Now to find out how much I just spent...)

Incidentally, I've noticed it being much easier just to say 'triple-E', although it sounds silly, than try to say 'e pea sea', or even worse, 'e~e pea sea'.

Been doing some hacking away at Ubuntu 9.04 ("Jaunty")'s Netbook Remix. With the initial installation, my wireless didn't work; luckily, the wired ethernet did, and I was able to update ( ( Read more... )

"You wouldn't believe the wolves near Vladivostok, Ping... Heck, /I/ don't, and I taught at Nekomi Tech!"

Just finished watching Tytania. I liked it a lot, although the fleet tactics kept making me wince.

just how awesome the drawing of Junko in the last panel of today's MegaTokyo is. (I'm also amused by what appears to be the massive retcon that's going on, but I also haven't been paying much attention, so I won't talk about it ( Read more... )

So I've been leaving my monitor on and at VT1 when I leave Az-chan alone at home to see if I could get some error messages before she committed suicide. I got one today, a kernel panic. Unfortunately, the top half had scrolled off the top of the screen, but the call tree was kind of scary: from cstar_do_call/sys_write/vfs_write through some timer ( Read more... )

and finally decided to ask here. Then I did some quick googling to find out and stumbled on this editorial, which asks the same question but comes up with a totally different answer. (They want to say that the difference between GM and Toyota's respective homeland operations is that if Toyota were paying what GM were paying for its retirees' ( Read more... )
