A Collection of Thoughts in the Desolation of Life

Pictures Don't Prevent Violence

2010-12-08T22:47:00.001-07:00

Long time no see, eh blog? Lets get to the point then:
Of the Facebook meme, changing your profile picture to some cartoon to prevent violence. Actually, here is the word for word post that's going around:

"Change
your facebook profile to a cartoon from your childhood. The Goal?? To
not see a human face on FB till Monday, Dec. 6th. Join the "Fight
Against Child Abuse". Copy and paste to your status to invite your
friends to do the same."

Now, it may be that this issue hits a little close to home, or it may be some other environmental reason, but I'm going to rage all over this bitch.
Let's begin then.

First of all, I'm sure there are tons of children that are so glad you changed your profile picture in support of them. You could have, you know, joined a group of volunteers, maybe donated some money to a group that helps these kids, but no, you went the extra mile and changed your fucking facebook picture. Way to go champ! Pat yourself on the back, you did all the kids who have to go through this kind of shit some real good!
Rage aside, I'd seriously like to see some stats on what exactly changing your profile picture really does for a kid. In fact I challenge anyone who is reading this to go find out exactly how you are effecting the life of a child by de-humanizing the social network gigantic.

Right, I raged over the fact that changing your profile picture doesn't do a goddamn thing to help fight against child abuse. But the goal is to not see a human face on facebook?! That's a little odd. After all, "The human face's proportions and expressions are important to identify origin, emotional tendencies, health qualities, and some social information." So lets just remove all sense of origin, all social information in favor of some stupid cartoon that provides little if any real connection with our friends (and perhaps family) over facebook. Perhaps its just me, but it sounds a bit off, ya know?

(note: I know its a couple days after the supposed goal date, but I've been writing this over the past week, revising, ect.)

Of school (and other related rambleings)

So college starts this week. Well, next week. On the 1st. I've just gotten my books. Chemestry, pre-calc algebra, two English books, and the music tech book. Could be an interesting semester. Probally going to cut my gameing time to nothing. Oh well. And I'm in both the concert/pep band and jazz band, plus now I get to help the high school band because we don't have any seniors in it this year, and it's two people less. And so my bass will not be shelved and forgotten! Heh. Well, I do believe that's all I would need to say if I where talking to a wall, which I basicly am, so that's it. Done. Goodbye. And stuff.

June19th,2009- Ok. Here we go. It all started after my 2nd new harddrive killed over, after, well, about 3 months. I blamed windows for not being good enough to run everything I wanted with only 1G RAM and such. So I began to explore Linux. Fedora distribution, to be precice. I had seen it attempt to work it's magic while attempting to recover data from harddrive #1. With out a laptop, my generous college teach Dan loaned me a tower (running XP) so that I may pass the class I was taking. Since then I've fixed the cd/DVD drive to work, and burned a full set of fadora 10 disks about 1 1/2 days before 11 was released. So I grabbed 11, made a stable, working liveUSB out of it, and then bought a new laptop. An acer, cheap, tiny AspireOne with a RvB sticker I attached on the frount. Not a day old, I decided to try and install Fadora 11 from my liveUSB and run a dual boot laptop. Didn't work. Turns out, I don't know as much as I would like about disk partitioning. So now I'm sitting here, really fucking early in the morning, restoring windows and wishing I was asleep. And yet, as I look on the screen now, fadora is still booting?! I'll be back tommrow to let you kids know WTF is going on....
July 8th, 2009-I'll be breif: I'm a fucking genuis. The day after that sadish event, I reformatted my liveUSB, made sure the SHA1 sum was correct, and tried the boot from USB trick again. It WORKED! However, now everytime I tired to boot windows (instead of Fadora) the computer insisted I run the system recovery tool (built in the harddrive, how handy) so I did. Reboot. Hey, user, you need to run system recovery! Eh? I just did, asshole. So I run it again. Same effect. I give up. I start playing in Fadora a little bit. Oh, hey, looky there, I only have 20M to store programs and shit in. What?! Final option: redo the whole fucking installation. Oh joy. I go through the Fadora setup (time, network name, all that shit) and get to the advance options area selection place. Which has a custom partition choice. Hmmm. What's this? There's windows huge ass garbage. There's the -4 space from my first fadora install attempt. PAnd there's about 5gigs of "AcerR". Now, each partition was labeled (d,0) or something similar, so I wipped out the ol ipod and hit google up for some answers. After about an hour of reading, I got the jist of the labeling and actual filesystem usage of each partition. Now I had to resize all of them. After a bit more reading I concluded that the only way to do this was to start from scratch. So I I clicked reset all and bam! New huge un partitioned windows dump and the lil acer restore garbage. Now for the fun stuff. I menitioned partiton labels? Acer recovery was sda1, and windows was sda2. Now from taking note of the previous install set up and what I gathered from various ubuntu, fedora and linux help fourms, I now knew what I needed to both give fedora about 1/2 the harddrive in "programs and shit" space, while also knowing what to do about the previous boot recovery problem. Step 1: scale windows partition down. Easy enough, there's an option under the advanced or whatever option when you select the partition. And done. Step 2: Fedoras many partitions. First, create an ext3 partition where GRUB is going to hide. That shall be sda3, small, and is a /boot label. (Under advanced or whatever, there is a dropdown that let's you choose what type of partiton or some shit similar. Its been a month, alright?!) And done. Step three: free space for fadora. In the previous setup it was labeled "extended" (same dropdown menu) so I did that. Didn't fill er up just yet though. this was sda4 (extended). Now for the part that makes Fadora work right: lvm. Sda5 (lvm, suprise!) Now once one has selected that option, there are two more options at the bottom of the window that give you uh, two more options. First one needs to be lv_root ext4. This is the new filesystem linux uses, and it needs 800M for some reason. The other option needs to be lv_swap swap. This has something to do with memory kernel some fucking thing or another, and I gave it 2016M cos its what I felt like. (Aka, I don't remember) haveing done this, I gave the rest of the free, unpartitioned space evenly-ish between windows and fedora. And hit done. Thus, I now have a pimptastic dualboot mini laptop that needs a RAM upgrade so guild wars can run smoother at higher graphics levels. The fucking end.

FUCK ITUNES

The most awesome Misspelling EVER

2008-09-10T17:43:00.002-06:00

Heh heh, for us nerds, the Hadron Collider is the greatist thing since hookers and strippers. HOWEVER, on the Science Channels slide show of the project (which is up and running today, which is AWESOME, I wish I was there right now...) there happens to be a rather interesing miss spelling in the address itself. Observe:
http://science.discovery.com/slideshows/lhc/large-hardon-collider.html
as you can see, the link works, spelling error and all....
I thought it was funny, and my physics teacher it the one who pointed it out....
