Counting Crows in SUSE Linux
Psychiatrist: So, why do you think you have such a poor attitude?
Scott (this is me): Because I was molested as a child? Because everyone really is out to get me? Because I’d rather claw my face off than expend any more energy pretending I care?
Shrink (aforementioned Psychiatrist): No. Here’s your reason.
This conversation was a work of fiction and any references to historical events, to real people, living or dead, or to real locales are intended only to give the fiction a sense of reality and authenticity. Other names, places, characters and incidents either are the product of the author’s imagination or are used ficticiously, and their resemblence, if any, to real-life counterparts is entirely coincidental.
The Brainshare entertainment show last night was great. Counting Crows played all the songs we know and love. That dude has some hair goin’, man. I thought he had a dead baby orangutan nailed to his skull. Eventually, I saw that it was some dreadlock-ish things that were, in fact, growing out of his scalp. I then concluded that he had it that way on purpose, and ended my phone call to 911.
I did get some very poor shots (with my cell phone) of the concert, during the Mr. Jones song. If you listen really hard, you can hear them playing it as you look at the picture. As soon as I figure out how to get the pictures off my phone, I’ll post them somewhere so some of you can have a look or something. Unless you don’t want to.
Before Counting Crows played, however, Don Friesen made me nearly urinate myself. He did this bit about the Southwest Airlines pilots that had me just dying. Normally, all a comedian gets from me is a blank stare. Crude humor, profanity, and other forms of fake humor rarely evoke much more from me than a yearning to break the sound barrier getting myself out of the building. Don was great. He did this bit about how the pilots must have to be on some kind of Xanex or something. One of the funnier lines was, “Do you ever have a dream that you’re flying? And then you wake up… and you are?” If you don’t get it, well, I guess you had to be there… much in the same way that I was.
Well, I got X going on my new AMD64 box last night. And why would one care about this? Because I’ve decided to make it a Gentoo machine. I really love Gentoo. And I really love SUSE. I don’t really love other men, though.
Some cool stuff about multiple LiveCDs on one DVD.
A classic about trying to file a bug report with M$.
