Analyse this, you miscreants.

Wednesday, December 31st, 2008

And then the old man coughed a feeble cough, one that exclaimed either "I am weak!" or "You're missing something". Standing up, a white tear broke apart his face and slight dust fell from his cracked lips and forehead. "I'm going to find my wife." Even as he said this his chalky ...

Some Europe Photos

Saturday, December 27th, 2008

I said I'll put up some photos, and here they are! (Some from the previous Europe trip) In left-to-right top-to-bottom order, here are some brief descriptions. 1) An obese squirrel in the park outside Buckingham Palace. They are very tame, and once they're eating a nut, you can literally put your face ...

Merry Christmas

Monday, December 22nd, 2008

Sorry for the long non-techy post, but I won't post again for a week. Hohoho. It's Christmas. Plus, it's also almost the end of 2008. This is traditionally the time to reflect on whatever that's gone on in the previous year, and then say "yeah, we screwed up here, and it's ...

Now officially vulnerable to muscle aches! Oh, and WordPress 2.7.

Monday, December 15th, 2008

Oh joy! I get an excuse to talk about something else other than tech for a while. For the past few days, my skin seems to have been plagued with what resembles a nasty case of chicken pox, except that it's restricted to certain regions, such as my hands (like ...

Back from SIGGRAPH Asia 2008

Saturday, December 13th, 2008

Well, I've been pretty inactive in terms of blog posts given the hectic series of events that were lined up. However now, thing's are a lot calmer (in the most free sense of the word) and I'll be back to my a post every 2 days schedule. Lot of fun ...

kde-crazy: KDE Devs on Steroids!

Saturday, December 6th, 2008

I recently added the kde-crazy overlay to my portage. Aside from the rather nasty feeling in my gut (seriously, don't put the word "crazy" when advertising unstable software, it scares people!), I also got access to the KDE snapshots. (What currently is version 4.1.80 - the stable is 4.1.3). Well, ...

WordPress 2.6.5

Monday, December 1st, 2008

Well, it seems as though version 2.6.4 has - well, quite literally been scrapped and the developers have skipped right on to 2.6.5. I'm up to date, and again using it as an excuse to take up a post on my writing schedule. For want of something more interesting to ...

Unreasonably Adamant

Friday, November 28th, 2008

It's been somewhat of a hectic few days, peaking around yesterday night, provoking some outbursts, prohibiting meaningful blog posts, and impeding any sort of school activity. I don't really understand it, neither do I know clearly how to proceed, but perhaps I should disguise these thoughts from others, leaving them ...

Poetry Anthology Competition Presentation

Saturday, November 22nd, 2008

I'm taking a bit of a break from my computer, Gentoo, KDE, etc related articles yet again to talk a bit about the vast array of creative and multimedia related creations I produce once in a while. Seeing as you guys must be bored out of your minds from the ...

Now with … 2.6.25-gentoo-r9!

Tuesday, November 18th, 2008

Being somewhat of a techy-related blog, I guess that should warrant a post on my recent battle with the Kernel gentoo-sources 2.6.25-gentoo-r9. The version I was running before was r7, which was sadly two revisions out of date. :( Even worse before that was I was using 2.6.24-r4. Which was ...
