Installing Gentoo
I’m installing the Gentoo 2005.0 release on a test machine. It’s been two and a half hours since the start of the installation.

All Roads Lead To MSN
I like MSN Messenger and I use it everyday. I just downloaded MSN 7.0 which came out of beta a couple of hours ago. I really like this version as it fixes a lot of things and adds many new features.

Is This Love?
I’m someone who likes to have a fast PC. If my PC is sluggish then I will get frustrated. If I get frustrated then bad things will happen to the people around me (or not).

Setting Up A Server
For quite a while now, I’ve been thinking of setting my own server at home by buying one of those cheap Dell desktops and installing Linux on there.

Gmail Now Has 2 GB+
When Gmail announced yesterday that they were adding 2 GB, they added a nifty counter on the homepage. That counter keeps on going even thought it passed the 2 GB. This is in sync with what Georges Harik told CNET on Thursday. I took a peek at the JavaScript code for the counter, and found out that the quota is increased by 1 MB every 24,912 seconds or every 6 hours 55 minutes and 12 seconds. The next milestone, 2075 MB, will happen on Saturday, April 9th 2005, 16:00:00 (GMT). If the quota keeps increasing at that rate, we should reach 3000 MB in about 23,666,400 seconds which corresponds to Sunday, January 1st 2006, 9:00:00 (GMT) :).
1 CommentMutant Strawberry
Yesterday, I went to Albertson’s and saw this strawberry:
I get weirded out all the time by the food here in the U.S. I already blogged about the bread here.
You Know That Feeling
It’s a feeling where you mind is blank (or full) and you don’t feel like writing a paper that is due tomorrow and that the teacher assigned 2 weeks ago. This is the zillionth time it’s happening to me, and everytime I keep telling myself “that it’s the last time I’m slacking like this.” Next thing you know, another paper is due and you haven’t done shit during the last weeks. Yup, happened again to me today.
GoogleX
Google added a little project to their labs today: GoogleX. I think it’s pretty cool and doesn’t use that much JavaScript. I think Google should one day make something like that the default since they’ve managed to cram in 11 links, compared to the 7 links that are on the Google homepage now. But I doubt they’ll ever put this on the homepage, Apple would probably sue :). But Apple’s patents might only extend to operating systems and applications and not web applications. Also, instead of having the user taken to another page when they click on an icon, they could make the changes dynamic in the page (e.g. change the action of the search button to match a different type of query).
Update: Google removed GoogleX without any notice or explanation. I’m assuming Apple asked them to remove it. This is the behavior I can’t stand from Apple. They always have to be party poopers. Lighten up for once.
Introducing Pix PMS
For the past weeks, I’ve been writing my own gallery script, which I tentatively named Pix Picture Management Software or Pix PMS (my slogan is Pix PMS — Gallery script with an attitude — get it? PMS? Attitude?).

The Ashley Simpson Show
Is it me, or does Ashley’s butt crack show up a lot on her show? I’ve seen it on at least 4 distinct occasions.
I Hate This Weather
The weather here in Pensacola is weird. It’s like the sunnier it is, the colder it gets. What’s up with that?
Arghhh…Assurance De Merde!
For the non-French speaking people, the title is: “Arghhh…Shitty Insurance!”
Before coming to the US, I didn’t know what it meant to have a shitty health insurance. I feel like I’ve wasted my money in an insurance that is not willing to pay anything of what I have needed to so far.

History Teacher’s Joke
If Thomas Newcomen lived to see James Watt’s improvements on the steam engine he would go “Say what!!!”
Sad, huh? Nobody in the class laughed. I wanted to laugh, only because I think the joke was really bad, but I was worried about being dragged in the streets and hung by the other students.
I’m Running For President
There are 85 candidates for Haiti’s Presidential elections. Eighty-five! It’s so many that it’s absurd and ridiculous. How can they expect the population to choose between 85 candidates, let alone get informed on the agenda of each one of them. I wouldn’t want to be the one designing the ballot or should I say booklot (book + ballot = booklot, get it?). Even if they put 9 candidates per page, it’ll be almost a 10 page ballot! I hope that the government does some kind of filtering because I’m sure that 90% of the candidates are unknown no-names.
