Utter chaos

Imitation Gruel

I sleep for ~12 hours then I watch a couple hours of TV, and I come online to find this.

[Obelix, paraphrased] These OSYers are crazy! [/Obelix]

Obviously the only way I'll be able to keep up is to forego sleep altogether and work out some sort of intravenous hyper-caffeine injection system. I shall call it the "Sleep and be sorry!" machine.

Okay, some admonishments:

JR: Nothing done here in the last ~18 hours hours is any worse than the spamming Socrates made famous, and then I made legendary. So quit complaining.

Madan: Sit back from the computer, shut the hell up for a while, find a way to survive on only 2 jobs (or less), and lay off the low-grade crack. If you must, take up marijuana smoking...at least then you'll be mellow and everything will work out all right.

AYB: Move somewhere where you can find a damn job. You're too smart and hilarious to be unemployed.

Myself: Sleep less. Read OSY more.

Easy solution:

Madan give 2-3 of your jobs to AYB.

There problem solved. :cheesy:

Oooh, I like Webdesign jobs :)

Judging by my Geoshitties site, I am a natural no?

BTW IG, you need to keep up on ars as well.  I called you a closet Mac user and you had nothing to say about it. :cheesy:

I called you a closet Mac user and you had nothing to say about it.

If you called me that in the Battlefront I likely haven't seen it. My Battlefront reading time has dropped by I would estimate 50%+ in less than two months. Frankly it has basically ceased to have entertainment value and a point.

I've been doing a lot of reading of fanfic, and some of my own writing, and platform contention doesn't hold as much value to me anymore as it did not so long ago.

So it's very possible I never saw the comment. Therefore I'll address it here: :rolleyes:

I have done some checking outside of the Metro area where I live.  The same type of problems are prevalent everywhere.

BTW OW, did you get the smam about the OSX developer job I sent you? :)

You got Asterix & Obelix over there?

Riso: not that I'm aware of. I've done alot of traveling in Europe and on the way I've picked up ~35 Asterix books. I can read them in French or in English, but I've always enjoyed Obelix's "These Romans are crazy!" line from the English ones. So I paraphrased it.

My G4 will be here today. Lets see if I get sucked into the RDF of Steve Jobs and caught up with the most advanced OS in the world. Maybe then I can be like BEIGE and Nibs...

I had one person help me with my buddy's son and getting him his new G3. I managed to find a G4 for a few other items I had floating around...

How is that for Chaos?

Anyone else?

Uh....

No.

Trust me, there are several pretty knowledgeable people around here. And they know more (at least, from what is visible on an online forums) than him about Unixes. Don't be fooled by his snotty arrogant manners.

I'm willing to bet few know more Sun contact numbers than he, heh. Besides, knowing a lot about Solaris isn't the same as knowing a lot about Unixes in general. Just very close. (He strikes me as more of a "Systems architect" saying it needs these specs, now you go and prep it while I drink my coffee)
Madan

Thu Mar 21 01:15:56 2002

You misunderstand, I've spoken with him before about *Nix and he *is* quite knowledgeable.

Mad, you aint got no clue 'bout Unix apart that your precious OS X is based on it.

So, beeing very knowledgeable compared to you isn't a very difficult thing to do.

MWNH knows nuffin about nuffin.  All he's waffling on about in that link is standard risk-assement scenarios and what's best in your "business case" like he's in a fucking board meeting. Which is pretty much how he writes all the time.

BF is like the Psychic Hotline - Entertainment purposes only. NOBODY is going to change their operating system, ever, based no BF.

I have no idea what I typed up there. Drunk/bored I expect.

Thank you IG.  And, JR, how about that wolverine icon?
