Lazy Day
My day off today.
Messed around on the computer, read, watched "Runaway Jury".
It was alright -- complicated story with lots of flash covering up for a weak script.
Your typical hollywood movie, but still fun.
Finished reading P.K. Dick's book "The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch". That was alright, guess it was a couple Dick books ago I realized I wasn't reading them for the crafty writing (really, they're almost like comic books) as much as it's just that he has such amazing ideas. This one was no different. But still worth reading.
Stopped by Walmart just now to pick up a few thing. Getting there just at 2 a.m., so then it was immediately 3 a.m. As I was walking in the door with my brother an old man greeted us. I hung out with him a bit and he told me that the night before they had some excitement. Some guy trying to break into the coke machine. When he couldn't break in, he didn't give up, but went into the store and bought a crowbar. He got after the coke machine for another forty minutes before they chased him off.
Been switching over my desktop environment the past several weeks. Mainly doing this by using ratpoison and screen, as explained in the Antidesktop article on freshmeat. Trying to do more stuff on the command line. Personal challenge --just how much can I do without using the mouse and a GUI? So far it's been pretty satisfying, seems like it's easier to concentrate on what I'm doing with the computer when it's not farting and bleeping at me in fifty fantastic colors.
Installed xscreensaver a while back. Nice application. Trying to figure out how to get it to load at boot and I was looking at the web site and found this:
" Attention Windows users: There is no Windows version of xscreensaver, and there never will be. Please stop asking. That goes double for the ``xmatrix'' mode. No. The answer is no. I don't use any Microsoft products and neither should you."
Hehe.
