christel, you remember the mood-swings we were talking about ?
I think I’m undergoing just another 🙁 I’m currently pretty much pissed. Basically everything is pestering me currently (except #gentoo-dev and Gentoo work).
Work just ripped another piece of me (hah, thanks VMware & BigBlue). I started the day with a ice cold shower (if I’m talking about ice cold it was ice cold), they’re currently replacing our old gas heating and unfortunately that means no warm water at all! *arg*
Ok, I know I’ve been absent the last 2 or 3 days (but only in the evening). I know Seemant 😛 and I’m pretty sorry for that.
As some of you may know, I recently aquired a Linksys WRT54GL to replace my stupid, crappy Netgear WG602 (which, sorry for the words, is completly junk right now).
I managed to flash an dd-wrt image to it, right the first day I got it. But a recent update made it broke and now I’m completly unable to reflash the device (as in bricked).
And I’m about as lazy on the evening as hardworking on the day. So I ordered another one just yesterday. It should arrive today (hopefully) so that I get the damned wireless back.
The other thing currently is, that work is getting pretty stressing. Everyone (of my co-workers, mostly the young ones) is pestering me with his/her problems (and my main problem being, that I can’t ignore that, because I care pretty much for most of them). Plus provisioning is on my tail because of some damned provisioning processes.
Gentoo-wise I’ve recently come to know some of the #gentoo-dev people (yeah, thats you Chris and Christel) along with kloeri, kingtaco (heya :P), fox2mike and not to forget Joshua. I really think they are pretty amazing from a people POV 🙂
Another thing I wanted to say: thank you Diego for the work you did with kde-3.5.4 (especially the prerelease thing)
I’m looking forward to September, who knows maybe I’ll meet one of the two in Munich (along with some other people).
Ok, I’m now finished with my morning tea (some nice green mate tea) and will now start eating my pudding 😛 (white chocolate and normal chocolate with cream).
P.S.: christel, I really liked that poem, thanks a lot 🙂
P.P.S: Chris, lol 🙂 nice visual-ascii-faces 🙂 I’ve not yet had the time to take a look (as in hear) your “songs” ..
P.P.P.S: tsunam, I hope you excuse me for not blogging about my puzzle yet, I promise its the first thing I’ll do on the weekend
Hrm, I think I tortured christel a bit too much, earlier ..

Oh, yeah baby *g*. It’s finally hot f*cking summer and I *really* like it. We have now three weeks in a row sunny weather with no rain at all.
Everyone running around with less or nearly no clothes (heh, especially the girls) is also a nice present from above.
Personally I haven’t felt better the last two years. Maybe that’s depending on my previous depressions and the like (you know these thoughts .. ) but this summer is definitely going rock my life!
christel, babe 😛 I have to say you’re not alone with those mood swings. I have them also from time to time. Everyone (well my friends :P) is bitching at me then like “C’mon, don’t be so negative about … blah” or “Why are you so angry at … blah ?”.
You’re also right, piling the anger up isn’t such a good thing (TM). Stress from work (or family :() is also doing its part.
Aaah, Joshua; I nearly forgot about you! Take of that hat! It makes you look like a clown, which you really are not 🙂 And I’m gonna blog about my 15 billion pieces puzzle tomorrow (uploading ~180M of jpeg’s isn’t that fast with stupid 16k upstream).
Oh, by the way thanks Sven for the really great introduction of frilled! I really would like to see more of those (even if it will get pretty hard by the time :))
But enough of the bitching, now some infos/updates on the Gentoo/FOSS-related things.
Well it’s mid of July and the weather seems to be my friend. 25°C ain’t that bad. I really liked the weather last week (although everyone at work was bitching about it being tooo warm :P) and would like to keep it (for the rest of the year of course!).
Hrm, for everyone who loved the music within Kill Bill – Volume 1: Tomoyasu Hotei really rocks (playing Battle without Honor or Humanity).
Work is finally getting interesting. The x366 have been delivered, as well as the new Netbay 42U rack and of course the optional Cisco Catalyst 3650. Hopefully my co-worker will let me work on those babies in a short time (I would really like to :))
And now to my Gentoo related work:
I had an interesting conversation with Hendrik yesterday about some of his packages, and I’m taking over some of them …
I bumped sys-cluster/vzctl, hopefully all bugs related to the upstream changes (well I missed a config var in the init-script #138469) are now fixed. Oh yeah, they finally decided to switch to a sane versioning scheme. Thanks Kir and Igor!
Linux VServer stuff is also approaching its final release (even if Herbert is always saying When its done. I’ll prepare the patch tarballs for 2.{0.2,1.1}_rc26 later.
Meh, I nearly forgot to say thank you. Thanks a lot Mr. Bush. They just showed how the local waste disposal company is blocking the road with dumpsters while being protected by ~20 policemen … And only to prevent anybody driving into the city with a car which could endanger Mr. President!
Now is again such a time in live, where you have the motivation or wish to just fade away.
I’m just listening to Fort Minor – Where’d you go and thinking about the stuff Mike Shinoda is singing …
I want you to know it’s a little fucked up,
That I’m stuck here waitin’, no longer debatin’,
Tired of sittin’ and hatin’ and makin’ these excuses,
For while you’re not around, and feeling so useless,
It seems one thing has been true all along,
You don’t really know what you got ’til it’s gone.
The track is really great, I really enjoy that. Some people I know would call it dark or even depressive but it ain’t even like that. It’s just a bit blue, like carving for someone is. 🙂
I didn’t thought that telling someone, that you sense a bit more than friendship would change so much. So much, that even simple talking to each other isn’t possible any more. Oy, that sucks.
And than you get to hear, that’s only for you, so it won’t hurt so much. What a lame excuse.
On the other hand I really start to enjoy my life. Looking the third seaoson of Stargate which DHL just delivered yesterday. Work is getting more exciting.
Hopefully the new IBM System X (well we ordered xSeries 😉 ) will be delivered next week, I’m already studying the ESX documentation.
Heh, I managed to catch the S1 to Hellenberg and got of in Stuttgart Rohr. The S-Bahn doors nearly squashed me.
I’m now at my aunt’s place, sitting on the sofa and relaxing a bit. My aunt was really happy when she saw me (as she always is if I or my brother comes by).
I’ll go to bed in a few minutes, Saturday is getting really stressing. I need to get to my cousin and his wife (and my little grand cousins). I even need to buy a new LCD display for my aunt, since she somewhere red that those need 70% less power.
Boy, right after I wrote those lines they announced everyone heading to Stuttgart should get of that train and take another since they had to replace the damaged end car. I even had to switch platforms again.
I’m now sitting in that other train, it’s pretty much overfilled with people who are all and everyone angry at DB. I’m gonna take a cab from Stuttgart Central Station to my aunt’s place since it’s getting later and later. We’re now supposed to arrive at 22:48 but the train already has ten minutes delay.
I’m really curious what happens next. Two missed trains, a broken one … Maybe the cab driver takes me to the wrong place. That put the crown on that day.
I’m now sitting in the ICE (on a little child seat), it arrived with 20 minutes delay here at Frankfurt Airport but we’re still standing here with problems on the end car, so it’s gonna take a while.
It’s one of the newer ICE’s and the interior looks really great. I even managed to get some wireless connection!
I’m now at Frankfurt Airport and I nearly got on the earlier train to Stuttgart which I wasn’t able to catch, according to the service guy. I was facing the same problem than the morning before. The damn doors closed right in front of my face. Meh, Friday seems to be my bad luck day.
I’m still waiting for the ICE supposed to leave at 20:54 but it’s currently having eighteen minutes delay. My cousin messaged me earlier that she’ll collect me at Stuttgart Central Station. The day is nearly finished now and I’m awake since yesterday morning 07:40 minus that three hour break. I’m still pretty excited that I really got to Wiesbaden and I really enjoyed that little trip (even if it was a bit expensive).
