    I say that whenever you get a fake e-mail from a phishing site, go to it and enter totally bogus and insulting information. Make sure to take a few cracks at the guy’s mom while your at it. Although if you are using Windows it’s probably not a good idea.

    I’ve upgraded Chiaki to Ubuntu 06.10.  I did a clean install this time because my 06.6 installation was pretty old, and had a good number of custom packages installed.  Luckily for me I found out that a lot of people have been having problems doing dist-upgrades.   I think 90% of those problems are because of…

    Today I got a package from my girlfriend. After having a pretty sucky day (locking myself out of my apartment, missing 15 minutes of class, and rushing to get to a class an hour early.) this box really really made my day. It had the cutest letter ever too, filled with dolphin stickers. I have…

    In a work related e-mail it seems that the word crash and unstability brings up a bunch of ads for “Fix & Install Windows Easy!” “Fix Windows DLL & Other PC Errors Instantly”. Seriously why do people use this shit, it amazes me every day.
