^ actually, it all depends on your mastery of your drug-intake. try to be aware of every sip and toke you have, and the effects it has on your body and mind. of course holding on to this mastery becomes substantially more difficult once the drug-intake increases, but that's part of the fun. tip: al...

@mb Thanks for all those streams though. Now to hack up a little thing to go through them all picking out the ones I want "next, next, next...OK, next..."

"Out on a bender" sounds quite old to me - seems to date back to when I was a kid - likewise "bent" but with various meanings like "a bent copper" (=corrupt policeman) or "bent as a bottle of chips" (=gay) or "bent out of shape" (=drunk or =pissed of...

^^ interesting. I haven't noticed any CPU issue with Pale Moon so far. Suddenly CPU usage went up to 99% or so and stayed there. htop said it was palemoon. Probably one of my addons, or the combination with whatever web page I was on, but I don't remember that happening with Firefox or Iceweasel an...

No, only one night, and oddly mild at that. More coming up soon though...

Tried Palemoon last week. It looks just like Firefox (based on the long term support version I think) and all my addons seemed to work OK. Maybe just a little bit lighter on memory, maybe a tiny bit faster, maybe my imagination. Unfortunately it suddenly started eating all my CPU. Didn't feel like g...

[all he can do is poke holes in other peoples' work] 1) ar=() while read n s ; do ar+=($n "$s") done < /usr/local/share/radiolist I can't see any $n values appearing - radiolist only has 1 word per line - or am I missing something? 2) no blank lines please! http://link_removed has one. htt...

I'm so rude, it took a week to log in and find this...
Well, thank you everyone!



I'll try and show up a bit more often, even if it's only to post some boring shell stuff.

I'm still a sucker for crispy fried starch, in whatever form - potato crisps, chips, prawn crackers, the crispy coating of Chinese fried chicken...

I know it's not that good for you so don't eat that stuff so often, but sometimes with a few beers...

For those too lazy to learn gimp's filters and stuff... If you're bloated out enough to have xscreensaver installed along with xscreensaver-data-extra then you have vidwhacker. /usr/lib/xscreensaver/vidwhacker will do random weird things to an image it finds and output it as a pnm image. No need to ...

Really enjoying the random mixes. Hearing music I didn't even know was there, and other stuff sounds quite new taken out of its usual context.

Any chance of some pasta, bread, potatoes, rice for the carb addicts?

I quite like Comic Sans MS
- never really figured out why people hated it so much.

^ spaces in filenames on Linux still? you are such a heretic John! use my fclean-script (it is out there, somewhere) to clean up those damn spaces, and make all the shit lowercase in the process. much nicer ;) Yeh, spaces and odd characters (except /) are all allowed in Unix so I feel we should jus...

Pidsley, this was a great idea! One of those why didn't I think of that? moments. I have an old 500MB Ipod shuffle I use in the car for which this will be perfect. I had to hack at your code a bit, though, to fit my purposes. My music is a big rambling directory tree full of stuff from all kinds of ...

Partition labels are very useful. Save you a lot of work sometimes.

^ Do you or your wifey know the story about the "fragrant" Biluochun tea, or the reason why it is so "aromatic"? ;) Happy googling :) Ah finally found my way back to this thread and looked it up! @Verändert Ceylon's my favourite too. Brews fast, and plenty of colour and taste. N...

One reason I've not been around here so much lately is trying to keep tabs on what Abe and his friends have been doing. The most extreme right-wing PM Japan has had since the war. Scares the shit out of me. I wrote a rant here: http://asazuke.com/2014/02/16/walking-backwards-for-christmas/ Many link...

Re translations, google translate still has its limits apparently. That came out as:

"You kenndsch 'ebbes uff'd Rippa verdroga more nemm no' s Leffel"

Evening all - here in darkest Japan Wednesday is over and it's 1:12am Thursday. A can of happoshu before bed. That pork did look good in spite of having multiple issues...

Massive snow further East but in Nagoya it's all melted already.
