    You know, I've had a few doubts about dreamhost from time to time, I know they oversell their bandwidth, but what host doesn't I guess. Still, having an ancient version of ruby with no way to change it so I can use merb, which requires at least ruby 1.8.6, kinda blew since it meant I couldn't get ircwall running on dreamhost. Well, that finally changed!

    We all know September 1993 never ended, well, now I'm saying that October 2008 never ended. This is because I've seen a sudden influx of creepy people that speak broken english and just generally make life annoying, this is a distinct difference from people who simply do not follow nettiquete. So I'm just going to leave it at this, IF YOU DON'T SPEAK ENGLISH WELL STAY THE HELL AWAY FROM ENGLISH SPEAKING IRC CHANNELS AND STOP BEING ANNOYING CREEPS!

    This is an extension to my previous tip about moving elements in ruby arrays around. In fact, this is yet another mixin that only has one line of real code, and even though it's quite obvious I thought I'd post it here.

You know what, I'm not even going to bother writing a summary. If you're one of those annoying 'save the children' fucks either read it or not, whatever, I don't care.

    If I don't remember what day of the week it is I'll just click my clock applet and see, thank you, so why do I need a really obnoxious timestamp on my panel clock? I would personally much prefer it if I could just see the time in ISO 8601 format and move on with my day, and that's what I did.

    Recently I've been trying to figure out how to get irssi to load when my system boots, so all of my channels and scripts are ready before I even log in, and I can just type "screen -drU" and roll. After asking my friends on IRC, I was pointed to /etc/rcS.d/S80bootmisc.sh, which appears to be a handy place for tossing random commands you want run at boot.

    Wah, wah, profanity is bad because the words are dirty/bad/evil/whatever, to those people, go fuck yourselves. I say this, because in the grand scheme of things they're just words, I could say fibblgits and call it a profane word, but no one else would because it doesn't have the socitital notion of being 'bad'., unlike the other four letter words we all know so well.

    In case you didn't know, I like following the musings of Chris Pirillo, Recently, one of his viewers sent in a list of iPhone problems that may be AT&T's fault. Some of these seem pretty far fetched to be the fault of AT&T, while others wouldn't suprise me.

Ubuntu 8.10, the Intrepid Ibex is finally released, do you have your .torrent? By the way, next time Ubuntu release team, why not seed the ISO's using Jigdo? Then I could update my RC image with about 60MB of updates and seed without having to redownload everything!

    So, the GNOME developers finally decided they'd make a break and eventually put out a GNOME 3.0, which is good. Obviously, knowing the GNOME developers it will still focus on more evolutionary changes as always, but hopefully we can focus on some revolutionary ones as well.
