Happy St. Patrick’s Day

Possum — Tue, 17 Mar 2009 22:05:48 +0000

I hope everyone is having a great St. Patrick’s Day.

I’m sporting a green t-shirt in honor of my Irish heritage. St. Patrick, of course, is well known for driving the pagans snakes out of Ireland. Today is not a good day to be a snake, I suppose.

Don’t have much else to say; I’m upgrading my system to Debian Squeeze in the meantime. I’ll see how that goes.

Merry Christmas ‘08

It’s only been over a whole year (367/368 days - something like that), and even this is late, but I hope everyone had a wonderful Christma-hanna-kwaanza-dan this year.

Merry Christmas

Just a Merry Christmas greeting from the Possum.

If you don’t celebrate Christmas, I wish you (I’m too lazy to list off all the other holidays) Happy Holidays!

PirateFest, Disney, Overlays (Oh My!)

I hope everyone had a Happy Thanksgiving week! In today’s post, I’ll briefly talk about PirateFest, a trip to Disney World, and some Gentoo Overlays I’ve been working on recently… And perhaps a little bit more.

Anime Festival of Orlando

Okay, fine… this is a really late post I know. It’s been several weeks since AFO but I’ll talk about it here briefly.

New LG Fusic LX550

My dad recently added a line to his shared plan from Sprint. They sent him this brand new “$500″ phone for free. It looks like an imitation iPod at first glance.

Got Rice?

Once upon a time, I attempted to recompile my Gentoo box, named haruko. Needless to say, I tried out a number of settings for the CFLAGS variable, and I finally came up with a working make.conf. I am now happily browsing with Firefox running in Enlightenment 17. The kernel I’m running is ck-sources. I’m still tweaking, and I may break my system again before I’m happy… but at least this works

Michigan Cop Eats Brownies

This is all over the news. I first saw it on CNN Headline News. I’m sure you’ve all heard the story. A cop in Dearborn, Michigan resigned after he and his wife ate some marijuana brownies. The full audio 911 call is difficult to find, so I’ve taken the liberty of hosting it. I recommend you listen to it; it’s hilarious!

Ubuntu Feisty Fawn with Beryl

I saw my cat today outside in the yard. She looked up at the roof of the house, turned toward me, and gave me the most pathetic look accompanied with a helpless squeak of a meow before looking back at the roof. I turned to see what was bothering her, and there was a little bird staring eagerly. The sparrows have been swooping at her quite a bit lately, and in numbers they are pretty powerful.
