I just bought one of those little robot vacuum cleaners from Samsung. Pretty impressed so far - there's a certain fun to watching it run through its little logic routines to figure out where to go next.

Yes indeed, firing up the roomba really makes me feel like I'm living in the future.

I still snicker every time I see an add for Lamps Plus here.

I found perhaps the most amazing field manual I've ever seen:

I have completed exactly half of my conscription period. One year down, one year to go.

So, I've been horribly sick the last four of days; high fever, delerium, nausia and a headache that would have left the Shivan Sathanas fleet dead in space. Yesterday I wake up feeling good and think I'm over it and that it was just a bad case of the flu.

I was wrong.

Today I noticed that I had developed blisters on my hands and feet, and after a call to the doctors found out what I've got.

Foot & Mouth. More specificly 'Hand, Foot and Mouth Disease' (HFMD), not to be confused with the livestock disease. It's a cheerful summer illness that affects children, and it also happens that I saw my neice and nephews in the time bracket from infection to symptoms.

If you never hear from me again, this is where I'll most likely be...

That's still quite unfortunate though. How does one contract this type of thing to begin with?

Got a spare five minutes, ICBA to read eleven+ pages of WHIYL so I'll just say hello

HOOOOW????!!!!!

Androgeos Exeunt · **Reply #21151 on:** June 10, 2012, 09:32:55 pm

How did you get infected?

FireSpawn · **Reply #21152 on:** June 11, 2012, 10:34:38 am

You get it from close contact with infected people. So spending a day with three toddlers who just love to hang off you like a bunch of howler monkeys might atribute to close contact. Add to the fact that we all went out for a meal and they were playing with other kids just adds to the possible sources.

All in all it's a fairly common virus, I just managed to get it because I was recovering from a minor case of bad prawn dim-sum.

Arrived in California for a summer internship.

I remembered last last night that not only did my laptop's Windows setup really need a partition with more space, the version of Linux Mint that I was using on another partition was no longer supported. So, since the night before your flight is a great time to reinstall Windows and Linux (you're up anyway, right?), I decided to install Windows on the larger 3rd partition and Linux on the 4th one, reformatting those partitions without resizing them. Turns out that the version of GParted on the Linux Mint disc ****ed up the MBR, including its partition table

although luckily, OS X depends only on the GPT, which was untouched by GParted, so it booted just fine. Still, error messages from gptsync are never a good sign.

And I don't remember ever having this problem with GParted in the past. I got pretty good at manually reconstructing the MBR's partition table with fdisk and repairing the MBR with bootrec.exe /fixmbr, though. Now my triple boot setup seems to be working and up-to-date, at least.

EDIT: Clarification.

just had a strange attack of nostalgia at 3:30 in the morning. went through old middle school yearbooks. tried to figure out what kids who signed them were talking about, or even remember who some of them were. some were just completely illegible and i'll never know. found a few phone numbers i might try if i get really drunk some night

also found a picture of one of my best friends from before i knew her.

and then i tried to find my old band director on the internet. i'm not sure why. i kinda have the urge to contact him.
