I have a serious problem with money handling. I just can’t stop spending them, especially if I’m bored. And if only I’d spend them on something I actually need, like a couple of HDD to recover data from the broken ones; or a new pair of shoes, new pants; or at least lunches, for gods’ sake. But no, I prefer to starve myself every day, to wear clothes with holes for months if not years, etc.
Not Presto, but the new, Blink one, that is based on Chromium. Shitty or not, this is new Opera, and this is their first release for Linux. It’s been only a year… Anywho, I wrote a SlackBuild for it. It also makes use of alienBOB’s Chromium PepperFlash package, so now you can have the latest Adobe Flash in two browsers (which are basically the same thing though). Be warned that:
I had completely forgotten about it by the time my credit card was charged for it. It took a little effort to get it after it was shipped, but here it is now, finally!
A lunchbox I ordered a couple of weeks ago finally arrived! Maybe now I’ll start having lunches and stop coming home extremely hungry.
Yesterday I discovered Popcorn Time. No, I’ve heard about it for a while, but I only tried to watch something with it yesterday. (If you’re interested, it was Madagascar trilogy after I watched this video.) It’s very convenient: just fire up the app, choose your movie and hope you have enough popcorn. You may say something about piracy. Yes, the app is very controversial. But I have two reasons to use it.
I guess everyone who knows me online are used to see my avatar, because I’ve been using it since at least 2009, probably even earlier. It was made for me by my friend ZiPo, I like it a lot and don’t plan to change it any time soon. In case you’re clueless, that’s an avatar I’m talking about:
Last night I received an e-mail from DZAladan. Well, actually at first he wrote me on Steam that he couldn’t send it to my server for some reason (I blame M$’s routing), so I gave him another address. His e-mail contained the following:
Have a changeling in a swimsuit.
It was drawn by vavacung by my request.
You still don’t like changelings? Then we’re coming to you!
…thus blowing my month’s budget. Let’s count: about $400 for the bicycle, $200 for renting storage (because I don’t have any room in my apartment), $330 is what I give my parents every month. Total: $930. Considering my salary is about $800 I’m pretty much out of money this month. Although thanks to some savings I made I have enough to buy some food and pay my bills. But any regrets I could have about this decision just vanished when I sat on the bicycle and rode.
Two days ago… -------------I should have made this post two days ago, but I had not time due to many things and projects (one of them is a little thing I’m trying to do with the “Avian Six” you may have see before).
Now that I watched the Season 4 Finale, I’m catching a little breath and tell you a little thing happened two days ago.
You may say “Who fucking cares?!”. I say “Shut the fuck up, I enjoy sharing nice things with people”.
So, what happened?
It turned out, that I need a full featured website much less than a simple blog. I don’t want to have a blog on Tumblr, but I do like their implementation of it, so I went with Chyrp, which is pretty close. But then Chyrp died, so I moved to Hugo. The blog is NSFW, as I might occasionally post some pr0n and other disturbing stuff.
