At the moment I have 3 competitive Pokemon battles on my record: 1 against Nyashka, my friend’s ex-boyfriend, and 2 against Jim, my friend. Somehow I manage to win them all despite not being into PvP in Pokemon because this is what competitive battles are to me:
An update to this picture. A rather badass one. This is hands down ZiPo’s best work so far and rightfully so: he spent almost an entire day worth working on this picture. You can see quite a few positive changes from the first revision of this OC. The cutie mark is a subject to change. The character doesn’t have the name, the story or talent yet, but despite that he’s not an adoptable.
It’s a HOWTO about PulseAudio in Slackware Linux. I already had the article almost ready on my blog, so when I finally got accepted to SlackDocs project, I just edited the formatting and posted the entire thing.
Yup, that’s totally more important than a new pair of shoes. It’s almost summer anyway and rains are about to stop in a few days, so I can wait one more month. I was so excited! At first, that is. After all, who doesn’t like to play with a new gadget, even if it’s almost like the one I already own? But then I turned it on. I was able to choose English language for the menu, although a few elements of the interface are still in Russian, which kinda bugs me.
Because I feel like it. Yes, in the bathroom. No, no duckface in the mirror, but still a stupid face.
Thanks to facetune for post-processing. To compare, here’s the original.
For when you crave chocolate cake right now. 4 table spoons of flour 2 table spoons of oil 2 table spoons of cocoa[1] 3 table spoons of milk 1 egg Mix everything and add whatever you want (chocolate pieces, fruits, yogurt). Grease a cup with butter or margarine and fill it with the batter. Microwave it at 700 Watt for 3.5 to 4 minutes. [1] - The sweetened drinking kind. If you use unsweetened baking cocoa, add 2 table spoons of sugar.
I made pages to test your browser’s support of various audio and video formats. Instead of relying on some JavaScript (which doesn’t always report the correct information), I put the actual media files so you could test them.
I thought it would be boring to put the same video/audio, so I used different files.
It was inspired by this page.
This is a work in progress that I later plan to post on http://docs.slackware.com/. Look in the comments section for changelog.
Today, 2015-05-12, while I was forced to work as a secretary during a slow season, I had nothing to do, so I remembered this post on LQ and decided to write some sort of a HOWTO for PulseAudio. I do not possess extensive knowledge about PulseAudio, nor do I even use it on a regular basis, but I do have some experience with it and want to provide at least a base that can be later extended by other members of Slackware community. This article was written by memory (plus some googling), so I’ll need to improve it later.
Last night my friend ZiPo revisited my ponified avatar, which is more like an OC now, I think. Now it has more proper anatomy, more defined hooves, a bit smaller horn, more chest fluff and a spiked band, like the one on the neck, on a right foreleg. Unfortunately, ZiPo is very lazy, so I doubt he’ll ever finish this sketch, nonetheless is looks damn good. He also came up with a cutie mark, when I said the character was a blank flank.
Last Sunday, after upgrading my old netbook (ASUS Eee PC 900) from Debian Wheezy to Jessie, I decided to try Debian Jessie Live on my laptop. Unfortunately, the provided image couldn’t boot in UEFI environment, so I had to switch booting mode from UEFI to legacy. After playing with the distro for a while (it had problems with my wireless card’s drivers), I changed the booting mode back to UEFI and rebooted. To my surprise, there wasn’t Slackware option in the boot menu anymore. It looks like changing the booting mode changes something in UEFI settings. Anyway, I needed my Slackware, so I booted my rescue USB with Parted Magic. It was a bit dated (version from June, 2014), maybe that’s why efibootmgr (v0.5.3) refused to work with my laptop’s UEFI firmware. At least I confirmed that my ELILO files were intact in EFI partition, so all I needed was efibootmgr to add an option to the boot menu. Somehow I didn’t think about booting into Windows 8.1, which I also have on my laptop, to add a boot option to UEFI, but if I did that it wouldn’t be so interesting, would it?
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.
