Dare to be stupid...
I try a teaspoon of Dave Gourmet Scorpion Pepper hot sauce. It was not a good idea.
Apocalypse today
Yesterday I was hanging out with my friends, ZiPo and Jim. We took a few pictures, during one of which the diaphragm in the ZiPo’s phone’s camera didn’t work properly, which in turn resulted in this post-apocalyptic looking photo. I edited it just a bit, and here’s the result.
Mirror mirror on the wall...
I finally set up a mirror for Slackware 14.1 and -current (both i686 and x86_64) as well as multilib for 14.1. Here are the links:
http://mirror.t-rg.ws/slackware/
ftp://mirror.t-rg.ws/slackware/
rsync://mirror.t-rg.ws/slackware/
Mirrors are updated every 2 hours. Be warned, however, that FTP access is VERY limited: only 4 clients at a time with no more than 2 connections per IP.
I may add other not too big repos in the future.
They say...
…that the Linux distributions are many. But there aren’t actually that many of them. Sure, there are literally thousands of so called “distributions” that quite a lot of software developers complain about, but if you look at them, almost all of them are spin-offs (and compatible ones) of just a few major distributions. How did I come to this conclusion? I became bored and wanted to try something new. But when I looked around, I didn’t see anything new.

TODAY... =====I FINALLY received a package.
Why “finally”? Well, while most of times it was rather easy, this time I discovered how much burocratic as fuck Italy is.
Katawa Shoujo
A few days ago I learned about a game called Katawa Shoujo. What appealed to me was a Linux version. I am not into visual novels, in fact this was my first game of such genre, but I decided to give it a try. After all, a bunch of cute disabled girls is a pretty original (albeit probably not new) concept. And I tried… And I took a lot of time from my sleep in order to complete the game.
Ponified avatar
This is a (sort of) ponified version of my avatar drawn by ZiPo. Well, its sketch looked more badass, while the finished version before edits looked more kawaii (and a bit wrong). But I’m more or less satisfied how it turned out in the end. Didn’t expect the pony to be so slender, though. I need to lose a few kilos to match him. Also, a horn wasn’t supposed to be this big, but ZiPo tends to like it when a pony has a big and thick… horn.
My newest buy
I finally bought this controller. For years I only knew PS-like controllers and never understood how you could play with D-Pad located like that on Xbox controllers. I am still yet to test it in some games, but for now it’s by far not that bad as ZiPo was trying to convince me.
Year 2014: Conclusion
So, today is December 31st, 2014. It’s time to summarize everything I’ve done during the year of horse. Thankfully, I kept most of the important events in this blog. Coding First (according to this blog, because I have terrible memory), I started sharing my code. The first script I shared was to “rip” music from Google Music Android app. Mostly I shared my SlackBuilds. Later this year I set up a git repo, and near the end of the year I finally made a GitHub account.
Friendships assessment
I’ve been thinking recently about my position in society, specifically about the people I can call my friends. Conclusion: I am lonely, even though I technically have people to talk to.
