snooch to the motherfucking pooch, yo

well, you guys complain about the OIT dicking you over?
Sam's got a story!!!
For the past two weeks, I've been over my /var/mail limit by 6 megs, but I never have had more than 128K there... hurm... then on tuesday morning they drew the line and terminated my e-mail privlidges... I realized this this afternoon and went down to el. rich building to ask about this... apparently the quota(1M) command went to shit on anvil and I was it's bitch, this time... apparently this happens often and yes... I'm pissed. but it's taken care of, so I'll just go pick up the 140 page manual they printed out for me. *BWHAHAHAHAHAH*
~seraphus
ps: I'm also gonna ask for a recompance of a lot of banannas, then save them until the end of the semester and do an HTTP mirror of something really big and bandy intensive... *cackle*

Die Eastnet Die

So my box is finally getting stable. Network outtages are becoming more and more a problem of Eastnet instead of my server.

Yet they remain an unbearable problem.

To demontrate, read this text:
Packet Loss to $1.65 Hub: 0%
Packet Loss to Eastnet Rtr: 0%

It updates every 5 minutes or so, showing the packet loss in percentage to both the house hub and the main eastnet router.

A percentage in packet loss is like this: if i say "HELLO!" to a hub 10 times, and it only says "HI!" back to me 5 times, I have a %50 packet loss. This usually means that roughly half of my outgoing/incoming traffic is ignored, much less properly dealt with.

Goddamn OIT.

YOKKAI!

Um.... YEAH!

So my sister is graduating from high school, today. (do not fear those who care i will take many pictures with my camura!) Then tonight, for reasons unclear to me, she has gotten me in to her Project Graduation! (do not fear, those who care, I will take many pictures with my camura!)

Then, I am to ride home with my Mother1. Aiieee.

THEN! I have lots of fun work to do at CRB:

  • Write Visual Basic (s/basic/python/g) for wearable computers!
  • Act like the artificial intelligence Jane from the Ender's Game series in a rather dumb research project2
  • Build a computer for me to do my work on3.
  • Get paid full time for doing all these things and more4.
IN THE MEANTIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:

I have to go shower5.

--Schmarty

1. In returning her car to her, I put myself at her mercy, hoping that she will drive me back to my summer Atlantan home in the Frat Ghetto before we can have any truly terrible arguments.
2. The guy wants a computer to sit and listen to you talk over a cell phone setup and try to give you helpful information based on questions and your ambient surroundings. The only problems with his is A) he is not intelligent enough to fashion such a computer system and B) Gibby and I are the only undergrads (read: bitches who can be made to do anything). So we have to play Wizard to Jane's Oz for hours on end.

3. YAY!

4. YAY YAY YAY!

5. I ALSO GET TO SEE AMY IN T-MINUS 12 DAYS!! HOLY CRAP!!3433443434434

This is just pathetic.

--- 128.61.98.1 ping statistics ---
630 packets transmitted, 87 packets received, 86% packet loss
round-trip min/avg/max = 1.6/231.7/1663.5 ms

I've found part of our problem, Schmarty. It seems that due to the nature of our routing nightmare (if you've ever looked at the netmask, you'll note we're in a .192), we're being subjected to pretty much all of eastnet's problems. On or about midnight EST something happens that sends this router into the shitter. It ain't cool. It's gotta be fixed. I just posted to git.oit.questions.

Oop. Cd's done.

We Regret....

That Eastnet and my webserving box have gone to shit, bringing the page down often and without warning. I would fix the problem with the server, but i am faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar away, getting hungry and waiting on my sister's graduation, which is on Friday (tomorrow. ignore the wrong date up there).

All that said: Amy, I miss you. I miss you a whole damned lot. Come visit, soon, pleasema'am!!!!!

Dollah Sixty Five

Otherwise known as Kappa Alabama, otherwise known as "the frat more dilapidated than Phi Tau".

This is where I hang my hat. Geeyarrrr!! :)

I will put up pictures sometime soon. I will also have this post up and site back up sometime soon. Sadly for me, I have no internet until the Office of Information Technology gives Delta Sigma Phi their hub back. Then I will be on a mad crazy frat line. Wheee.

No, I have not joined a frat. I am living here because it is $600 for the entire summer. Not that I got a really good deal or anything, because the house is pretty ghetto.

Aiiiee. I am tired. I miss Amy a lot. I have her grinnin', pink-hair'd picture sitting next to me on my corner desk. I've been staring at it too much in the last 30 minutes or so. =sigh=

Maybe the frat kids will get back with the copied door keys, soon, and I can go to Chad and Loren's and try not to think about sad things.

They rent these rooms for SO cheap!) either Saturday or Sunday. Whee! Hopefully I'll get in there and get internet all setup all quicklike, re-direct bob.dy.kz and be on the way to happiness.

what if I'm behind a firewall? eek. that might be bad. i would have no inet. eek.

To all those asleep

::sigh::


so... here i am - it is now (well you can read time stamps as well as I can) and I just woke up. Isn't it just the most depressing thing in the world to have to wake up when it is still dark outside? It is even more depressing that pretty much all of my friends just went to sleep. (In my dazed state I looked at my buddy list to see if anyone was still online - but it turned out that I missed them by about 10 minutes).


::sigh::
So as I try to stay awake for my final in 3 hours I listen to possibly the worst radio station in the world and travel to your house where I kill you in your asleep.

Holy Shit and Wholly Shit. I gots so much to do.

Two exams Tuesday (8am and 11:30am respectively).
Two more on Wednesday (8am and 2:50pm respectively).
Gotta pay for hausing to guarantee myself and Gibby and place to live for summer. We'll be livin' in Delta Sigma Phi (i think). I don't even really know where it is. Yeep.
Gotta get keys made for my mom's car, since I lost 'em, but they require SO MUCH MAD CRAZY PAPERWORK. Yipe.
Gotta take my loaner keys back to GaTech hausing to get the new ones for my room.
Gotta hope all this paperwork for my job gets pushed through in time for me to get paid AND not starve.
Umm. Umm. Umm. Maybe that's all. It seems like a lot. Maybe something is missing there. Oh well.

I am hungry. I am going to shower and run eat.

--Schmarty

P.S. - Oh yeah, I almost forgot.... Gotta move outta this room and into another, get Amy's stuff to my dad's house, and get her to Calimafornica so's she can get to werkin' at Xerox PizARC. :)

What the Fizuck

Okay, so we wrote this damned thing in Java.

It mostly works. In some cases.

So we put it all together and had it all working and turnin time came along. We panicked, we zipped everything up, we shipped it off to the turnin script.

To see if it was all good, we sent it to a brand new computer that hadn't seen anything from the project.

It worked under two different forms of Java on two different operating systems.

SO WHY THE FUCK CAN'T I FIND A COMPUTER IN THIS CLUSTER THAT CAN RUN IT?!?!

Something Awful

Something awful just happened. You know those plastic 20 oz coke bottles? Well they give them out for free at work. So I finished mine, and I was trying to suck all the air out of it, but I got my tongue stuck in the opening. The bottle kept sucking at my tongue, and it really hurt.

Then I noticed some liquid left in the bottle. I thought it was coke, but it was really spit. And I drank it.

And it wasn't very good.

Projects and Other Fun Things!

Hey Merty! What is your project and why does it involve something refered to as "Dina(h) the Cat"? If it also include an Eddi(e) the Chinchilla, we might have to have a talk (mainly because there's only 1 'e' in Eddi, you know.)

Not that anyone really cares, but my own project at the moment involves breaking variably sized messages into 8K packets and sending them reliably across a network. (Basically we've written a bastardized cross between UDP and TCP. We don't have a handshake agreement, but we can still be called reliable. Go figure.) It essentially works for any message of size X, except for when we randomly dump garbage to the screen. This garbage dump doesn't seem to be variable on the number of times we've sent messages, or the size of the messages sent. Yeah, it's a lot of fun.

My secondary project involves getting my laundry done sometime in the near future. All the damn laundry machines on West Campus are broken again, and I am in need of clothes before I go to Philadelphia this weekend...

=kzznnnnnnnnnnk=

Well, it's 3:16am. I've been working on Skeek for nigh-on 5 hours. I can't say that's entirely true. Very little of the work I have been doing has been directly with Skeek. Most of it has been going to reading tokenized HTML from search results off of MP3.com and listen.com. Ugh.

That's not a problem, though. I am in pretty good shape as far as this Squeak project goes. The thing that does worry me is that I have another project due later in the day that no one in my group is currently working on. Here's a rundown:

  • Me: I'm not working on it because I am doing another project. Not to mention the fact that I have done nearly all of the design/implementation/coding/work up to this point. I just hope my damned engine works.
  • Amy: About 4 hours ago, Amy came here to take a break from working on the project in question. She was going to get food around 12:30am and get back to work. I expect her to wake up Real Soon Now and to *NOT* bite me like she did when I tried to wake her. (Editor's Note: I am just kidding about the biting. It is encouraged.)
  • Kamron: Kamron is a busy busy man. So much so that he doesn't have time to notice that he put up an away message for 'Sleep' when he was actually running off to a meeting. Poor kid.
  • Donko: It is possible that Donko *is* working on this project. He may be beating his face against the monitor in frustration and sweating from the superhuman effort he is putting forth for the project. Even so, no one will be able to read his code, or explain why the icon for 'Dina(h) the Cat' looks like an X.


Damn us all.

Be on the lookout for my project, though. I'll slap it up on the website when I get a chance (look for it in a year or two).

Wow. People posted to my page. That's good. It's not really weird, but it's good. What strikes me as weird is the fact that I did not notice these webpage changes for several days, and only finally saw them when I used my own webpage as a test subject for Squeak parsing.

Yeek.

Funny that I have time to post about it instead of doing Skeek.

Or Java.

Fucking CS degree. WHIPPEEE.

And hopefully I'll have some keys soon.

It's hard to tell, but that's not just black hair. It's black/blue. It's pretty fun in the right light. I enjoy it muchly. Mostly because Amy keeps saying "Look at my cute little punk! You're so CUTE!"

That I'm back was probably a little premature. Yeesh.

So I'm here at the CRB having basically discovered that the LED pulsing project I've been trying to make work (put way-too-much power through an LED for just enough time that it will be really bright but not blow up) will just not work. Wheeeeeeeee. I hope I don't get fired.

Sorry for being gone more. It happens. I suck.

On the other hand, Amy now has a network in her room and my laptop can be a part of it, so I may be finding myself online and able to do magic things like edit my webpage!!!!! YAAY!!! I think my first goal is to find a decent program for linux that will convert and resize files in big chunks from the command line. That would make my life so HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY. Yours, too, since I would be using it to thumbnail my folders of digital camera pictures whose subjects range from my trip to California to drunk people chilling in the Woodruff elevator. WHEEEEE.

Adam Carolla never saw it coming

So last night I was up procrastinating at the CRB, waiting for an LED to explode (it never did. YAY!) and listening to the radio.

We had tuned in to Loveline (almost nightly at 11pm on 96.3FM, for you atlanta-folk) and were chuckling along when a girl called in. My pretend transcript goes something like this:

Adam: Hello, [some name], you're [some age], right? What can we do for 'ya?
Girl: Hi, my boyfriend is a real computer geek. He has a webpage and everything. He's really into it. Anyway, sometimes during sex he makes me ... ... say things...
Dr. Drew: blah blah
Adam: blalalalaah
Girl: ditsy ditsy blah ditsy yo ditsy yay.
...
Adam: So what does he make you say?
Girl: He makes me say... ... ... "all your base are belong to us." I don't understand it.

But she's such a sweet lady, its sad that she's all alone.

You whiner. You whine about everything. Quit your whining and enjoy the Dancing Eggplants. That would be how they congratulate you at the end of Zero Wing. It's funny as hell.

In order to view it, you'll need a Genesis Emulator, the Game, and the Save State. Wherever you install the emulator to, put the save state in the base of that drive. So if you installed the emu to C:\Program Files\wgens\, put the save state in C:\. Then load the game, and hit F8. That's the end of the game. For all skill levels (trust me, I've already beaten it on all 3 levels).

I find it really funny. A long time ago I had seen stileproject.com to have "All Your Base Are Belong To Us!" as its title. I didn't recognize it, but I thought it was pretty damned funny. Late last week, wiess linked me to a file on his server (guess what it was) saying some guy had given it to him over IRC. I clicked it. I watch it. I fell out of my chair. I took several minutes to recover. So I downloaded it to my web page, linked it in my away message and walked away.

A couple of days later people started hitting it, and they JUST HAVEN'T STOPPED.

I didn't make this shockwave. Word around the web is that I am the originator, or atleast the main outlet for people who wanna see it. I find that really funny. Supposedly, the guy who made it is happy that it's getting so much traffic.

Meeee too.

Hehee.

Anyway, supposedly there is a new one, with cleaner images and a longer version of the song. Enjoy it.

While I'm at it, here's the actual game, you'll need a a Genesis emulator to play it. Enjoy the insanity.

immediately turn around and post links to the ROM of the
game that *I* actually took time to *LOOK FOR*."

For Great Justice!!!

It would seem that an updated version of the famed 'All Your Base' shockwave flash has been released by the same authors as the first version. Nothing major, just some minor graphical adjustments, and a slightly longer song. You can find it here or wherever schmarty decides to mirror it to.

In similar news, I figure bob.dy.kz has taken about 12000 individual hits to the original, while my own visyz.dy.kz has only taken about 400. But then I've also gotten about as many hits for the very poorly dubbed zerowing mov. In terms of linkage, well I only got the referal log turned on yesterday so I'll make it a very conservative 20 individual posts to message boards and other web pages, the bulk of the referrals coming from (get this) web-mail systems. It would seem AYB has become a chainmail. Scary.

Contradiction

Maybe it's just me, but see if this strikes you as an odd series of events:

  1. I let my page slump.
  2. People tell me to post
  3. I continue to not-post
  4. They yell at me to post
  5. I say I can't think of anything to post
  6. They say "Talk about your life, talk about whatever. Say 'Helloooo! I have a girlfriend!'"
  7. I do.
  8. They yell at me for 'bragging' about my life.
Hehehee. Thanks, guys. ;) Next time atleast post something about yourself in addition to "Marty you are being a jerk with your posting about yourself on your webpage," pleeze.

Meantime, I am really freakin' hongry. I must needs eats foods.

of ibuttons and drinking

Hey schmarty. I hope you are feeling better now.
anyways, gibby was showing me your nice little TINI board last night, and once he described to me what the iButton is, i rembered that I have one here in my dorm. It's an older one, anyways, I'll get it to you sometime. also, the spare transformer I have laying around claims to be a 3.7V by 350mA, (my whaked-assed multimeter clocked it around 7.5 tho... :/). I also don't see why you don't splice into Cal's 5v and ground rails. but hey...
The iButton I have is a

You have no chance to survive make your time.

I love how you give credit where credit is due. I'm the one who found the AYB first (though I admit it was shown to me via IRC, the site I ripped it off of is here). Incidentally, you can also find it here. But this is of no concern, since I'm sure it will make the rounds pretty quickly and be on everybody's page, to the point where World+Dog (to steal from TheRegister) has seen and is bragging about how badassed All Your Base is. I ph34r the day the script kiddiez find it though... sigh.

On another note, I've stumbled across a bad dubbing of the full intro here. The game is called ZeroWing, and is for the SNK. I forget what SNK stands for right now, but I vaguely remember it being a very old console that either tried to compete in the same era as Sega Genesis/Turbo Grafx 16/Neo-Geo/SNES. That or it was NES/Sega Master System's competition. In either case, it sucked and died really hard and so now you can only play ZeroWing through emulator. Yaaay emulators! There is Life after Death! (For game consoles, anyways).

You're sick because I probably got you sick, der Schmeenkey. I am better now, but 18 has the flu (so she thinks), and I wasn't feeling too well a couple of days ago. So fear not! It will only last a day (or so).

Oh. Rant #1. >:P

Harumph

Well, it's another Friday, much like any other Friday of any other week, only different.

Ugh. I'm sick. I think I have a headcold. It's really weird, because NO ONE I know has a headcold but me. Where did it come from? What has have I done that I should fall victim to such an illness??? It is a mystery, surely.

You Need To See This.

Tomorrow I need to go to Radio Shack®. You would not BELIEVE the problems I have had in trying to get something as simple as a 2N2222A transistor. They are supposed to be one of the most common electronic components in existence, yet I cannot get my hands on them. There are none here at the Future Computing Environments lab, and every time I try to arrange transportation to Ack Electronics, where I know they will have them, my plans fall through. So tomorrow I am going to Radio Shack® and I am gonna get me some damned parts. GARRRRR.

Played some GAMES yesterday for the first time in a loooooooong time. Got in a bunch of Tribes, then some Quake 3 Pong!!! If you own Quake 3 then you NEEDS MUST TRY this mod atleast once. It will stomp on your head.

In case you're wondering why I haven't updated in so long and why I'm talking about computer games like they're a special treat, it's because I seem to have gone and gotten myself a girlfriend. I don't know how much she wants me to talk about her, here, but I've got plenty to say if she doesn't mind me saying it. She makes me really happy and she gets as much of my time as she wants and probably a little bit more. She's really really really great. I'll be more specific if and when I find that she likes me bragging to the world about how cute/smart/funny/wonderful she is. :)

Of course, most of you who read my page (hi mom!) already know about Amy. You will be hearing lots more, I am sure. Prepare yourself.

Sheesh

I haven't updated in so long that my very own webbrowser didn't autocomplete the URL for news posting. That is soooooo sad.

I'm sorry for abandoning my page so mercilessly, to all three of you who keep poking me to update it. I think I will try soon to mirror it onto my laptop in an effort to work on it when I am not in my room (i.e. - any time). I don't know how that will work out, but... ::shrug::.

Sooooorrrrry...

Oh well. Lots of crazy junk is going on lately. I have started sort of doing some research work in the Future Computing Environments lab up at the Centennial Research Building. If I can make some LEDs blink in time with a nice video chip, then I can maybe keep working there and do fun researchy things, for CREDIT!

Classes seem to be going okay. Got a good grade on my first programming assignment, so I am happy. I think I can make the 3.0 I need. ... Keyword being *THINK*. I'm putting forth the effort, though, so I should make it. ::hope hope hope:: I have a crapload of programming to do tomorrow night and this coming weekend for both 2340 (squeek!) and 2335 (PSY1000 for programmers!). =sigh=

Crazy other stuff has gone on. I got my hair dyed deep dark crazy red (it looks way different in different light) and cut for FREEE (well I paid for the dye). It was SOOOOOOO neat. I spiked it up and was all punk for awhile, but then it got too long and fell down. Thankfully I have a digital camera so I got a few pictures. Those will hopefully go up, along with a WHOOOOLE lot of other pictures I have from the new fun happy XMas toy. :)

La la la. I should either now learn parallel port programming under linux or do some Japanese or Combinatorics homework or move things around on my computers in preparation for messing up my local LAN or working on my webpage. Soooooo many things to do... it almost makes me wanna go to bed. ;)
