my dog passed on yesterday i’m unaware of what time.. i came home at 12 midnight and heard the news.. I honestly was shocked. and despite her being a niusance to me in her life time.. i actually miss her.. no more early morning annoying wake ups from her licking my toes. (i actually woke up late this morning because she wasn’t there to do it). I dont even really wanna talk about how she died.. :’( i think thats it for me and pets.. i dunno if i’m gonna get another.

vista is shit. i cant work with it. I”m going back to where i’m comfortable good old ubuntu linux. I guess it makes more sense to put the work in to get it how you want it as long as it works how you want it to.. (hope I didn’t lose you).. so I’ll let you know how edgy eft really behaves from a fresh install upgrades kinda suck.

I needed a system to use asap that could be easily configured no need to fix video resolution and all so i formatted and installed vista. i was amazed i’ll give you that. there was no driver install needed i installed and everything worked right out the box, latest driver for everything. but within a day vista’s nasty bugs started showing up. wifi stopped workign dont know why. my window close button became greyed out and could only be closed via alt + f4. so what did i do… i formated again

oh due to this show on nbc called heroes i have bougt a 21 inch rca flat screen (not flat panel) tv. yeh.. well worth it.. heroes should be watched live before tehn rewatched in hd on dvd player

Yeh this should be an old entry to be honest i cant remember when i actually did this.. but here we go.

I upgraded from ubuntu dapper drake to edgy eft synaptic, it went fairly smooth or so it seemed. on reboot my splash was gone so i had no clue if my system had halted of if it was doing anything at all really. eventually gdm started. then it crashed within a matter of seconds, after some thinking i realized it could be the custom compiz settings i had. so i went in to my gdm.conf (which had been overwritten) and realize that it was all back to default so that was not the problem. Xorg needed re-configuring. after that was done gdm would start. I attempted to login gnome starts then just crashes and returned to gdm..

I resorted to using fvwm after digging adn digging i found away to open my gnome session from within fvwm and from there i removed the custom session startups tha ti had set namely the dbus and compiz startup i had to set to get things workign smoothely in dapper. After doing that everything seemed perfect. shortly after upgrading i decided hmm let me watch an episode of black blood brothers (cool anime). mplayer starts up in the normal window size i try to maximize it does however the video is still small.  no matter what i do mplayer will not maximize the video.

Gnome begins to move extremely sluggish.. I have no clue what is going on.. packages are broken everywhere. the seemly smooth upgrade didn’t go so smooth after all.

Manning cup and Dacosta cup feels like a demon that i’m fighting with and man its a losing battle i’ve never done a more boring and disgusting job.. i wish it would just go away but thats not how the demons of our work world works is it. Just gonna have to try and overcome it with somee holy code eventually.

I haven’t really been blogginb much maybe its because i’m not happy at work anymore.

But enough with the sad part, I’m now a hereos addict and i cannot wait till tomorrow to see the new episode. and i’ve decided to build a pvr so i can record th episode and watch em when i feel like.

linux wise, i finally upgraded to edgy eft it took me long enough right. only thing that happened on attempt was gnome kept crashing so i had to use fvwm for a bit until i figured out  a way how to open gnome within fvwm (by starting the gnome session locted in /usr/share/xsession/gnome/gnome.session) then i disabled the compiz startup and  a few othrs that i had to set to get it working now i’m back in a real desktop enviroment (kde is rubbish fvwm sucks and nothing else matters really).

currently everything that used to work in dapper works in edgy i did not have to redo my wifi setup with ndiswrapper which i had to redo when i upgraded from breezy to dapper. and thats about it really.

oh one more drama, scotia puts on a car show yearly at the national arena right i was told it was this saturday so me and a lady friend were supposed to hit the spot she wanted to do highlights from the event for her website “http://yaadrides.com” however right before i laced up my shoe to leave the house i got a call from her saying “um.. its next week, there’s a jlp convention going on”.. then i looked dodwn on my shirt (orange shirt) thinking omfg i would have died today walkin into the arena filled with green sporting a bright orange shirt (no i’m not a partisan person) and frankly thinkg both the parties governing and opposition should be sent on a one way ride to hell. bruce is evil and the current government is rubbish..

bleh just the drama mix with my views and what i been up to lately.. till next time.

I stood angrily listening to some distrubed (ten thousand fists in the air). For the 45 mintues i stood at the bustop only one bus had passed and it was going to halfway tree, i work down town. so i stood and i waited and waited and waited. and waited. and i could kill a jutc driver this morning i would but that would be a mindless killing. i should kill the minister of transport and the prime minister (old one) maybe new.. i dunno.. but dammit star the bus situations stinks. Finally about 8:10 am i got a bus right. and i had to ride on the bus step to down town kingston. It took me a whopping 1 hr to get to town which is a 10 minute drive away. we wen via the HIGHWAY!!!!!! which should speed things up.. sigh…… on the bustep there were 6 additional people 7 including my self. can you imagine what an uncomfortable ride that must be.

how cruel is the life of the lower middle class in the island of jamaica..

today my senhieser hd202 and my altec lansing ahs302i arrived. the audio clarity on the senheiser is unbulievable.. i’m hearing things in the music i never heard before man.. love it.. kinda huge to walk with on the road but i just dont give a damn.. the altec lansing headset i got for skype mainly i love it as welll. its a fold up one too which kinda mkes it even cooler.. love it.

i have offcially closed my wallet for the month of november. i have purchased a cellphone, 2 high quality headphones and a new camera.. hmm close to 40k of spending.. i’ld say thats about enough… mind you 30 of that forty came form selling the old cam and the old phone but still.. i just feel bad.

So sunday was kinda an odd one for me very unusual. i had my movie date sunday morning actually around 6 in the morning home girl showed up, we watched then just chilled till like 12 maybe 1pm before she left so she spent 6 hours with me.. it was fun.. best sunday i had in a while just chatting random shit. I sold the qtek like when she was leaving. and then proceeded to mona to pick up the 6111. when i got to the bus stop i relized all the buss’s were not going to halfway tree or downtown they all had the letter “b” attached to their route numbers finally i stopped one asking whats the deal they said its a new system that happens on sundays and on public holidays, only shuttle bus’s run in the city and they take you to a central station where you wait for the bus which is going to your destination. total bullshit. believe me wasted a lotof time waiting at the “central station” i was so annoyed i could kill everyone out there but then that would really solve nothing. so with the horrid jutc bus system the disgusting wait and then the annoying highway regulators i ended up reaching mona about 6 and i left my house at 3 and it was a SUNDAY where ther weren’t many vehicles on the road but because of the highway morons there was a traffic line.. yaw on a flipping sunday.. lucky i left my gunz at home that day they were.

with regard to work.. monday was kool i kinda did a good amount of stuff on manning and docasta cup the commenting system is finally live where people can comment on articles and itwill be shown for approval on the backend for the administrator of the site. all thats left is the pointstandding calculation and then i’m done with that site and unto an even more annoying task, which i will make childsplay of more than likely.. today i also got a really annoying client off my back who had problems exporting an mssql database and kept annoying me but finally it has been done (had to do it my self) and the person should no longer be calling me.
