I cried in front of him.

I’m too addicted to books for my own good.
suPHP
The people who develop suPHP are assholes for not providing further documentation than what they’ve got on their site.
On Debian/Ubuntu, the packagers are assholes for not providing a sane configuration. The whole point of suPHP is to use the paranoid setting.
The people who develop PHP as a language are assholes for not getting their head out of their asses, considering security an...

Bill Gates
Just seen on twitter
_Loops: A los 31 años, Bill Gates hizo su primer billón de dólares…si, si, mucha lana… pero a cuantas viejas se cogió para ese entonces? enosis: @Loops A muchas. Pagando, pero a muchas.

Of invitations to the good times
Over the past months I’ve realized I need an active invitation in order to enjoy being at a bar, pub, disco or house. If I arrive at a place and find someone friendly there that counts as an invitation too; the other person will usually provide a pathway to enjoyment.
I got this theory since I first read the Artemis Fowl series. It’s a stretch, yes, but I’ve realized it applies...
Banshee
See that volume control button at the top right corner? Reason enough not to use it. All civilized music software should let you control volume without having to click anything at all. Hell, even iTunes does it and we know many people aren’t fond of it.
The fact it’s using Mono doesn’t really help its case either. The decision by the developers to also encompass video...

Songbird
Used version 1.2.0, which is the one currently being offered as stable. The application itself takes some extra work to get it going since it’s a XUL application. There are pre-built Ubuntu packages which you don’t get from the developers themselves, but rather from third parties who offer them. This means you have to trust these packagers when performing the installation.
The program...

Exaile
After my update to Karmic Koala I found myself in need of a new music player, specially after using the godsforsaken mess that is Amarok 2. In my search for a new music player for Linux I happened to find Exaile. It describes itself thusly:
Exaile is a music manager and player for GTK+ written in Python. It incorporates automatic fetching of album art, lyrics fetching, artist/album information...

Karmic Koala Remove PulseAudio →
Yes, the title is pure link bait, designed to attract google’s attention to this entry. Hopefully you’ll find it useful.

Karmic Koala
All in all, a good update, with only a few issues here and here. Except for sound. Dear gods, the more I deal with the piece of screwmotherfucking shit that is PulseAudio, the more I hate it. Perhaps PulseAudio isn’t the one to blame, but Canonical’s implementation of it certainly sucks zebra donkey’s balls.
I am seriously contemplating migrating over to Debian just to avoid...

Ennui, as of November 9th
I don’t really have a passion for anything these times. Days pass in a blur, punctuated by brief periods of fleeting happiness occurring only on the weekends. I write this on a calafia, feeling the cool wind move my hair across my closed eyes. When I open them everything has a bluish tint to it and hair strands untangle themselves from eyelashes. Yet I don’t feel depressed. It probably...

Sleep
No matter how many times I try, it is likely I will never be able to go to sleep before 00:00 if I’m running on eight hours of sleep.
On occasion I have been able to… usually after days (and nights) where I haven’t slept, if at all.
The proof is in this writing. Made it at 01:00.

So
This will be my place on the internet while I get something going for myself. Thing is… I’ll do my posting in English as I’m slowly losing my fight against thought processes in Spanish.
Need to put a stop to them.
