New Year, continued

I got robbed. Couple of hobos got me from the back when crossing a bridge. I’d always looked at them with sorrow but now… now I look at them with distrust.

Kill ‘em all, I say. Kill ‘em all.

I’m also thinking Tijuana is kicking me out, with assaults on multiple fronts; I’m going for strategic retreat to fight on a new front.

Incoming reality disfunction.

New Year

Incredibly, I spent it amongst other people at La Mezcalera instead of alone at basecamp. I wanted to be somewhere else, either at a big hotel or in another city. Sadly I couldn’t spare the resources for either party.

I guess I enjoyed myself a bit. A couple of beers, a mezcal. Someone got out a laptop for the countdown and that was that.

New Year's at La Mezcalera

A perfect stranger wished me a good year too! That got a smile out of me. A real smile at that, the sort that goes up to your eyes. Not the crooked one I use to humor people.

Went for tacos after that, then went home and watched a movie. The best part? Not tired at all and ready for the weekend.

An otherwise excellent weekend marred by my own actions; rather a lack of them.

I apologize.

Dear crackers from Iran:

This is not how you earn the favor of the people outside your country. As far as most are concerned, you can now rot under your Islamic government’s heel.

If it was someone aligned with government interests: Fuck you.

#twittposada #twittbc kicked ass, even though many people didn’t get there in the end.

Perhaps next year…

Debian

Lenny is good. Rock solid, just like the name ‘Stable’ promises.

But it wasn’t enough. So I updated to Squeeze.

That wasn’t enough. Went up to Sid. These guides helped.

So now I’m running the latest and would-be-greatest. Going to run a server with it.

Yes, I’m insane.

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 afterthought.

Should you need to install it onto a Debian/Ubuntu system, be prepared to devote 48+ hours to getting it up and running properly, specially if you install PHP applications using APT.
