  • I enjoy the light loose feeling of writing with pens like 1. The pressure needed for a roller means that you really need to mean it, which I feel hinders my “creativity” in writing… I just like to write some fucked up tall cursive, ok?

    I guess it’s just a matter of personality. I mean there are some good rollers out there. I know, I’ve got some. In uni, almost 20 years ago, we had to take hand written exams, and the school still needed three copies plus your own, so we had to punch through three sheets to get a carbon copy on the last sheet. After my first exam where trying to crank out 10 pages per hour gave me cramps, I went out and got some really nice rollers. The grip had a diameter like my index finger. Still 4 hours and 40 semi-neatly written pages of A4 would cause a considerable strain.






  • Why not just stick to what we’ve always been doing?

    1. wget something.tar.gz
    2. tar something.tar.gz
    3. man tar
    4. tar xzf something.tar.gz
    5. cd something
    6. ls -al
    7. ./config.sh
    8. chmod +x config.sh
    9. ./config.sh
    10. make config
    11. Try to figure out where to get some obscure dependency, with the right version number. Discover that the last depency was hosted on the dev’s website that the dev self-hosted when it went belly up 5 years ago. Finally find the lib on some weird site with a TLD you could have sworn wasn’t even in latin characters.
    12. make config
    13. make
    14. Go for coffee
    15. make install
    16. SU root
    17. make install
