Was just thinking how I really wanted to see Gattaca again, and so this wish list came to mind:
Here's my current collection:
- Run Lola Run
- Contact
- Signs
- Swingers
- Napoleon Dynamite
- Office Space
Yay, huh?
Here are some movies I'd like to pick up
- Gattaca
- The 13th Floor
- The Matrix Trilogy
- The Lord of the Rings Trilogy
- Love Stinks*
- Garden State
- Logan's Run (Stupid, but fun to watch)
* Movies I have not seen
No, Linuxwhore.com isn't gone. It's still right here, however I'm going by a new domain name: MuchTall. Among other reasons, I decided I needed a more unique name. As of this date, the only result that MuchTall gets on Google is some site that randomly happened to squish much and tall together in their search engine keywords. So it's pretty much a clean name without evidence of use anywhere else but here. Today would be it's Google christening.
I'm still keeping Linuxwhore.com, and I still contend that I was the first. I'm not really pleased that so many people decided to rip it off. It was a unique identity, and they pretty much ruined it. When people start squatting on addresses like linuxwhore@gmail.com, I get a little pissed.
Some days I just feel like doing this...

So I'm at work on a Saturday, trying to get a linux server up and running for network monitoring purposes. I think to myself "Hmm. Maybe I should Gentoo another try!" because I'm not really happy about being required to upgrade my Linux systems every 2-3 releases of Fedora. It would be nice to just install it once, then just keep it up to date as software comes out, at least for my servers. I vaguely remember trying to install Gentoo once before and getting frustated with putting 4 or more hours into getting a bootable system. I thought that maybe things had changed, so I downloaded the "Universal" image and set out to finally have a Gentoo system of my own.
2 hours later, I'm only halfway through the installation document, and I'm looking at this statement:
Manually configuring a kernel is often seen as the most difficult procedure a Linux user ever has to perform. Nothing is less true -- after configuring a couple of kernels you don't even remember that it was difficult ;)
I want to beat this guy's face in. I've tried re-compiling kernels in Redhat and Fedora, and I still dread it. I avoid it like the plague. It's not that I can't configure and compile a working kernel, it's jsut that any time I try, I always seem to miss something that it turns out I did actually need, and I have to do the whole thing all over again. These guys talk about configuring and recompiliing like it's their second most favorite pastime. Their first was watching paint dry.
Well that's enough time burning for me. I guess it's back to Fedora for me. I've got better things to do with my time: Ooh! Look at that blade of grass grow!
