Fedora 12 - a month later
Category: linux

Well its not just my server OS anymore. Its been one month and two days and I haven't gone back to os X yet. I am totally in love with linux desktop this time around and don't anticipate going back ever. It just seems so freakin fast, like I have a new laptop. Flash always used to be one of the big issues and they seemed to have fixed that mostly, although who knows, I bet flash starts to die soon anyways - but I thought that for years.

On monday my big project launches. It represents a lot of work but more than that an entirely different approach to managing data by distributing the authorship to the individuals it matters to most with very little constraints. I hope people are ready to take responsibility for their own data. Thanks you linux for making all of this possible. I would never be able to keep up with the computing demands of my job with any other platform.

I hate krab

Went to Saigon in the blvd, my favorite restaurant, and had crab
soup. There were so many real crab options including the asparagus
real crab soup I usually I get and somehow I ended up with fucking
krappy krab.

I really think that should have to state when the crab is krab.

I want this bike

It is on sale and I just might buy it unit I still there on the
weekend. It has the exact seat/tire combo I am looking for. Just not
sure about the handlebars. I am so bad with that kind.

metalpeter - 04/08/10 17:56
I know nothing about Bikes. I know that I like how that one looks, I also think it looks like elmwood. What I mean is it is a style that would fit in with the strip.

zobar - 04/07/10 22:49
Throw in a lion's-head bell on the handlebars and you've got a deal.

heidi - 04/07/10 21:48
They do custom work... i'm sure you can get the handlebars of your dreams also.

Dyngus day 2010
Category: holidays

We hit up the east side for dyngus day.

It was so crazy packed everywhere. There must have been 5,000+ people at the terminal but they were pouring each beer by opening the bottle and pouring it into a plastic cup and there were like 4 workers.

Why can't Italians have a drinking holiday for (e:mike) and I. Who's in for Columbus day 2011!

This jerk in the red sweater cut me in line. Her friends kept encouraging her to "be assertive." I just wanted to punch her but I figured I was an outsider and would get killed.

Aftewards, we headed over to some polish bar in the old polish hood
where they had tastier food. It was fun there.

metalpeter - 04/08/10 17:59
I have heard (can't confirm this) that people travel here to celebrate Dyngus Day. I also read again can't confirm this that Buffalo's is one of or maybe the biggest in the country. Hope everyone had a great time, oh yeah I have never done anything for the day.

jenks - 04/07/10 14:29
I didn't realize Dyngus Day is such a Buffalo thing. I wished Chris a happy dyngus day, since he is (part) Polish, and he had no clue what I was talking about. ha!

ladycroft - 04/07/10 06:52
That's right, all us Polish folks are well connected! If ya'll hate line cutting, don't EVER come to the Middle East, you'll explode.

metalpeter - 04/06/10 18:10
Glad you had a good time.

Now I'm going to sterotype a bit:
The reason their isn't an Italian Drinking holiday is that they don't drink like the Germen's, Irish, and Polls, they all drink beer and often lots of it. Have you ever seen the size of those Steins. Italians drink wine before during and after dinner then maybe with Desert. It is a different kind of drinking. It isn't I have had a long hard day lets get smashed. It isn't like the irish that have drinking and fighting songs and where a fight might be a common thing. It is more Of lets drink cause I love you, or what ever the emotional thing is. No you can't leave untill you eat thing.

I hate that cutting in line crap. That happened to Josh and I at Dyngus Day and believe me, they knew we were unhappy. Of course they were fucking Polish and connected somehow so nothing came of it. You're also right about the terminal and how awful it is to get a beer. Better off pre-gaming and hitting the vodka fountain. That was one of the worst hangovers I've ever had, definitely top 3. Glad you had a good time.
