…for talking about G5s. And the best part is, this guy was talking about Microsoft buying a bunch of them. Nice.
I can’t even comprehend this. I mean, we all know Microsoft makes Macintosh software - why the fuck are they so concerned about an employee talking about them buying some? I saw one comment on Hanscom’s site talking about how an NDA would cover this. Fuck that! Nothing proprietary whatsoever is exposed with the photo.
Lock up the schoolgirls and hide the tentacle porn, ’cause I’m here. The apartment I’ve got (in Shinjuku) is pretty cool, but very very small.
So yeah, I arrived in one piece. Had to sit next to a fucking evangelical missionary that rambled on and on about God in English to a Portugese dude - who didn’t speak English. It was pretty painful. Got through a few books though which did rock.
Now it’s the A.M. and I’m getting ready for work, but I’ll post more when I get a chance.
So I’m off to Japan tomorrow morning, and I’ve realized that trying to anticipate what I need for a two month stretch is nearly impossible. And what’s worse is cleaning up my place to a state that I’d actually be able to come home to in January.
Although I have to pass on this bit of advice from my coworker Rob - for dirty dishes, he actually suggested just putting them all in the freezer. Because of course they won’t stink. Don’t worry though, I’m not that much of a bachelor.
On a side note, we’ve now got a Japanese version of my company website. That makes me feel cool.
I just realized something - at least two of the Japanese cell phone carriers (DoCoMo and J-Phone) sell e-mail addresses for spam. And what’s worse, they sell not the mobile phone’s addresses but the all people who e-mail the phones. J-Phone is the worst offender of the two, and I haven’t tried out AU (but I doubt they’re any worse).
You can actually verify this by sending an e-mail to a J-Phone device from a pristine account. About a day or two later you’ll start getting nice amounts of spam - and the spam is even in Japanese. Ugh.
If you get this message on Solaris 8 (and maybe 9) when trying to use SSHD then you should install patch 112438. This is as much of a note to myself as for others.
It seems that the Solaris kernel (with recent updates) needs this patch to enable the random number generator. When you install it the system will tell you that you have to reboot, but ignore that. It’ll work right away.
Also, you can refer to the official OpenSSL FAQ answer for this topic.
I’m heading out on Tuesday (not Friday as I originally had thought). I’m going to come back on December 19th, and then probably head up north for the Christmas break.
Because there’s new release versions of Mozilla, Firebird and Thunderbird. There’s also some torrents for it.
This movie rocked my world, I loved the shit out of it. It’s so overblown with every cliche and cheesy thing you can imagine, yet somehow it pulls together into an awesome package. Limbs being hacked off, ultraviolence, blood gushing out in literal fountains, Uma in a yellow banana suit, Lucy Liu with a decent explanation as to why she’s surrounded by Japanese people, awesome swords, wicked surreal swordfights, Kuriyama playing the exact same role as a crazy schoolgirl from Battle Royale, tons of Tarantino-isms that you’ll half love and half hate, freaky anime that fits right in, and on and on. Really, I could write forever about this thing and I’ll probably end up seeing it again.
So go see it. And man it’s refreshing to finally pay for a movie at the theater that I enjoy.
