if you look at my neck area you’ll see the new necklace I bought last week. The top used to belong to my friend Princess barbie, the skirt is from Ebay, and the boots were my mothers. They’re great for throwing at people.
Facebook causes mental problems.
Tell me something I don’t know.
Facebook and other social networking sites can actually send you mad, according to scientists in Israel.Researchers from Tel Aviv University have linked psychotic episodes in patients to internet addiction and delusions caused by virtual relationships cultivated on social networking sites.
Although all the participants had underlying problems of loneliness, none had any history of psychosis or drug abuse, the team say.
Hi, I’m still here.
So I had off on a Sunday for once in a loooong time, and the weather decided to crap out on me. Thunder and lightening. Joy.
I decided to finally give my dual mocap adventures a go and already ran into problems. One kinect displays everything fine, the other will only display half the data needed. Each kinect works fine when plugged in by itself, but the two will not cooperate with one another. So I’ll have to see if I have the same issue on my desktop. Can’t do it at the moment, currently under the Linux side downloading betas.
I played some of the Portal Beta. It runs fairly smooth, one problem with it so far is that the elevator gets stuck going to another test chamber. I think 4 or 5? I can’t remember. It’s nice to see my library under Linux getting larger. I may have to finally reinstall to another larger drive I’m not using. Maybe with Mint this time. 😀
Still updating TF2. It ran the conversion perfectly! Finished it in about 15 minutes time (faster than windoze) now I’m downloading the rest of an update. It was all quite out of date. I decided I didn’t need to do anything windows specific today so I might as well revisit Ubuntu. How I long for Valve to release SFM for Linux natively…
Summer nights.
It’s been so warm here that I haven’t had to wear a jacket to work Feels kinda weird. Speaking of work it was absolutely swamped today. I can tell summer is on the way. Hopefully this weather lasts when I next days off arrive.
Don’t mock me weather
Seems like the weather gets even better when I go back to work. It got into the mid 80’s today, didn’t even have to wear a jacket to work. The wind just picked up not too long ago, but it’ll probably warm up later on. Supposed to be nice for the rest of the week.
The nice evening weather had me on my laptop most of the time just to stay cool. Did some CS:GO on it, didn’t get any higher than 50 C. I really love that laptop.
Open Thread
Yesterday I had a hair appointment which turned out alright. Then I decided to go and enjoy the sun (though it was a bit chilly) and shop the local stores in the community. Bought some nice work shirts at a couple of thrift stores and a nice set of earrings and a necklace that I might have to take a picture of at some point. It’s a matching set of blue flowers.
Then went out for some nice prawns and hot sauce. It was a leisurely day, my favorite kind of day. In fact the last couple days I haven’t really done much. Oh well, have to have weekends like that from time to time. I was even contemplating working on some more projects but then figured “screw it” I don’t have the muse right now.
Sunday Bloody Sunday Open Thread
I didn’t have much time to write anything after work yesterday (tired, had company over, TF2, etc). I originally had off today but they needed me after all, and since they didn’t wait until the last minute guess what??? That gave me time to prepare!!! WHAT ARE THE FUCKING ODDS?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
But yeah, yesterday was prom night and all the last minute peoples came in buying fabulous shoes to wear. Plus we were short a person so getting anything done was not a possibility. Today is not nearly as bad, plus I have the next two days off which I’m looking forward to. w00t! Looks like the weather will be nice again for it. 😀 Hope I don’t jinx it…
It’s like I can read minds.
Another one of those days where they call me in at the last minute and I already knew the night before that it would happen. This time because the dumb bitch we nicknamed Hitler Lady (because she’s an anal retentive twatwaffle) decided that she wasn’t going to work today because of the sale we’re having. She fears that she won’t be able to put all of the bras away from it. So they wanted me to come in at 3pm today… I found the call at 3:30…
Told them I’m going in at 4:30. That’ll give me time to wake up and read a little before going in. Corporate America is all kinds of fucked up.
Fact: All dinosaurs are the size of sheep.
This is rated to be possibly true. The father will reveal what school this came from after his daughter graduates. But damn, dinosaurs the size of sheep? No wonder Jesus had no problems riding his pet TRex. O_o
Ow my stomach lining.
Think I ate too much spicy stuff yesterday. Been having to counter it with some water, baking soda and ginger lemon tea. Blurgh.
