Twitter, you are dead to me again.  When I first signed up you had an AIM that I could send my updates too.  I didn’t have to use a stupid client for it.  I didn’t have to use a widget in my dash board.  I disabled dashboard because it’s pretty damn useless for me.  Just another layer eating up resources that I don’t really see the point of having.

So I go back to you and notice that you have a jabber IM to send updates to.  Sweet, I’m always logged into GTalk so I can start updating again!  Then I find a plugin for wordpress to send updates to you.  Even add a little application on Facebook to put my twitter updates on it.  Why not get back into micro blogging again?

Of course you lose your IM again.  It’s been weeks and I haven’t gotten any updates because I don’t open you up in my web browser.  I’m busy enough with work and the few sites that I do need up in there to have another tab wasting away space and time.  Why not just work through the weekend and fix your instant messaging?  We fix bugs at our office constantly, major ones at that.  We’re a tiny company compared to you.  Though I do understand that you’re a start up just like us.

So please get your instant messaging working again.  Or you’ll just have to wait until I get a better phone to start getting any real updates from me.

For some reason my iPod Touch wouldn’t sync to my iMac.  Frustrated the hell out of me.  The thing works just fine.  Just never showed up in iTunes.  I figured it couldn’t be anything all that crazy.  Just a setting in a plist.  So off to google I went.

Didn’t really find much help.  So I reinstalled iTunes and suddenly for the first time in three weeks my iPod synced.  Guess one of the iTunes updates borked something.

Well it’s been a good many years.  Like a billion since I was really forced to do anywork on a Red Hat box.  Or any thing that came from it, like CentOS, or Fedora.  Holy fucking hell.  Are you people fucking stupid or some shit?

Yum?  I mean come on.  It’s some of the worst fucking package management I have ever had the displeasure of using.  Let’s do a default install.  Oh what the fucking shit?  There’s no god damn mother fucking GCC or kernel headers?  Holy hell that blows my fucking mind.  How can you have linux and not have these basics?  Want us to use RPMs for our kernels?  Fuck you I’m not loading in shit I don’t need.

Let’s not even get to the crappy way libraries are handled.  I have to have two different versions of openssl installed just to keep these two machines happy.  One for everything else in the world (because I can’t do an emerge -b world to rebuild packages) when I update openssl, the other is because your god damn distribution is fucking stupid.

I’m glad I kept with slackware for all those years.  Your way of doing things is the mongoloid of linux distributions.  I’m glad I went to gentoo after slack, because well portage is the shit.

At work I use a monitor.  For the longest time I just used a 19" turned on it’s side to get a longer perspective.  This was fine to keep off to the left for using vi or just monitoring stuff.  Well today I get back from my work trip out east and I have a brand new unclaimed 22" wide screen monitor.  You better believe I’m gonna use this puppy.  Then I realized I wanted to make this my primary monitor and not use the macbook pro’s screen like I have been doing for about two years now.

Well after a bit of clicking around I finally figured it out.  Not that it was hard, but I figured someone could use the help.  When you’re in your monitor settings under arrangement.  Just click the white "title" bar and drag it over to the screen you want to use as your primary.  Man, that made me rather happy.
