どもごぶさたを、livejournal!
Throughout the last couple weeks, I've been studying up on Japanese culture (and language) and have compiled the most used words I didn't learn in class. My highly praised academic sources include lots of Eureka Seven, BLASSREITER, and Gundam:
了解だ 「りょうかい」 - "Roger!"
襲撃準備 「しゅうげきじゅんび」 - "Prepare to sortie!"
発進 「はっしん」 - "Launch"
爆発 「ばくはつ」 - "explosion"
作戦完了 「さくせんかんりょう」 - "Mission complete; mission accomplished"
狙い打つ 「ねらいうつ」 - to snipe
テメェェェ 「テメェェェ」 - "YOU BASTARD!!!!!"
テメェラァ 「テメェラァ」 - "YOU BASTARDS!!!!!"
中尉 「ちゅうい」 - "Lieutenant (JG) / 2nd Lieutenant"
少尉 「しょうい」 - "Lieutenant / 1st Lieutenant / Ensign"
中佐 「ちゅうさ」 - "Commander"
少佐 「しょうさ」 - "Major"
モビルスーツ 「モビルスーツ」 - "Mobile Suit"

So, I finally got my networking set up at home a couple months ago. There's a little web interface to add computers to the network, which automatically updates DHCP and DNS and allows them on wireless.
I also have an IPv6 tunnel and auto-configuration for my /48 (rDNS is annoyingly difficult, thanks to comcast).
( So, of course, this weekend I got to break it all... )

For my birthday I got an iPhone.
iPhones have GPS; iBike to work - somebody was bound to figure out that they could make an iPhone app that used the GPS as a cyclocomputer.
Sadly, this isn't a post about how I'm now fabulously wealthy because I made a cyclocomputer iPhone app. This is the post about how I figured out how to use the webcam in my computer and made a flickr account.
For those following along at home, GPS isn't terribly accurate. Aside from people plugging in E instead of W and running through their insurance agency's front window instead of to the store, civilian grade GPS really only has accuracy to about a block. The iPhone tries to improve on that by using the cell towers to make it even more accurate, and it mostly gets it right.
( But then there's my trip from tonight )

Some stuff I was hacking away on at work today; this is mostly a note to self:
The tl;dr version:
( commands and servers and things )
The tl;dr version:
- double-check commands you type when playing with disks
- triple-check commands you type when playing with disks
- see #1 and #2
- the way to "refresh" the list of iscsi targets on the initiator is `iscsiadm modify discovery -t enable` (yes, I already had it enabled; it works anyway)
- it's `zpool iostat [pool] [interval]`, not `zpool iostat [interval] [pool]`

So...I've been sleeping on the everyman schedule and just got up from my first nap of the day.
( my subconscious is weird )

Alright, so I've been doing a polyphasic sleep schedule for the last couple of days and I'm surprising not very tired. The yawning is starting to get irritating, though.
And then I found the schedule I should have been trying all along: the Batman Schedule!!!
Man...I'm gonna have to start all over again, just so I can get superpowers.

So...it's been a while since I've actually written anything on here, and I'm kinda bored...

Now, why couldn't they have changed Setsuna's character model so I know whether it's a flashback or it's real?
And why won't people just stay dead! Damn you, Bandai, for playing with my emotions like that!

also: "you can use any combination of ten-to-fourteen syllables" ? wth? of course you can use as many or as few as you want; it's a poetry style for a completely different language with a completely different way of counting "sounds"
So, I've been rolling into work on my bike for 2.5 weeks now and actually tracking me speed online. I just realized tonight when I went to add the latest adventure that I could figure out how many miles I've travelled total.
It's usually 5.32mi to work and back, but I took the long way in today to get around the bridge (7.33mi). All total I've biked in 9 times out of 10, so ....
17 trips @ 5.32mi + 1 trip @ 7.33mi = 97.77mi
I'm gonna hit 100mi sometime tomorrow on the way in! If I keep up the way I'm going, I could actually hit somewhere around 1000mi on my bike this year. That's a lot of pedalling. At the speed I go, that's also about a FF game worth of biking. Oh well, I guess going to work is better than sitting around for 70hrs playing FF. I think...

so...I started riding my bike to work when my bus pass ran out at the end of June. And then 2 weekends ago, I wrote a little web app thingy to track how long it takes me to get there and back (and other places, if I go there...which I really don't).
When I first rode in a couple times this spring, it took me about 40min to get in and out each day. It's definitely easier coming home (especially with the tailwind), so I've noticed that that's usually faster.
And then today, I managed to make it home in 21:16. This might not seem like a big milestone, since it's just a random time (20:00 would have been nice, and I probably could have done it if I'd timed the lights better downtown), but you see, it's 5.32 miles to work (and back).
5.32 miles / 0.3544 hours = 15.01 mph
Yay! I can average 15mph on the way home ^_^
Now, the real trick will be doing it again later this week.
*edit* ah, 狂 makes a helluva lot more sense than 今日 - stupid romaji lyrics sites

Time for me to catch up on all those things I've been putting off for school...like video games, and...okay, that's about it
逃ゲロゲロ makes me laugh...man, how did I ever play Chrono Trigger without all the silly Japanese puns?
although...the rats saying でチュー all the time are getting annoying.
I'm already up to 時の最期, and I've only been playing for like 8hrs! of course...in English that'd be like 2hrs worth ^^;;
