Plistic GNU/Linux Journal

As promised. I bought some Rum! Time for some "drunkin' computing" as I work on Plistic GNU/Linux again. I'm in the middle of the Linux From Scratch book (somewhere in chapter 6). When there are long compiles I will be writing in this journal. Stay tuned!

A side note: I started over in building LFS. I had some issues using Fedora. Maybe I didn't do something right in the process, but just to be safe I installed Debian 6.0.1a as my working environment. I know that Debian doesn't use SELinux, which could be trouble-some - possibly. Anyway, I'll keep you posted!

I just noticed. I'm starting to feel the Rum working! This is good news! I'm a little buzzed. I almost forgot how this feels. It is good.

I think when I get to building gcc I'm going to play a round of Starcraft II. I don't play it much; even though it was the excuse for replacing Linux with Windows on this machine. I think I'll do a one-on-one match instead of the campaign. I'll let you know how I do. Hmmm... do I be Terain, Protoss, or Zerg? I like the Protoss flying units, I like the Zerg for their Playboy-style reproductive-ness, and, well, the Terain are like people on Earth, so maybe I should be Zerg. I suck at the game no matter which race I choose, so it shouldn't really matter. Also, this computer is shit. So, that's part of my excuse for sucking so bad.

Okay, now I'm good an drunk. And... Guess what? I'm also at the GCC compile time. Time for dunkin' Starcraft II! In the next paragraph, I'll tell you how I did... I definitely am drunk. I just walked around a bit (and wobbled while I walked) so i know for sure that the Rum has done it's job! Well, my Starcraft II program is around 88% complete with it's update. And GCC is building as we speak (It's estimated build time is about 44 SBU's, which amount to -- A LONG ASS TIME!!!). So, as soon as Starcraft II is done updating, I'll be on my way to battling an unsuspecting foe.

Well, I didn't even find the enemy base by the time they killed me. That is totally sucky. And... it had nothing to do with my slow PC... My computer didn't experience any slowdowns (which is surprising). However, we were both Zerg, and he killed me by creating a small army of Mutalisks. All I had was a bunch of Zerglings and a couple of Hydralisks. I couldn't even find his base before I was destroyed! Drunk or not, I would have done the same. As I stated earlier... I suck at this game!

GCC is still compiling. I think I'm gonna go pee, then we'll see what I do next.

I just puked in the toilet. Time to stop drinking I think. I just poured myself a glass of straight Coca-Cola. The room was spinning for awhile, then I felt sick, so I vomited, now I feel a little bit better. I figure, I better sober-up before I go to sleep or I will be regretting it in the morning. Oh, and good news! GCC is done compiling, so it's time to continue on with building an LFS-system. BTW, I finished almost a half-a-bottlle of Rum. It's only 70-proof. I remember I used to be able to hold half-a-bottle of 151-proof Rum in the past (without puking). Must be because I'm out of practice. That's not a bad thing. I'm not much for drinking these days.

Well, it's the morning after now... I don't think I'll do that again. I'm not much for feeling sick and puking. Surprisingly, I don't have a hang-over. I feel fine now. I think for the rest of my Rum, I'll limit myself to one drink a night and only on the weekend. That bottle should last me the rest of the summer.

Next time I do a "drunkin' computing" night I think I'll do a "caffeinated beverage computing" thing instead. Drinking made me feel sleepy. That's an effect I don't remember happening before. As I said, it's been years since I drank more than one beer in a night. I don't usually buy any type of alcoholic beverage, and I think I'm going to keep it that way. "Drunkin' computing" is something I did about seven years ago. Maybe my body has changed so it rejects alcohol, I don't know. But, last night wasn't as fun as I remember it. Oh well. Live and learn I guess.
