This is hillarious
Lots of dirty things
So I saw this “25 things I learned from Google Trends” and thought it was so dead boring that I’d do my own instead. Let’s see…

1. Ass to Mouth, which is growing in popularity, is most searched for in Tampa, FL.
2. Beastiality is by a wide margin most popular in Brisbane, Australia.
3. Child porn is extremely popular across Turkey, but is also searched for most often in Auckland, New Zealand.
4. Escorts are most sought out in Italy, the United Kingdom, France, Belgium, and Sweden, in that order. I suppose if I was in Sweden I might enjoy an escort.
5. If you’re searching for a sex slave, you’re probably doing it in Irvine, California.
6. If you’re simply seeking sex (of any sort), you’re most likely in Cairo, Egypt (followed by a series of cities in India).
7. Lesbian porn is most sought in Brisbane, Australia.
8. Donkey sex is most searched for in the amusingly titled Lahore, Pakistan, as well as a host of Indian cities… oh, and Denver, CO.
9. Blowjobs are searched for more in Chicago than anywhere else.
10. Viagara is desperately needed in Buffalo, NY, by a wide margin…
11. …but if you spell it Viagra, you’re probably from Brentford, UK.
12. If all you want is boner you’re from Minneapolis, MN, but the more polite erection seekers are from Melbourne, Australia.
13. Gay sex is most popular in Birmingham, UK.
14. But gay escorts are all the rage in Torino, Milan, and Rome, Italy.
15. Fisting is searched for most in Zurich, Switzerland.
16. Cow sex is searched for most in Chennai, Delhi, and New Delhi, India. It’s also quite popular in Atlanta, Georgia.
17. If you want hairy pussy you’re probably in Delhi, India, but if you want shaved pussy you’re likely in Brisbane, Australia.
18. If you’re looking for information on premature ejaculation, you’re likely in Perth, Australia.
19. Rim jobs are apparently enjoying a spike of popularity in the small town of Kitchener, Ontario.
20. If you’re looking for rape, you’re most likely in one of four Indian cities, followed by Philadephia, PA in fifth place.
21. If you’re looking for an ass fuck, you’re probably in Athens, Greece.
22. Facial cumshots are most sought in Montreal, France.
23. Punk porn would probably sell best in Seattle, WA.
24. Anal sex is most searched for in Miami, Florida, and Ankara, Turkey.

25. Oh, and if you’re searching for Google’s help on torture, you’re probably in Washington, DC.

So i moved to gentoo I’ve been a Slackware user, pretty much since I started using Linux about 6 years ago. While I like Slack and it’s philosophy, I just don’t have the time to maintain it.

I met up with gregf in #slackware on OFTC. He’s a gentoo guy. I was telling him about wanting to move away from slack and why. We discussed a few options, but ultimately decided on gentoo. I’m slowly but surely learning the gentoo way. It’s pretty nice having the system handle deps. I also like that it’s source based.

short and sweet.

I’ve been wondering how to do this, but haven’t had a chance to search out a way to do it. Happened upon it in the LinuxJournal news letter.

BRAIN TRUST

This submission comes from Shashi in India:

As a research astronomer I work mostly at the command line in one or
more xterm windows at a time. Most of the time, data reduction jobs
are handled by writing simple one-line shell commands or
concatenations of various commands using pipes. Depending upon the
type of data being handled, mostly ascii catalogs, the commands can be
quite complex but still too simple to write full blown shell scripts.
To keep track of which sequence of commands were issued to arrive at a
given result I have included the following lines in my .bash_profile
to make per session:
HISTFILE=$HOME/.bash_history/bh_`echo $HOSTNAME | awk -F . ‘{print $1}’`.`date
+%d%b%Y.%I_%M%p`.pts`tty | awk -F / ‘{print $4}’`.log
HISTCONTROL=ignoreboth
HISTIGNORE=”f:df:w:dmesg”
HISTSIZE=2000
export HISTCONTROL HISTSIZE HISTFILE HISTIGNORE

My home directory is NFS mounted on various nodes of a cluster of
workstations, each with their own storage and processing capabilities.
At any given time I have quite a few xterm windows running on various
hosts running different data reduction and analysis routines. bash
uses the HISTFILE environment variable to save the session history. So
I came up with a solution that dynamically sets the HISTFILE
environment variable when bash is executed. The back-quoted commands
are executed first and their results concatenated to the environment
variable. For example, on the node “arches” a bash shell executed at
10:06pm on 19th of April, 2007 with an associated tty file of pts0
results in the following being used as the history file:
/home/shashi/.bash_history/bh_arches.19Apr2007.10_06PM.pts0.log

The HISTCONTROL environment variable is set to ‘ignoreboth’ which
means that consecutive duplicate command lines or command lines
beginning with a space character would not be saved. HISTIGNORE is set
to a colon separated list of commands that are not to be saved in the
history file. HISTSIZE is set to 2000 commands (default value is 500).

Locating the sequence of commands resulting in a particular output
file is then a simple matter of running grep on the history files for
the relevant filename. The grep can be speeded up by pruning the
.bash_history directory once in a while to remove irrelevant or
trivial history lists.

I just picked one of these up. Pretty nice so far I guess. I got it mainly to run OpenWRT (Be sure to check out X-Wrt as well)

I ran into a bit of trouble. For some reason OpenWRT doesn’t want to grab a DHCP address from my DSL modem, I’m sure it’s PEBKAC but kinda sucks it would require any user intervention. The X-Wrt addon really polishs the web interface. OpenWRT is more for the geek crowd in that it’s made to hack everything via the CLI. I’m fine with the command line, but it requires more knowledge than I currently have. I’m by no means an elitist and like the easy GUI that has hints and tips/tricks. X-Wrt has a graph section that can show so cool stats, but alas firefox 2 thinks it can’t read them and prompts me to search for a plugin. owell. Hopefully I’ll get that sorted soon too.
There is built in stuff for QoS and asterix.

I suppose that’s all for now

I would like to learn Japanese. I have a zillion other things I have to do currently, but maybe if I can dedicate a bit of time here and there I can get to the level of a 3 year old

I’ve found japanese-online which looks promising. It is pretty much exactly what I was looking for. It’s free, has the written language, and wav files of the converstation, so you can here it as well.

I really like japanese cinema (ok ok “kung fu” movies ;)) and love anime. I would like to be able to watch stuff like this in japanese instead of reading the transaltor interpretation I must say I like fansubs of anime better than “pro subs” or even english dubs. It seems alot of the time it is dumbed down for americans. (Especially with english dubs) So when I get to a computer with sound. I’m going to give it a try.

We’ll it’s a good thing thing no one but the spam bots read my blog so far

I have 2 new jobs at the moment.

The first is a Java Dev programming position. Only part time, and not a for sure life time endevour. Even though it is Java, the position is enjoyable. I have found out one thing, my coding skills suck. I got an A in both Java classes I took in college, and yet I feel like I just looked at the language for the first time sometimes when I sit down at my laptop. Luckily I have a mentor/senior coder/guru (what ever you want to call him) named Kevin. He’s very understanding, and knows his stuff. It’s nice because if I have any questions, doing something stupid, or going about things the wrong way, he’s there to help, and point me in the right direction. To be perfectly honest, I’m surprised he’s kept me around as long as he has. (Thanks man :))

My second position is a Junior System Administrator with a large webhosting company. I’ve wanted to be a sysadmin for about 5 years now. I like it a lot. I’m totally remote, so I don’t get to play with the hardware, be it shiny and new, or old and dusty. They have some tools (scripts and what not) set up to make things easier to do, while other things can be a pain in the butt. I’ve been there a couple months now, and while I’m still a JSAI I have gotten promotions. I’ve learned quite a bit, and there are some very knowledgeable people I get to work with. I hope to get promoted again soon so I can make a little more scratch.

I don’t know what else to say, so I’ll leave it at that. I hope to be able to write more often, and maybe longer posts sometime soon.

Till the next post (will be soon, I got some shiny new hardware for a new box )I bid you ado.

Was a fun read.

Well I decided to post about making text larger on a web page. Why is it such a pain with most sites out there. I have a 20.1″ LCD. I like to have larger than 8 pt text to read. So I make the text larger with ctrl +. the text gets larger, but is confined to a 3″ wide column. So if I want larger text, I get 3 words per line. WTF :/ So I have a 3″ wide center column, with 3 words per line, and 3″ wide columns on either side with ads and links to other “stuff” and the 7″ of space is empty. This, to say the least, sucks.

I think this has to do with CSS (or maybe poorly implemented CSS) I’m pretty sure I have seen CSS designs that allow you to use all of you screen real estate for browsing. I need to find a firefox plugin to “fix” this. I think grease monkey has the ability to fix this as well.

I just installed the DeepestSender extension for firefox. http://deepestsender.mozdev.org/ It seems alright so far. I had to go to the site and have a look at the help to figure out how to get it to work with wordpress though. (It’s desigend to work with livejournal. I haven’t gone through all it;s features yet. It seems that it has the ability to include the current song your listening to in the post you make from it. I haven’t set that up yet, and I’m not currently listening to a song anyway, so…

The consumers have spoken, but will the RIAA listen? I doubt it.
