Last month or so has seen me well productive! Have been writing and reading like a demon. A couple of days ago, I sent a fresh poem to my online chum @gabfran who keeps a terrific blog called Law and Shoes. Sure, I might be biased as to why I think it’s a good blog, [...]
Tagged blogs, Eat Drink Stagger, FoodStuffMelb, friends, Law and ShoesBy no stretch of the imagination am I a tech geek. Nu-uh. I think as far as arts geeks go, I tend to like getting my feet wet in some geekery, but not much. A few weeks ago, I got a Nokia N95 and didn’t really think much of it at the time. I mean, [...]
Tagged last.fm, Mobbler, mobile phone, music, Nokia N95, scrobblingI was chatting with @lluke very early this morning and he told me that “blogging is so 2005″. I realise blogging isn’t en vogue these days, but I harbour a fondness for it. Perhaps because it allows me to crap on ad infinitum. I mainly do it as a record I can read back on [...]

Not sure what happened, but it’s cool, right? I can print out stuff anywhere! *trots off to folks’ place* – cannot print out work at parents’. Computer too sluggish and takes forever to load…anything. I’ve no idea what the hell [...]
Tagged frustration, technologyI know a few tech geeks, so don’t be getting ideas about who gave this to me. Actually, am going to have to get said geek to explain it to me again. I forgot what it means. Plus, it seemed sort of…poetic? #!/bin/bash runtime=${1:-10m} oralsex& sleep $runtime #end
Tagged computer programming, humourI hate Linux. Or Ubuntu. Or both. I’m sort-of mad at tAlex & Rob for letting me believe I might be smart enough for it. Yes, I know it was my choice to install it…but at present I’m being angry, irrational and frustrated. I believe my exact words to FD about the Linux-Ubuntu matter was [...]
Tagged brunch, food, Guitar Hero, Linux, reading, Ubuntu, weddingSo…I’m back from my first ever MTUB gathering and I had a fantastic time! I can’t believe how friendly everyone was! I first arrived at the Fad Gallery in Chinatown, Melbourne and had no idea where my fellow Twitterers were supposed to be…so I asked at the bar. They looked thoroughly perplexed which is never [...]
Tagged Melbourne, microblogging, TwitterLet me count the ways… A transcript from a conversation between myself and FD. (9:18:09 PM) Gem: dude i’m too depressed for beer. what’s that about? (9:18:52 PM) Felicidade: You have good self-control – I’d be straight on the piss (9:19:02 PM) Gem: hahahaha usually i am! (9:19:13 PM) Gem: this last month i’ve drunk [...]
Tagged friends, IM, nerdsWell, I do for several reasons, but this is for a very specific reason, and I am sorely glad that Thoughtfix alerted me to this very important day… System Administration Appreciation Day http://www.sysadminday.com/ (sadly, this day has passed in Australia, but better late than never, eh?) You can also read Cory Doctorow’s story about sysadmins…ruling [...]
Tagged computers, Cory Doctorow, sysadmins, techMy blog proper, which I should declare dead, was hijacked! I was informed of this when a friend of mine said he did a Google search for my blog because he hadn’t yet saved it as a bookmark. I did a Google search and lo and behold, it said visiting this site might harm your [...]
Tagged site hijack, spamI’d like to know why strangers are following me on Twitter! I think it’s kind of nice, but I don’t fancy myself as being very interesting and yet people seem to be adding my Twitter feed to theirs to follow. As an exercise in positivity, I think it’s going remarkably well. I do read back [...]
I’m trying to listen to music on last.fm and not having much luck thanks to its update not downloading and installing properly. I can’t uninstall it, meaning I can’t reinstall it and it’s not scrobbling (saving a history/list of tracks I listen to) properly. Thoroughly pissed off. Sigh, I’ll just have to wait till I [...]
You will now notice that Grace Notes has its own favicon! What is a favicon? Check beloved Wikipedia for their entry. I owe this favicon and the one on Snarkattack proper to the work of a lovely lady who has her own blog, Singular Scene, which I have a link to. The now infamous Nerd [...]
Hopefully by the time this is readable, the problem I pray will be resolved thanks to the hands of some real tech people as opposed to hacks like myself. I attempted to upgrade my blog software. The last time I performed this, I was successful but it was still quite stressful. However, this time I [...]
