WTFMYSPACE, and fun with USB memory sticks

3:16 pm — Geek, Whining

I just found a new reason to hate Myspace: A big “ARE YOU GAY? Take our quiz to find out!” ad at the bottom. Newsflash: I don’t need an intarweeb quiz to tell me if I’m gay or not. Hell, here you go:

Are you gay?

Yes
No
I’m bisexual, you insensitive clod!
Only for Cowboy Neal

There you go. If you don’t know which one you are, you probably still think girls (or guys?) are ucky.

I know Myspace probably isn’t the only place running the ad, but were it not for Myspace, I never would have seen it.

Anyway.

I bought a 1G USB stick at Fry’s (USD $12.99, when did these things get so F’n cheap?), and I’ve been experimenting with different things to put on it, mostly live distributions. Damn Small Linux and DSL-N are the least painful so far. Eventually, I’d like to reimplement my old system of having the encrypted filesystem on it with all my private keys (SSH, GPG, etcetera)…

Oorah Marine Corps [Reserves]

9:42 pm — Main, Whining, usmc

It ain’t easy being green.

All that time I spent active in the Corps — boot camp, MCT, and MOS school — and now I have to go back out into the civilian world and find a job, with hardly anyone biting on my resume. Not to mention most civilian barbers have never heard of a high and tight.

If anyone out there in San Diego or Orange counties needs a Linux guru, shoot me an email.
