I totally fucked up my computer main machine with a command that killed my 2 side monitors and my task bar. Gave up, so went on my windows machine and played KSP. Then that machine randomly crapped out. Screen just went black right in middle of gaming. I was too pissed to do anything further, but it booted back to desktop. Nothing more infuriating than when a computer does stupid crap like that for no reason.

Debating on reinstalling now, might try another Linux distro. Really don't feel like going through a clean install though. Such a pain getting everything setup again.

I think I might have fixed my Linux machine. Everything seems ok now. What a freaking pain though. I don't even remember all the steps I took, was just screwing around trying stuff. Problem with Linux is there is too much duplicate work being done by the community, too many different desktop managers, too many different ways of doing the same thing within each desktop manager etc..... trying to google stuff is like pulling teeth.

Bed time nef. I did absolutely nothing today. Then again the day after night shifts is typically a write off anyway. :p 2 more days then I'm on day shifts.

I suspect a few guys have flown under (allowed) to fly under the radar in here these with alt accounts these days.

If it wasn't for stupid biased things being posted I really wouldn't worry about it a lot.

Time to eat a sausage.

I don't care if it even sounds bad, I'm not insecure that way after 3 wives :)
