In case you doubt the pending robot takeover ...

Between Skynet, Replicators and this thing, we are doomed.

Hit by the fire truck on the way down

I hate to admit it, but I laughed for five minutes after watching this.

Givem hell Ted!!

Ted Nugant has something to say. Lets all listen.

Sample Code Library

This is a sample of connecting a library class and an application.


####################
printMe.c
####################
/* Application File */
#include "libPrintMe.h"

int main (void) {
  char *myMainString;
  kellyClass testClass;
  myMainString = "world";
  testClass.printMe(myMainString);
};

####################
build.sh
####################
#!/bin/bash
# build file

echo "build libPrintme.a"
g++ -c libPrintMe.cc -o libPrintMe.a

echo "build printMe"
g++ printMe.c -o printMe -I. libPrintMe.a

####################
libPrintMe.cc
####################
/* Library File */
#include <stdio.h>
#include "libPrintMe.h"

void kellyClass::printMe (char *myString) {
  printf("hello %s\n", myString);
};

####################
libPrintMe.h
####################
/* Public Header File */

class kellyClass {
  public:
  void printMe (char *myString);
};

I wrote this code with some help from Jake to figure out just what part of the library code and library had to be duplicated in order to link them. This is cool because you can write a library, compile it and only give people the public .h file to compile against. This is really rudimentary stuff. I had never done it.

Home Last Night

I got home last night about ten minutes after seven.  I turned around and weed whacked the front and back yard. At one point I ran out of cord and spent ten minutes re-cording the weed whacker. I got back to the place I left off and the engine ran for another three seconds. I was out of gas. I close the garage door to keep someone from robbing me blind while I'm in the back yard. I do not know where the other garage door opener is, so I have to get through the locked front door and go to the garage to open the garage door every time. It is annoying, but these are the times we live in. It was strenuous because I had just walked home and was in a hurry because I was loosing light.

I got done after eight, but I can't tell you wen. Nat had dinner ready. She left for her friend's house to help out some more. There was a death in a friend's family. It was nice having some time to sit and watch some TV with her, even if I was pretty much out of it the whole time. Never even switched on the computer.

I kept having  bad dreams. Didn't sleep worth a flip. Tossed and turned. I'm not sure what the dreams were about. Something tells me they were related to a comedy routine I saw recently.

Natalie is going above and beyond for these friend's of ours. I'm not going to get in to details (yet), but she has really show an honorable side this last week or so. I'm proud of her. I feel left out and abandon because she isn't there. Turn about is fair though. I spend so much time on the computer that Nat feels left out and abandon when I'm in the same room. ... Had it coming.

Elle has been shipped around between Bill and my parents. This is one time I really wish I could drive. I feel highly inadequate because I cannot drop her off in the morning or pick her up at night. I miss Elle big time. Nat does too.

Sociology is Educated Bigotry

I was thinking about Sociology this morning. Sociology is like Psychology except for groups of people. You identify a group and observe them. You then make predictions of their behavior based on these observations. That idea sounded funny for a minute. Then I thought "That's bigotry". Label a group. Make generalizations based on observations about that group. That is bigotry.

Sociology is educated bigotry.

Well, kinda.

More Election Crap

There was an interview with McCain on one of the podcasts I listen to. he sounded like the guy the Republican party put up to loose. He sounded mousy. He was all about denying the battle between the democrats made any difference for him.  It would take a an act of God for him to win the presidency in my book. I just don't plan on it.

The Democrats have been at each other's throats. People know they are voting for the next president in this race for the Democratic party's nomination. People keep saying they believe the Republicans have a chance. It is not in their eyes. The Democrats smell blood.

The super delegates do not have to stand by their constituents opinion, nor do they have to listen to the popular vote. I say, if they are not willing to ever over tern the popular vote, why have them at all? The process questions are getting in the way of real issues. My wallet, my friends in the war, my country circling the drain, my culture burning to ashes before me. These are the things that occupy my mind. Please allow me to be blunt, I don't give a rat's tits about what is between the next president's legs, or what color it is.

Very Local News

  • News that pisses me off.
    • I am so tired of hearing about people having a hard time in Africa. It sucks. People in the U. S. have a rough time of it. No one seems to care. I'm just plane tired of hearing  about Zimbabwe. God bless them. Get on with the news.
      They keep talking about bad water and rape. I'm just tired of it. I am worried about making the house payment. I'm worried about Elle's education. I'm worried about food and gas and medicine. Things are rough all over. Well, except for the rich liberal chick doing the complaining on the podcast I just listened to. She sounds like Daddy's little princess who has never missed a meal or a cellphone payment in her life.
    • Hillery said something about obliterating Iran if they attack Israel. First intelligent thing I've herd her say. All the liberals are up in arms that she should be impeached ... or something like that.
    • FGM - Female Genital Mutilation.  I've heard it called female circumcision. I"m against Mail Genital Mutilation. I would have liked to have been asked before I was circumcised. Shit happens. You know managers have gotten hold of a topic when it is acronymized.  Let us please just suck all the humanity out of the issue by boiling it down to an acronym.
      It went from soldier's heart to Shell Shock to post  traumatic stress disorder to PTSD. Now it is just another spoon full of alphabet soup fed to us daily.
  • Bands/artists I just heard of.
    • Medeski Martin and Wood
    • Medeski Scofield Martin and Wood
    • John Scofield
  • Adam came by this morning and said "You know you are not going to be able to read that dim  monitor because the lights are on in the room we play DnD in, right?"
  • You are 3 to 20 times more likely to die in a car wreck on the way to buy a lottery ticket than you are to win the lottery. That is true every time you get in a car by the way. (Dr Karl)
  • Roy G. Biv ; red orange yellow blue indigo violet. The colors of the rainbow.
  • For the last three years, the Dow has been pretty stagnant. The dollar has dropped significantly. That means the Dow has dropped in value without dropping in dollar amount.  It is a way to keep the sheep inverters suckling at the stock market tit without letting them know they are starving to death. The stock market is a goddamn pyramid scheme. Over the last three years I would have done better investing in the gap between my mattresses.
  • Many antidepressants lower libido or sexual desire and performance. I wonder if that is why they take away the depression in the first place. People on antidepressants either think of themselves as normal on the drugs or say they don't know who they are if they get off the drugs.

DnD

I can't find my books. I found my old Player's Handbook. Every one uses 3.5 now and my books have disappeared along with my dice. They were in a satchel that I got at my old job. I kept it between the dressers. It has run off.

I still need to level my character. Crap.

EXCERPTS FROM A CAT'S DIARY

DAY 752 - My captors continue to taunt me with bizarre little dangling objects. They dine lavishly on fresh meat, while I am forced to eat dry cereal. The only thing that keeps me going is the hope of escape, and the mild satisfaction I get from ruining the occasional piece of furniture. Tomorrow I may eat another houseplant.

DAY 761 - Today my attempt to kill my captors by weaving around their feet while they were walking almost succeeded, must try this at the top of the stairs. In an attempt to disgust and repulse these vile oppressors, I once again induced myself to vomit on their favorite chair ... must try this on their bed.

DAY 765 - Decapitated a mouse and brought them the headless body, in attempt to make them aware of what I am capable of, and to try to strike fear into their hearts. They only cooed and condescended about what a good little cat I was...Hmmm. Not working according to plan.

DAY 768 - I am finally aware of how sadistic they are. For no good reason I was chosen for the water torture. This time however it included a burning foamy chemical called "shampoo." What sick minds could invent such a liquid. My only consolation is the piece of thumb still stuck between my teeth.

DAY 771 - There was some sort of gathering of their accomplices. I was placed in solitary throughout the event. However, I could hear the noise and smell the foul odor of the glass tubes they call "beer". More importantly I overheard that my confinement was due to MY power of "allergies." Must learn what this is and how to use it to my advantage.

DAY 774 - I am convinced the other captives are flunkies and maybe snitches. The dog is routinely released and seems more than happy to return. He is obviously a half-wit. The bird on the other hand has got to be an informant, and speaks with them regularly. I am certain he reports my every move. Due to his current placement in the metal room his safety is assured. But I can wait, it is only a matter of time...

Lifted from here


I've read this before. It is an oldy, but a goody.

Nat got this in an email. I posted it from the net. The one she got and this one are slightly different. Just shows how people embellish this sort of thing. I just plane reposted it.

How many times!!!?


http://view.break.com/493085 - Watch more free videos

How many times have I wanted to pull this with some women asking me for a favor. A buddy of min had a girl ask him for a ride so the could have sex with some guy who didn't have a car she had just met. I remember him opening the dorm door and screaming "FUCK YOU!!! NEVER TALK TO ME AGAIN YOU USING BITCH!!!" Something like that. I loved it. I fell off the bed/couch laughing. I think there may have been a high-five involved.

Laptop

I have no idea what the laptop specs are that I'm using. It is ancient. After installing Xubuntu and open office I have just under a gig of free space on the drive. It has 200 meg and change memory, 200 GHz processor. I have no idea what else. Oh, one USB 1.0 port where I' will have to put my character and other data files while using the laptop. Things are coming together. I'll be prepared for next Friday.

Last night a screen popped up that said new updates were  available. It turns out Ubuntu 8.04 is out. The system updated itself. I left it running and went to bed. When I got up, the download and install was done. The clean up was running. The system wanted to remove something. I clicked 'continue', rebooted. The laptop did not come up the first boot. It came up the second. It still seems to be working. The sound still does not work. The drive has no free space. Can't view YouTube videos. No online radio. No storing data on the drive. No wireless. Oh, well. Still better than nothing.

I will not have the books on the computer. The laptop is not really strong enough to put adobe reader. I'll have to have some other pdf viewer. One of the ones that suck. That will at least get me down the road. Now, I just have to find my books and dice.
