I think I met DEZ at one of my trans’ friends house parties.

CTuttle, I’m not currently working with vets…though my psych training was VA based the first couple ‘o years, ad I really enjoyed working with vets.
I’ve been trying to figure out if the SF VA wants “outside” shrinks on a contract basis (playing with civil disobedience would not a happy Fed employer make), but I haven’t been able to reach anyone who knew where to point me for an answer…
With the VA having such a backlog in basic diagnosis, I’d love to be able to help out one day a week or so with diagnostic screening…my fellowship was in trauma psych, and I’d like to be able to help out…..
Appreciate it. Today’s been a whole load of “low level annoying”. Our microwave picked today to give up the ghost. It’s incredibly old, and we knew it was on borrowed time, but still, we could have done without that.
At least work is going a little better. Leaving me too mentally tired to blog much of the time, but at least I feel more on top of things while I’m there.
Kirk
I Know the former head Chaplin at the Palo Alto hospital and I will see If I can get in touch with him. He has retired and has moved to New Hampshire to run a B&B and a sort of halfway house for VETs and is very committed to their cause. Reach me through facebook so we can swap emails.
Oh by the way I truly respect any one who works for the causes of our veterans…
Thanks for this, ES. One of my favorite memories was hanging out with the Ramones one bleak winter night in Pocatello, Idaho, in 1981. It was their second trip to the state; their first (in 1979) was memorialized in “Danny Says,” and a friend of mine witnessed it. It was at the Skyway Tavern in Idaho Falls where it was indeed 20 fucking below and the crowd was even worse, completely froze them out (they were more accustomed to standard buttrock). I met them two years later in Poky where they played at the ISU student union before about 75 people. My eardrums still hurt. And because I was writing about them, I got to go backstage and hang out. They seemed happy to have someone to talk with (their dope was outrageously good, of course), except Joey, who didn’t wanna talk to anyone. I think, if I gather the details from End of the Century correctly, that the KKK had just taken his baby away.
Tiger here, and only a test install of 10.5.
Still hating Leopard. Cosmetic junk IMO, and I’m breathlessly awaiting 10.6.
You recall that the Boot Camp beta expired, so 10.4 is out.
I’d give anything if Apple would issue a cosmetically-stripped OS release. The heft in the last 2 versions is weighing down performance and forcing a lot of folks to dump their machines. Or wait forever to do stuff.
Less pretty, less shitty.
lol :) yeah not the same thing as a nice lite install.
I have to say that is one thing I really like about the debian install system. You can easily get a usable install on a one meg usb stick or go for full blown bloat.
You can make Fedora work in 2GB, as long as you don’t want to store much data. They still tie too much stuff together with the administration software, though.
I’m not against a little bloat for a public release. But I care less about transparent Menu bars and pull-out Dock items on trays. A lot of wasted processor time to make kids tell their parents that they want a Mac ’cause its eye-candy.
Yeah, I’m with ya on that even tho i’ve always been a sucker for the eye candy. Compiz is awesome visually and in terms of usablilty and the graphics card does all the work there.
how true how true.. I knew the asshole who brought jobs to the smalltalk lab at PARC and the rest is history…. Xerox toner heads in rottenchester screwed the pooch on that whole thing… dam I would be rich if they hadn’t :>(
But China’s stock market bubble has burst, leaving 150 million share investors waking up to their worst hangover ever. The combined effect of a vertigo-inducing rise in inflation, new regulations and a slowdown in the US economy has brought share prices down as quickly as they went up. Indeed, after further falls this week, Chinese shares are worth just half what they were last October, when the market peaked
I suspect that even the 3D stuff is relatively light on the CPU if you have an accelerated video chip. I’ve noticed a trend lately to do some 2D stuff in OpenGL just to get the accel performance. Not sure if that’s sensible, mind you, but folks seem to like the idea.
Didn’t realize there was a topic. Thanks for this, though. This is bad news. If our economy goes in the tank but others stay strong, it should mean we can get better more quickly. That doesn’t appear to be the case with China, at least.
Excellent. I’m looking to try the WUBI version, which runs as an application under XP. Actually, I’m conning some of our sys admins into trying it first — they do in minutes what takes me days.
They have an environment where they can do that. You’d think they’d be there by now. Linux and the BSDs can make pretty good use of the hardware when the manufacturers share the specs. That’s not happening as much as it should, though.
That has it 54.3% Clinton to 45.7% Obama which is an 8.6% differential. There were a few left over precincts left in Philly and Chester County, but probably won’t change things very much. The link will give you county by county results, if that’s what you’re interested ib Citizen Norske!

It was like being in a relationship with someone really needy. I’m happy to move on. :)
the zed is dead
Just wanted to keep you on your toes. *g
I tried to comment on it awhile back… They pulled it as I tried to submit it…!
They sure help wash away the Russert’s and Tweeties..
“It was like being in a relationship with someone really needy. I’m happy to move on. :)”
that’s how I feel about the zed…

good one, RZ - congrats on your liberation!
good night, tejanarusa - sleep well
Thanks Kirk I hate loosing old friends… have you met DEZ yet? He has started to show up at the biginning of some threads..
Nice try tho, Doc! Do you deal with any Vets in your line of work?
a sadly outmoded and discredited notion
My nominee for today’s least self-aware title:
(someone at HuPo was asleep at the switch)
lol, but is the scream in horror or elation?
I can only imagne The Scream.
I admit, it made me laugh.
dang, hit submit instead of link.
The Scream.
Didn’t The Clash do a version of Blitzkrieg Bop too?
yup
Regardless, Hillary still failed today.
Telnaes has a new video…
I think I met DEZ at one of my trans’ friends house parties.

In other news, the collie has tummy trouble, and I just had to do some “cleanup work” on his furry hindquarters before going to bed. :p
ES, thanks for yet another great tune - and glad you shared the laugh….
Off to bed myself.
Sleep well, pups….
g’ nite Kirk..)
PS: Renee - what a bummer…. :(
You should take a gander at my latest post… Click on my name!
Toles has an appropriate toon on the Dem fiasco!
Aloha, Doc!
Speaking of the Ramones…
Richie Ramones Loses Digital Lawsuit
And in umbuntuland Hardy Heron is set to fly in 24hrs.
Heck, I just dloaded the prior release 4 nights ago.
Oh well, another few hundred megabytes never killed anybody.
Bummer.
Appreciate it. Today’s been a whole load of “low level annoying”. Our microwave picked today to give up the ghost. It’s incredibly old, and we knew it was on borrowed time, but still, we could have done without that.

did you dl the alpha or the rc?
either way you can just update via update-manager
g’ nite Renee
I knew I liked you.
Before I even knew who they were, when I heard this tune I knew I had a theme song;

The 8.04 server beta.
I didn’t install, but was going to next week. I’ll just scrap it wait for tomorrow.

Blast from the past. *whew*
Poor David :(
ah, cool. i haven’t tried their server edition but am intrigued by their studio edition.
I totally love compiz and will never use a pager again.
The demo you put up the other night was sweet.
I need to clear off a drive, though.
Does bootcamp play nice with linux?
Great story, David! One of the few bands of that era I never caught live.
I was planting trees and camping out as a migrant worker in the deep backwoods winter snow of Virginia and North Carolina in winter ‘81.
Tiger here, and only a test install of 10.5.
Still hating Leopard. Cosmetic junk IMO, and I’m breathlessly awaiting 10.6.
You recall that the Boot Camp beta expired, so 10.4 is out.
Dang, raining like a cow pissin’ on a flat rock around here.
La Nina sucks!
I’m headed fer the fart sack. Gnight.
Hi guys. Don’t have YouTube yet, but I have the Ramones digitized.
Goodnight, Bustednuckles.
You’re right - this is a wierd Spring. I’ve seen snow flurries at least four times this month.
LOL!
Always a breath of fresh air, Busted. Glad you stopped in!
I quit following mac stuff on the run up to leopard.
lol, g’night!
I’d give anything if Apple would issue a cosmetically-stripped OS release. The heft in the last 2 versions is weighing down performance and forcing a lot of folks to dump their machines. Or wait forever to do stuff.
Less pretty, less shitty.
Two gigabyte memory sticks are $20 or so. They’re probably a better place to store music and videos now.
Here ya go :D
Been slowly cleaning up space to build it.
Liked your piece on Condi yesterday.
And tw3k - :P
So Apple’s desktop is entirely their own, eh? For some reason, I thought it was built on top of GNOME.
Can you build a useful system out of that stuff, or is there still something missing?
lol :) yeah not the same thing as a nice lite install.

Yup, the Mac GUI is proprietary. OSX uses all sorts OpenSource projects tho.
Maybe your thinking of Safari that was a fork of KHTML from KDE.
Which stuff, tho? Darwin?
Eureka, hi! Just got back to reality here. Did Hillary win in Penn? I’ll go check the news if you all are bored with this.
nope they stole it all from Xerox /S
Nevermind. 55/45 I see at CNN.
Everybody stole it from Xerox. Apple just stole it first.
*keeping quiet over here :-)*
She won todays horse race, yes.
Yes, Darwin.
Yeah, I’m with ya on that even tho i’ve always been a sucker for the eye candy. Compiz is awesome visually and in terms of usablilty and the graphics card does all the work there.
how true how true.. I knew the asshole who brought jobs to the smalltalk lab at PARC and the rest is history…. Xerox toner heads in rottenchester screwed the pooch on that whole thing… dam I would be rich if they hadn’t :>(
Right! I’m down with that. Don’t eat my logic board time to make things float and twinkle.
Sure! It is a nice bsd like system. You’ll just be using X for a gui instead of the Mac Finder.
1,821 DAYZ AND THE KILLIN’ GOEZ ON AND ON AND…
Firepup Freedom Fighters:
Anyone got a recent number on Pennsylvania that includes the final numbers from Philly…I would prefer a NON-CNN source?
I had ta sleep before work so I missed the denoument…anyone heard how bad the lines and the computers were workin’ in metropolitan Philadelphia?
KEEP THE FAITH AND PASS THE AMMUNITION WE GOTTA ENDURE ANOTHER 2 WEEKS OF CLINTONISM!!!
OT-
From Americablog:
Via Kevin Hayden:
State:92.5% in, 203K lead, 9.8%
w3rd. bloody vm swap hell.
heh, denoument.

that is one aspect i don’t like about the linux-on-desktop thing. becomes so bloated so fast.
Apple has been chatting up the idea of consigning render tasks exclusively to display cards for quite a while.
Well, get on with it!
Didn’t realize there was a topic. Thanks for this, though. This is bad news. If our economy goes in the tank but others stay strong, it should mean we can get better more quickly. That doesn’t appear to be the case with China, at least.
Excellent. I’m looking to try the WUBI version, which runs as an application under XP. Actually, I’m conning some of our sys admins into trying it first — they do in minutes what takes me days.
This machine is very low-end but with OpenGL is also very usable.
They have an environment where they can do that. You’d think they’d be there by now. Linux and the BSDs can make pretty good use of the hardware when the manufacturers share the specs. That’s not happening as much as it should, though.
Thanks, Newt… I had some errands to do… I just missed BK I see…!
Heh, Ya’ll are geeking me out…! 8-P
Here’s the Secretary of State’s results with almost 99% counted.
Penn Sec of State Primary Results
That has it 54.3% Clinton to 45.7% Obama which is an 8.6% differential. There were a few left over precincts left in Philly and Chester County, but probably won’t change things very much. The link will give you county by county results, if that’s what you’re interested ib Citizen Norske!
heh, I’m glad you pointed wubi out to me. I normally skip over any that say Windows ;)
Yes, and that 2GB is without the desktop per se. You still have a lot of bloatware along for the ride, though.
Are you running Gnome, or KDE?
Diebold-Murdoch-Blackwater-Halliburton = axis of evil… probably need to throw Massey Coal in their somewhere too
Murdoch wants the Newsday too, that would be his third NYC paper…!

That’d be nice… here’s the linky…
Hot damn. It was a single-digit spread after all.
Just compiz! It’s the only way I can keep my desktop clean ;)
It looks like a great way for Windows folks to get involved with Linux without cutting off the limb they are sitting on.
Thanks. Just updated my site. Looks like a bit better than expected finish by Clinton, but certainly not earth-shattering.
try ubuntu on a usb stick :)
