Hm, signal 8 is SIGFPE. Why would installing coreutils get an FPE ? And why does yum report the packages as installed when they're not ? Time for bed.

My dad lost his USB stick on the train. He got an e-mail from the train operator saying he could come and collect his USB stick.

I have seen some pretty badly named projects out there, but when I first heard about gNewSense some time ago it immediately shot into the top 5.

I don't know what irks me so much about it. Is it the camelCase carbonCopy of iPod nAming tHat oVerwhelms mY aEsthetic sEnses ? Is it the clever wordplay on GNU ? Is it the fact that the name calls up something vague and nebulous in my mind, instead of either perfectly describing what it is (youtube) or being mysterious (google) ? Is it the fact that everything you read about the project itself makes it sound as if it is trying to fill all the wrong holes, is a few years behind the times, and is bottled from sour grapes ?

I just can't put my finger on what it is that really irks me to the point where I turn into a critizing idiot about some project I have only a vague knowledge of.

Gee. What a nuisance.

Before I need to make some new year's resolutions and try to be a better man, one more thing to make fun of. I don't remember where I saw it, but at some point I came across ideas for a new video container, of all things, that was named YOY.

Is it just pure coincidence or blind sarcasm on the part of the creator that YOY is read out "Why, oh, why ?". Exactly the thoughts that come to my mind when someone plans to write a new video container. Google isn't helpful right now with my vague recollection, so let's just hope I dreamt it up.
