iptables -t nat -I PREROUTING -d 216.178.32.0/20 -j DROP
why would did i have to do this? my employees fail at getting work done. i still like them though.
updates on life
i’m feeling slightly under the weather but i think it is allergy-centric and not viral.
i have a few songs that people have sent me which need collab touches, and i will be tackling those as soon as my voice gets back into swing.
speaking of voice, i all but lost it at the concert on sunday. luckily, my man john came through with all the lyrics to my jams so i was able to take breathers on the back half of my bars. i had a fucking blast - everyone was great, great vibe, great everything. i really need to do more local shows - i was really surprised at the turnout.
mixtape is also coming along - i actually want to have it out by the middle of next month.
much love! here’s a vid from the show:
csi: episode generator
i love my girlfriend and all, but she is in love with csi, and i fail to see how anyone can really like that show.
her taste in TV aside from this show is absolutely fantastic, so this preference is easy to excuse as a momentary lapse in GOOD TASTE.
anyway, click here to mess with it. hit f5 to generate a new episode. i wasted a good ten minutes of my life coding that, so enjoy.
workaround to disable tooltips in gnome/beryl/ubuntu
sometimes the yellow tooltips get annoying when you already know what buttons do and in beryl when they are exploding and going bananas you may want to get rid of them.
kind of a roundabout workaround - i found it googling for a bit and modified the walkthrough for 0.2.0:
1. open beryl settings manager
2. go to window management on the top
3. go to set window attribs by various criteria on the left
4. on the “Abosolute Window Opacity” (sic) click the plus icon next to the listbox
5. select window type from the combo dropdown and type Tooltip in the textbox next to it
6. leave the slider at 0
use this until the gconf method actually works.
everything-proof sabre in gta: san andreas for pc
the guides on the internet weren’t helping me - i don’t know if i have a bunk version or what but here is what i did to get the bulletproof, fireproof, explosionproof, and damageproof sabre in the “tanker commander” mission of grand theft auto: san andreas for windows, without cheats:
1. save up 40k for the house in dillimore with the garage.
2. do the witness mission for crash and get the call from cesar to go to dillimore.
3. buy the house when you get there
4. steal a tractor (semi non essential but it makes it easier) and park it in your garage
5. go meet catalina at the place she’s at
6. while she’s yakking on about what missions are available, head forward to the gas station.
7. take the “tanker commander” mission
8. get in the tanker, then hop right out.
9. go to your house on foot and grab the tractor out of your garage.
10. string catalina along by driving the tractor a few blocks toward the sabre (it is in the parking lot of the gas station with the tanker), then getting out on foot to get her to follow - make sure you don’t lose the tractor by some stroke of gta memory loss.
if you look at the sabre, you will see it is partially submerged into the pavement, which is why you can’t move it. you can’t tractor it or anything in this state.
11. blast catalina in the face with a shotgun to fail the mission.
12. shoot the sabre’s windshield and the hood - you should see it kind of pop out of the ground.
13. press 8 on the numpad to lower the hook on the tractor.
14. back the tractor up so the hook thingy is under the front of the hood of the sabre.
15. press 2 on the numpad to life the hook - the front end of the sabre should now be lifted off the ground.
16. drive the tractor with the sabre back to your garage.
17. back it in with the tractor, let the sabre go by lowering the hook, and drive away. the garage should close, and when you open it, the doors will be unlocked and you have your sabre.
you can change the colors and buy some rims for your whip and it won’t screw up the invulnerability of the car. i popped hydros on it and threw some d’s on that bitch.
apple customer service regarding my ipod
i bought a new ipod in january. i had this old, white 40gb that went bad, and i wanted a video one.
last week on sunday, i went to the gym. i had probably only used my ipod a total of 20 times before sunday, so i expected it to work. when i turned my ipod on, the emo ipod icon showed up with the xd out eyes like the old macs and stuff used to do. i was sad, much like the icon was. my ipod was broken.
that night, i got online and registered my product with apple. i sent them a repair request - didn’t have my receipt or anything, but they didn’t ask. it probably took me about two minutes to fill out the repair form. they said they’d holler back.
the very next day, an empty box is at my door. the box had instructions on how to return my broken ipod to ipod heaven where smart people would find out what was wrong with it, refurbish it, and give it to someone else if it was indeed bad. i followed the instructions, taped the box up and relabeled it, and it sat in my car for a couple days because i am a lazy piece of shit.
i drove by officemax and popped the box in a dhl dropoff receptacle on thursday afternoon. i bought some taco bell and shopped at target.
friday, apple tells me they have my ipod and they are investigating it. i figure i’ll get another ipod sent to me in a couple of weeks. i was wrong.
today, the dhl guy rang my doorbell at 9am and he had my new ipod already. i gave him a blowjob.
in summation, the blowjob i gave the dhl guy lasted longer than the amount of time it took apple to resolve my issue. thank you, apple.
