Man, Christmas is just not fun as a 19 year old when you compare it to when you were younger. The magic is gone.
And now they’re telling me Santa Claus doesn’t exist? Fuck this, I’m building a time machine.

After reading for about 20 straight hours, I finished the novel Unintended Consequences. It’s a pretty long book.
Basic plot is… well, the basic plot actually has nothing to do with most of the book, and doesn’t start until page 500 or so.
The main theme, however, is firearms and related laws. Honestly, that’s all the book is about.
Good book, anyway. It’s a must read if you can manage an almost 900 page, small print novel. Read the Wikipedia page for more info.
EDIT: after reading some of the reviews on the Amazon page, my mind was opened a bit, and I realized that this book should have been split in two: one non-fiction dissertation on the history and effects of gun control; and one (reasonably sized) work of fiction that covers the main plot of the current Unintended Consequences novel.
Fr the first time EVER, I’ve contributed to an open source project. Yes indeed. I added Sublime Text to Wine’s AppDB.
Not much, no, but whatever. Still makes me feel warm and fuzzy on the inside. ^_^
synclient randomly seems to reset itself to the wrong values, and syndaemon –t is pretty much useless, as the touchpad turn back on if you hold down a key for more then a second, or if you hit another key within that time. So if you want your touch pad to auto-turn off while typing, you’re limited to < 60 characters per minutes. Fuck that.
