@ Acgla’s Place

I was upgrading wordpress and something went wrong. Its all good now.

In news that is sure to excite the Linux community, long time Linux developer Todd Stanton got laid.

Happy Todd”I still have trouble believing it myself,” said Todd. “I was doing some coding when my power supply blew. Instead of pulling out the spare like I usually would, I decided to head down to Best Buy to check out the new DVD releases. Nothing new was out, so I bought another copy of ‘The Matrix’ since the one I had was pretty worn out. Turns out the checkout girl was a Matrix fan too and well one thing led to another.”

Word spread rapidly on message boards and on IRC. “It’s pretty irresponsible of him and shows his lack of dedication to Linux and the open source movement,” said Fred Simpson. “If others try to emulate this behavior then a lot of projects could get derailed.”

Others like Gary Wilcox were glad to hear the news, “We’re tired of all those Microsoft developers shoving their Win-Ho’s in our face. Now we can tell them about Todd. Who’s laughing now?”

Some developers are also excited that this may increase their chances of getting lucky, but most are being realistic. Walker Crandall said, “We thought we’d all be doing the hokey-pokey after Bill Fitzsimmons got some during the LinuxWorld Conference in 1999. We were fooling ourselves. Nobody got nothing.”

This is the third such occurrence for Linux developers since 1991.

Obviously.

Uhm, some dude called Paul Russel said this weird shit

PR: The setting is a UNSC Antarctic weather station with the completely arbitrary and stupid number z/41, it means nothing. Until the fans write some fictional significance into it and we eventually have to reverse engineer it into our canon. Thanks a lot, fans.

Venezuela is very nice this time of year. <--- Wtf? It's NOT.

PR: There’s equipment now, which changes the dynamic quite a bit, I hear. The original model was a chaotic mess to work in, so I rebuilt it from scratch, keeping only the buildings, which I also promptly gutted and rebuilt. As a result it’s probably completely different and you’ll all hate it, me and Bungie as a result. Mission accomplished.

Kidding, you’ll love it. The kids love Lockout, it’s bigger than the Beatles, but with more grenades. <--- True.

PR: I don’t know. I loathe playing video games. HOW CAN YOU LIVE WITH YOURSELF? UBER-WTF.

PR: This is the first time I believe we’ve tried a full-blown nighttime multiplayer map. Originally I wanted it to take place on the back of a giant llama. I’m still bitter about this.

I have to go now; I have a busy schedule as I am also the President of Venezuela. Vaya con queso! I understand vaya con queso ( May cheese be with you), but why in hell would you say you are Chavez? COSMIC T-REX FOR YOU.

PR: Equipment, field of view tweaks, higher resolution, widescreen, Forge and I, Paul Freakin’ Russel, am the primary artist. El Dios bendice Venezuela! <— And this kids is why you don’t go to work high.

Banner is de-fucked up.

Uh, yeah sorry about that. Im on hotel wireless and it won’t let me change it : (.

Have you ever thought you were meant for something greater? For a bigger purpose? I did. A foolish quick-handed sticky-handed young man, a thief if you will, hoping for something greater as i leveled up enough to become a proper Assasin.

I was just out of Morroc, with my thief title, wondering what would i do in between leveling up and saving zeny for a Stilletto. I was in payon, where people are scarce and pecos are close by. Wondering around, i talked to a shadowy figure, hidden by some trunks. His name was Rurumani and he told me that sometimes, a thief friend of him send someone to make a bag. There it was. My purpose. You may be wondering what was it with this bag? Well, for starters, it’s not a regular bag. Its THE “Leather Bag of Infinity”. Infinity? Yes. That would be my ultimate goal. The power of holding anything and everything. I just had to go to Morroc, right? How foolish of me.

Within minutes of taking this quest, i realized how little chance i had of succeeding in this quest i quickly became aware of my own weaknesses. I was only base level 26 and job level 15. I was in that threshold of ability and inability at the same time, depending on others for bigger monsters, doing fine by myself on the medium sized ones. I tried to kill one of the monsters that dropped an item for my quest. Needless to say, it was a complete failure. I got killed within seconds.

As i reappered in Prontera, i quickly noticed another chracter, sitting in the floor, in my 5-person-average-server. I soon realized he was a friend of mine, Arfandualo, a Mage (i still make fun of him for it) who was in his mid 40’s (lvl people, not age). He was the right person for the job. But he was afk.

As usual, Arfandualo was afk, sitting in the middle of Prontera. I had forgotten he always has his RO on. But, in an almost miracoulous fashion, he returned from his AFK and said:

Arfandualo: Sup?

Me: Hello, my friend! You arrive just in time for our quest.

Arfandualo: wut quest?

Me: A quest for the “Leather Bag of Infinity“.

Arfandualo: whats that?

Me: A bag of infinity.

Arfandualo: i mean, like, what is it? what does it do? where can i find one?

Me: Its a bag, it holds infinite stuff you can find it with me.

Arfandualo: kk.

I had found a Mage to protect me, and i would guide him into the items necessary for our quest. The first on the list were scorpion tails, which, obviously, were dropped by Scorpions. Scorpions which were in moc_fild04.

We were in Payon, so we continued onto moc_fild01, then to moc_fild02 and then, finally, we arrived at moc_fild04.

The monster here were most bizarre, ranging from something as weird as fried-eggs-holding-a-frypan-named-magnolia and some as normal as Desert Wolf. It ws an amusing sight seeing Arfandualo fight these beasts. Being a Mage, he couldn’t use melee effectively and had somewhat low HP, so all of the “fight” was him running in circles and trying to get away enough to be able to cast a spell, which he did, eventually.

The fight was hard but we hold onto the ground. I barely got damaged becaused of my increased AGI as a Thief but Arfandualo was taking a beating. Time passed and i died, leaving the work to him. It took some time but finally we collected the Scorpion Tails.

Next on the list were Cobwebs.

I arrived to Prontera to get some supplies… But then, something irregular happened. A Winged Character started healing us… It was very unlike my server, because there are at most 7 people in it… and i know that none of them are an Advanced class. A couple of seconds later we go into a conversation:

Me: Thank you for healing me, good sir. : ).

Planet[That was his name]: Hey acgla, do you have another char?

Me: No, why?

Planet: Im just gonna tell you –

*Dramatic pause* <–That actually happened. He said, im just gonna tell you, waited a few seconds and then he said:

Planet: Be careful with what you do.

Me: Ok.

I pm’ed Arfandualo about this:

Me: Hey, do you know who he is?

Arfandualo: He is a GM, don’t mess with him.

I was totally scared by this event so i ran out of prontera and ended up on mjolnir_10. I was freaking out, because, 10 mins later i remebered I DID HAVE ANOTHER CHAR, in the high rate server. I frozed as i came to the horrible conclusion in my head, so i asked Arfandualo about this:

Me: Oh my. I just remembered i DO have another char.

Arfandualo:Hmmm, you just lied to a GM bro.

Me: I have to delete him!

Arfandualo: Go! I’ll wait here!

I logged out and logged back in. I changed the server to the high rate one and deleted my other character. Then i entered with my normal character.

Me: Ok, i am back.

Arfandualo: good, let us continue with our quest.

Me: Hey, what if they can see i just erased a character!? That’d look suspicious, wouldn’t it?

Arfandualo: Calm down, dude…

Me: Do you think they can read pm’s? If you are reading this IM SORRY.

Arfandualo: Im sure they can’t.

Me: Oh my, oh my. Im gonna get banned!

Arfandualo: Your not gonna get banned, he just prolly wanted to know if you are the same guy he saw on the high rate server.

Me: I can’t get banned! We’re on quest!

Arfandualo: You’r not gonna get banned for having another char.

Me: If you are reading this I BEG FOR YOUR FORGIVENESS.

Arfandualo: If you are reading this please kill him.

Me: I can’t get banned, im on a quest! Wait…

Me: Maybe thats why they are trying to ban me. We’re on a quest. A secret quest? A forbidden quest?

Arfandualo: 1st your not gonna get banned, 2nd every thief has to do this quest to get throw sand.

Me: We must finish this quest! It’s the only way to end this madness once and for all.

Arfandualo: I’m telling you, this is not a special quest.

I decided to ignore him and we continued on our way to kill Argoses. They were tough but they fell apart to Arfandualo’s Lightning Bolt. We finally had all of the items we needed (The cactus needles and worm peelings we had from prior to this quest)

When we arrived at Payon i naturally ran to the Bag Seller (Rumumuri) and politely asked him to give us our Leather Bags of Infinity, but he wouldn’t, it turns out he was asking for earthworm peelings. Luckily the nearest Hodes (earthworm peeling droppers) were just about 3 maps away.

Once we got there i started to wonder, maybe that gm had changed that quest on purpose? Maybe he was leading us into a trap? Maybe, perhaps, could…I was beggining to get more paranoid with each passing second…I had to do something. So, i went to my fridge and took out a Pepsi Light. Caffeine always makes you feel good.

The end of my quest was near. The item was close. We had all the items we need. We went to talk to the bag seller, and he gave us the bags. We were in ecstasy. But, as i noticed some minutes later, the item wouldn’t equip because it was a quest item.

This all happened in a RO private server www.akariladon.com, yesterday, took place between 5pm and 2am, this is NOT fiction. Thanks for reading.

The REAL reason we use Linux

We tell people we use Linux because it’s secure. Or because it’s free, because it’s customizable, because it’s free (the other meaning), because it has excellent community support…

But all of that is just marketing bullshit. We tell that to non-Linuxers because they wouldn’t understand the real reason. And when we say those false reasons enough, we might even start to believe them ourselves.

But deep underneath, the real reason remains.

We use Linux because it’s fun!

It’s fun to tinker with your system. It’s fun to change all the settings, break the system, then have to go to recovery mode to repair it. It’s fun to have over a hundred distros to choose from. It’s fun to use the command line.

Let me say that again. It’s fun to use the command line.

No wonder non-Linuxers wouldn’t understand.

The point with us Linux fans is - we use Linux for it’s own sake. Sure, we like to get work done. Sure, we like to be secure from viruses. Sure, we like to save money. But those are only the side-effects. What we really like is playing with the system, poking around, and discovering completely pointless yet fascinating facts about the OS.

There are three main reasons Linux is so much fun:

1. Linux gives you complete control

Ever tried stopping a process in Windows and the OS wouldn’t let you? Ever tried deleting a file - and you couldn’t? Even though you had admin rights?

Linux lets you do anything. That’s the great benefit of usually logging in as user. If you login as the root, the OS assumes you know what you’re doing. Once you become root, everything is allowed.

2. Linux isn’t widely used

This is a paradox. We often complain Linux isn’t more widely used. But that’s one of the reasons we use it. It gives us a feeling of being a special clique. Like we’re better than “those ignorant masses”.

If Linux becomes widely used, we’ll probably switch to something else. Or at least develop an obscure distro that only we will use. Because, let’s face it, we want to feel special.

3. Linux is free (as-in-speech)

We can get the source code for all our applications. If we want to know how a certain part of the OS works, we can. This lets us tweak and play with our systems. And we absolutely loo-o-o-ve tweaking our system.

Of course we can’t tell non-Linuxers we use Linux because it’s fun - they’d stick us into a mental asylum quicker than you can say “antidisestablishmentarianism”. So we’ll keep telling them the false yet plausible reasons for using Linux. But deep inside, we’ll know the real reason we use Linux.

And maybe, just maybe, next time someone asks me why I use Linux, I’ll flash a huge smile and answer: “Because using Linux is FUN!”
