A celebrity is one who is known to many persons he is glad he doesn’t know.

H. L. Mencken
A cynic is a man who, when he smells flowers, looks around for a coffin.

H. L. Mencken
A home is not a mere transient shelter: its essence lies in the personalities of the people who live in it.

H. L. Mencken
A judge is a law student who marks his own examination papers.

H. L. Mencken
A poet more than thirty years old is simply an overgrown child.

H. L. Mencken
All men are frauds. The only difference between them is that some admit it. I myself deny it.

H. L. Mencken
All successful newspapers are ceaselessly querulous and bellicose. They never defend anyone or anything if they can help it; if the job is forced on them, they tackle it by denouncing someone or something else.

H. L. Mencken
All zoos actually offer to the public in return for the taxes spent upon them is a form of idle and witless amusement, compared to which a visit to a penitentiary, or even to a State legislature in session, is informing, stimulating and ennobling.

H. L. Mencken
An idealist is one who, on noticing that a rose smells better than a cabbage, concludes that it will also make better soup.

H. L. Mencken
Any man who afflicts the human race with ideas must be prepared to see them misunderstood.

H. L. Mencken
Conscience is a mother-in-law whose visit never ends.

H. L. Mencken
Conscience is the inner voice that warns us somebody may be looking.

H. L. Mencken
Criticism is prejudice made plausible.

H. L. Mencken
Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want and deserve to get it good and hard.

H. L. Mencken
Every decent man is ashamed of the government he lives under.

H. L. Mencken
Every normal man must be tempted at times to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin to slit throats.

H. L. Mencken
Faith may be defined briefly as an illogical belief in the occurrence of the improbable.

H. L. Mencken
For centuries, theologians have been explaining the unknowable in terms of the-not-worth-knowing.

H. L. Mencken
For it is mutual trust, even more than mutual interest that holds human associations together. Our friends seldom profit us but they make us feel safe… Marriage is a scheme to accomplish exactly that same end.

H. L. Mencken
Giving every man a vote has no more made men wise and free than Christianity has made them good.

H. L. Mencken
I believe that all government is evil, and that trying to improve it is largely a waste of time.

H. L. Mencken
I never lecture, not because I am shy or a bad speaker, but simply because I detest the sort of people who go to lectures and don’t want to meet them.

H. L. Mencken
In the United States, doing good has come to be, like patriotism, a favorite device of persons with something to sell.

H. L. Mencken
Injustice is relatively easy to bear; what stings is justice.

H. L. Mencken
It is even harder for the average ape to believe that he has descended from man.

H. L. Mencken
It is hard to believe that a man is telling the truth when you know that you would lie if you were in his place.

H. L. Mencken
It is impossible to imagine Goethe or Beethoven being good at billiards or golf.

H. L. Mencken
It is inaccurate to say that I hate everything. I am strongly in favor of common sense, common honesty, and common decency. This makes me forever ineligible for public office.

H. L. Mencken
It is now quite lawful for a Catholic woman to avoid pregnancy by a resort to mathematics, though she is still forbidden to resort to physics or chemistry.

H. L. Mencken

Yeah, just a while ago they gave me a larger webspace, for free!

Soundtracks are to mainstream music what books are to magazines. Really, I can’t stand listening to pop (unless it’s really catchy and accompanied by a good animation) on the radio and I only download music which catches My (No, I’m not gonna stop capitalizing Myself. I love doing that) attention. But soundtracks… Soundtracks are a different story altogether, no lame lyrics getting into your thinking stream, and, this is best reason, they are consistent, examples? Of course, Monkey Business from Black Eyed Peas. I like My Humps, so I buy the album hoping for some more songs like this. But then i get “Going Going”, “Disco Club” and “Feel It”, now, I’m not saying that’s bad, I’m saying I like consistency. When you download (example) Castlevania:Aria of Sorrow OST, you expect to get an unique kind of music and it is consistent through all the OST. Now, there are some exceptions like Dexter’s OST which includes various remixes, and covers from other artist other than Daniel Licht but there’s always an exception. I utterly despise “rappers” today who just sing random lyrics along to a beat. NWA was a real rap band, and their best achievement was releasing an album with it’s beats, no lyrics. Now, I don’t know why i dislike lyrics, but I’m pretty sure it has to do with Me (Ha, you thought I wasn’t going to do that anymore , didn’t you?) not being able to concentrate when listening to WHEN ANGELS DESERVE TO DIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE. On the other side, I do like listening to these kind of music, I just don’t have it on my playlist, mmmmkay?

They… they said i was crazy. But now, evidence has surfaced. Diablo 3, at last!

See for yourself (not official announcement, teehee):

sad face.

Damnit scribefire, fix your firefox 3 support!

I have some grips about writing GUI but
i would have expected more than just a really large pdf file as
documentation for PyGTK. I can’t seem to find any other files on the
matter. O, Tutorial Writers, Why have you abandoned us? Most
documentation i find is really scarce. I know that them who are new
today will be the ones writing the tutorial tomorrow, but it
s a
little bit too much of a gap between them.

And don’t get all
Ghandi on Me (”Be the change you want to see in the world”)
because I can’t pass information to others if i don’t have it. Would
it strike you as odd if i didn’t? Would you hold it againts Me? Of
course not.

Moving on, I just recently discovered that people
really are using my app (ulc, the live cd editor) and i was aghast to
find it on the linux section of softpedia. Quite interesting. I can’t
help but find it interesting that this people would actually use my
wrinkly, error-filled code (It’s not really error-filled, but it is
somewhat full of what people might call ‘bad practice’). Most things
are done by os.system, but that is the way it has to be for
it to work.

I’m
already writing the GUI for the next version but right now it’s
seemingly impossible to make that damn loading bar progress. No, I
don’t want a pulsating bar. IT SERVES NO PURPOSE!. I want it to load
normally like all bars. Stupid documentation.

You
probably wonder why I’m (You can probably hear Me capitalizing my
name while I speak) ranting about pygtk. I’m not. I’m mad at
tutorial writers, and I am mad at the philosophy “If there isn’t
any, make it Yourself”. I would, generic-elitist, but knowledge has
to come from somewhere. Maybe it

s
just Me who doesn’t like the documentation (In it’s defense, it’s
large and very well-explained) but the examples there are awful
strange.

That
is all.

[It is just now that I'm realizing I fell back on the PyGTK train after i tried to change subjects.]

You know you want to.

Remember how the Ubuntu development team fucked up in 7.10 rendering my live-cd editing app useless? Well now they have UNfucked it and now my app is working again. I’m filled with so much joy that I’m opening a new section called “Downloads and How-to’s” which will provide you with my near-infinite knowledge of everything. No LS today because wine somehow managed to fuck up my Photoshop (And I’m not ready to take the leap to gimp just yet. My experiences with other peoples’ work proves that The Gimp
is capable and powerful. My experiences with my own work proves that
The Gimp has a steep learning curve mostly due to its odd interface.) installation.

I’m also working on a python clone of JDarkRoom which is itself a clone of DarkRoom for the mac. You know what they say “Every post is a repost of a repost”. Who the fuck says that, anyway?

Now GO! BE MERRY, ENJOY LIFE! FOR TOMORROW WE DIE. (I’m sure whoever said that instantly giggled like a pre-pubescent girl)

So, it’s my birthday. And im not gonna draw today so… bye i haz pizza.

Fire starts in dorm room, and the engineer wakes up, looks at the fire, grabs the trash can, fills it with water, puts out the fire, and fills it up with water again just in case. Goes back to sleep.

Fire starts again, physicist wakes up, looks at the full can of water. Baffled, dumps water out in sink, examines fire, trash can, and sink. After approximate calculations of combustion, heat capacity, and rates of oxidation, fills can with water, throws water on fire, leaves can empty. Goes back to sleep.

Fire starts again, mathematician wakes up, rolls over and looks at the fire, sink, and empty can. Thinks, “A solution to the problem exists,” and goes back to sleep.

Sorry guys. I have this rare feeling of procrastination so I’m gonna postpone the comic until tomorrow.
