Stupid ^%*@ Hashes!!
If you are having problems with hashes not initializing in perl, check to make sure you are using the “{}” brackets instead of regular “()” brackets. Knowing that would have saved me 60 minutes today
Finally got around to cleaning up my keyboard.
Reminder: Clean your keyboard every month or this will happen to you.
I am sure you are smart enough to know which is “before” and which is “after”.
I also made sure to use a lot of antibacterial soap. *sad*
Weird moment on a message board.
I don’t like what I’m turning into.
I was reading the politics section of a message board. Someone there, a white American, posted about George Bush getting assassinated. I read that, and then suddenly felt a bit scared. Eventhough I’m in a different country, I didn’t post it, I certainly didn’t think it, and no one I know personally posted it. I even made a flippant reply just to try to cleanse away the nagging feeling of fear that resulted.
This assassination talk is making me really uncomfortable. For my masters in the FBI who are doubtlessly monitoring my internet connection, please rest assured that I harbour no such feelings against your president. If I were a person who wanted to do you harm, I would probably encourage his re-election and that of the Repubs, since bankruptcy is the only way I see America falling from power.
God what’s happening to me..?
Classics Optimus Prime
Another transformers gallery for the ages; the newly released Transformers: Classics variant of Optimus Prime. Transformers: Classics is not entirely an original idea; the Japanese Takara corporation has been releasing re-imaginings of the first generation of Transformers for a very long time now. However, most of their attempts have been limited to minor engineering changes to give better articulation; there was no “re-interpretation” involved. This line marks the first time that Hasbro and Takara co-operated on a complete re-imagination of some of the major characters released between 1984 and 1986. The look of the character has been changed, but certain essential elements have been kept the same; Optimus is a Semi, Hot Rod is a red sportscar with a yellow spoiler in the back, and Bumblebee is a small yellow hatchback.
And now without further ado – Optimus Prime!
