Update: The entire classic campaign has been beaten using only the bongo.

OWNED, BITCH.

I’ve got Wyatt over here with his Gamecube and his bongo controler. And we decided to have some fun, so we put super smash brothers in and started playing with the bongo. You can’t move, so winning is impossible, right?

Wrong. Five levels won, so far.

w00t.

I’d like to introduce all of my loyal fans and supporters (Like Jessica!) to the newest member of the Owl’s Nest, Hawk!

No, Hawk isn’t another used pile of shit someone turned into a computer. Hawk is a sleek, sexy, 128mb USB flash drive!

Hawk is currently having massive amounts of data transfered onto him and organized, so that he may become useful as my new technical-support sidekick! I’m guessing he may come in handy next week at the SCOSUG installfest. (Please, please, PLEASE come! PLEASE! Bring your computer and we will install linux for you! We’ll configure it! Just COME!)

So far I have linux documentation (All of the HOWTOs from tldp.org and a few security texts I aquired back in the days of NixSec, Cyberknights, and Reflux), Putty’s ssh client, scp client, and keygen, Adaware+Spybot+Updates, closed-source video card drivers with their documentation for linux, hosts files that remap the domain names of advertisers to localhost so you don’t have to see their shit, and a readme file with contact information in case I misplace the USB stick.

Any suggestions on what else to add to Hawk would be appreciated. I still have ~100mb left on him.

Our English sub is having a great week. Not only did she have a minor stroke yesterday (This being about two weeks after a heart attack), but she got a call at the end of class. A few seconds after picking up the phone, she exclaims ‘THE HOUSE IN ON FIRE!?!’. No comment.

I’m not sure if I have talked about our keyboarding sub in any detail yet. Since I don’t have much more to write about, and I don’t want to add another tiny post like last time’s, I shall explain his insanity.

He started off rather well. He was our first keyboarding sub that actually had us approach a computer. And a keyboarding book. And he gave us an assignment.

However, after the first three minutes, things started to go down hill…

He repeated his name to us about ten times. ‘I am Mr. Lokette, ok?’. ‘You know that my name is Mr. Lokette, right?’. ‘My name is…Mr. Lokette!’. This pissed people off to no end. On top of that, he would call our attention every few minutes and start talking about random bullshit, such as the soes the Queen of Luxemburgh wore last year.

Finally, the fire alarm goes off. Everyone proceeds out of the room, down the stairs, blablabla. Then our WHOLE CLASS stands TOGETHER, waiting for him to come down so we can check in with him. (The teachers all come down last, as to be sure that all students get the hell out. The NHPS’s motto ‘Kids First’ does have its uses…)

And the bastard walks right by us. He even stares at us for a few seconds, and then he goes to a truck and gets into it. Initally, I thought he had driven away. This, however, was not the case. After about a week I realized that him getting into a truck was quite odd. Why? He took the O bus to school every day.

Now, last week we had M(r)s. Coggins (The principal) come in and try to teach us, since Lokette really isn’t a (keyboarding) teacher. She notices there are not enough terminals for every student in the class, so she moves the class to room 212. Easy enough to remember, right? All the students remember.

But not Mr. Lokette, oh no! We have had two classes since the room was moved, and both times someone has had to go and fetch him from the old room after about 20 minutes.

After 20 minutes of not having your class appaear, wouldn’t /you/ stop and think?

We also hear a few things the principal has to say about Mr. Lokette before he shows up for class. According to her, she leaves us assignments, and that crazy bastard changes them, every time, without fail. So he can’t fuck shit up, she writes it on the board /before/ he is in the room. Impossible to fuck that up, right?

Wrong. After she leaves he starts playing with the eraser and markers. He randomly removes a letter or number and writes something else in. (Warmup -> Wramup, Keyboarding -> Keybroadring, Page 13 -> Page 134). Then he starts writing something, and erases it. Again and again. Finally, he fucks around with whatever the teacher who last had the room wrote.

With any luck he will be dismissed from his position at Career by the end of the week. If he isn’t, I guess I can always help the process along by filing a formal complaint with the office. Something about his lack of any expertise whatsoever and not feeling safe around him, therefore not being able to learn properly will have the school in enough fear of litigation to just get rid of him and be done with it. Weee.

In other news, I have done the impossible and bested Neda on a World Civ quiz. Don’t ask me how I did it, but I managed to score higher than she did on the first test. PWNED.

Another dull week of school. Nothing of any great interest transpired there at all.

However, I have just remotely compiled a kernel module and configured someone’s wireless usb adaptor for them. First time I ever screwed around with that funky wireless stuff. I didn’t like it too much. It was…lacking. At best.

Been watching cartoons on NG a lot this week. Mhm. That’s all for now.

Oh, wait. SuSE sucks. Never use SuSE.
