So, I've patched a Mac OS X 4.6 Tiger DVD, and I'm backing up and defragmenting my hard drive, in hopes of getting the beautiful OS running on something other than its company's horribly expensive hardware. That's right. By 3:00 AM, New Years Day, OS X will be officially running on my Dell Dimension 8400. Expect pictures, and a video. Stand by over the course of the next six hours. My next post will be from Safari.
Yours 1ly, Lane.

Well, not really a comic. It's more choice snippets from some of my old/new IM logs. These are all real, and are not staged. WARNING: THIS COMIC CONTAINS EXPLICIT LANGUAGE THAT YOU MAY FIND OFFENSIVE. Seriously, it does. I'm not held responsible if you choose to ignore this warning link. Last chance. R-rated. Seriously? Okay, go. Enjoy yourself.

My writing's been getting progressively worse, and I'm not sure if anyone really reads anymore. I'm going to stop writing for a bit, and focus on some of my C# projects. And my webcomic.
G'bye.
You better watch out.
(Is that a threat?)
You better not cry.
(I'll feel what I want to.)
Better not pout.
(What if I were depressed, you insensitive moron?)
I'm telling you why.
(Are you? I didn't recognize the childish disposition.)
Santa Claus is coming to town.
(Not to a gated community, he's not.)
He's making a list.
(I prefer arrays.)
And checking it twice.
(Obsessive-compulsive?)
Gonna find out Who's naughty and nice.
(Based on Christian moral standards.)
Santa Claus is coming to town.
(Gated community, idiot!)
He sees you when you're sleeping.
(That's just kinda creepy.)
He knows when you're awake.
(Yeah, it's kinda easy to tell. I'm kinda...conscious.)
He knows if you've been bad or good.
(This reeks of the bible.)
So be good for goodness sake!.
(Goodness sake? That's not even proper grammar!)
Oh! You better watch out!
(I swear to god.)
You better not cry.
(Look, I'm not going to be censored!)
Better not pout.
(Mental disorders!)
I'm telling you why.
(I think you do have OCD. Stop repeating yourself.)
Santa Claus is coming to town.
(Are you even listening to me?)
Santa Claus is coming to town.
(I can't take this. Have a mediocre holiday.)

This was a good week, guys.
So, I'm working collaboratively with a kid who lives in Greece. He's not online, most of the time, so I have to get home from school as early as possible to meet him and discuss code. Just two problems. The first is that I live in Rochester, NY. This would be the place where it snows, on average, SEVEN OUT OF TWELVE MONTHS in the year! The second is that my bus has approximately a 10% chance of not showing up on time. Well, Monday was a bad day for it not to. It was a horrible blizzard outside, and --------------------- were telling a busload or two of kids to get inside. I didn't have time for that. I live about one mile from the school, and I've walked home before. I know the route. Problem was, about five feet away from being off of school property, the vice principal caught me. No big deal, walking home is fine, but ------------ does NOT like me. (A lot of people don't.) He called me to get back there. I ignored him, and walked home. What does he do?
He suspends me!
Yes, teenage programmers who walk home (and apologize afterwards, of their own accord, with a reasonable explanation as to why they left in the first place) apparently pose an immediate threat to the school, so I have to walk into school at eight in the morning, watch my parents and -------------------------------- yell at each other for half an hour, and leave right afterwards! ------------ told us he was concerned about my safety, but the other -------- who was walking home with me had on shorts! He didn't get a call, or in the least bit of trouble! Good news is, though, I finished my C# application. While on suspension.
(Like my new public censorship method? Trigonometric ratios!)
Just stopping by to tell you all something really amazing. This is a small computer, running a Linux kernel. I mean REALLY SMALL. It's the size of a quarter, and as thin as an iPod nano. I can hardly believe how much computing has advanced in the past few years. :P
