Just to let you know in advance, the title is an inside joke. Unless you were at ARGS today, it probably wouldn't even been funny if I explained it. One of those "you had to have been there" sort of deals. Trust me, I'm a fuckin riot.
So I made the venture up to ARGS today to attend some "Robotics Meeting" something or another. They were pretty much just sorting stuff and hangin around. Not like I had anything better to do today. I got really pissed when trying to get there though. The exit I usually take was blocked just far enough that you couldn't go down it. It made no sense, they blocked off an area of 10 yards maybe.
Well after that was done, Chris and I headed to the mall and got something to eat. Went to Chick-Fil-A. Chris noticed that the C in Chick-Fil-A was a chicken's head, the most obvious thing in the world. Not to mention we had the Chick-Fil-A logo almost anywhere you look in that place. All you see is:
Then we went to EB where Chris had another brilliant deduction, but we won't go into that. Just playin Chris. Haha. We also went to Circuit City, where I purchased my first actual CD in about 3 or 4 years. Downloading is my game usually. But I bought Modest Mouse's - Good News for People Who Like Bad News:
Speaking of downloading music for free, time for a little tech talk. BitTorrent is becoming a popular way to obtain certain "things" off the internet for nothing. Think of BitTorrent as a Kazaa, but more or less as a distributed file sharing. It taps into unutilized upload capacity of other people. Other people distributing your content. Great for sending large files to other people.
I've used a few BitTorrent clients, but my favorite has to be Azureus. Azureus is an easy to use, java based client for downloading multiple torrents, setting torrent priority, and useful information on your torrents. BitTorrent usually comes out with better content downloads than a Kazaa would. I'm not knocking Kazaa, it's been good to me. BitTorrent is becoming extremely popular and I've noticed more and more people leaving Kazaa.
To download Azureus: http://azureus.sourceforge.net/
To download standard BitTorrent: http://bitconjurer.org/BitTorrent/download.html
A good place to start looking at torrents is: www.suprnova.org
(yes, it is suprnova...not supernova)
Well, I'm tired now. Long entry. Sleep. Now.
Osmosis bitch.
Too lazy...
heh, damn that bagle. But yeah, that exit crap was very stupid. Oh, and the boogie board STILL doesn't make up for your lack of pants.
