Well last night I had a rather long argument with a guy I've known on irc for atleast 6 years.

It ended with him calling me a loser and a deadbeat.

Now, I realize its just irc, and that I shouldn't let it get to me. So I'm not. I'm letting that motivate me.

I started putting apt4rpm into the distro and already its dependancy hell. I'm going to blame perl. apt4rpm requires perl-XML-Simple, which requires XML::Parser and XML::SAX, which requires expact. Adding db1 isn't really much of an issue, but now I've also got to add a couple perl modules and another external library. I'm going to have to write the apt4rpm people and point out their missing dependancies, maybe they can atleast add it to the documentation.

I also setup internal dns at my house yesterday. Was getting sick of using IP's and I really hate managing a HOSTS file, especially since I do installs so often. In setting up maradns, I also had to write up some more initscripts for distro. So I got multiple things done which made me happy. w00.

Hrm, I think I just missed the bus too, and the next one isn't for an hour. Guess I get to walk to the Malden T station today. fun fun.
