Ugh. I am such a fricking dork.

Why is there a microsoft ad in Linux Magazine?

Friday I went to court for my ticket. It was a lovely experience and I got 'case dismissed'. I have to go again tomorrow for my second ticket, which is for the same offense, and hopefully will result in the same outcome. Court is strange. I think I have a good handle on the system though. Always dress appropriately, and say 'yes, your honor' and 'no, your honor' when speaking to the judge.

I've been working like crazy on atlantagoth.com as well as migrating the elist over. I think both will be fully finished by wednesday. I hope anyway. There are lots of strange mail headers and things to deal with. Sort of scary. I'd really like some help with it actually. Its just that no one seems to be famaliar with GNU Mailman, which is the elist system I'm using.

Had a lovely weekend aside from the excruciating backpain and headaches. Someone theorized that I spend too much time on the computer and my body is trying to tell me that. So, I went shopping all day satruday with Heather. We went to Mall of Georiga. It was funny. We went to the giant hot topic and flirted with the young kids working there. They seemed to like us. I like how friendly they are, despite their retail careers. Saturday night we ate dinner at Macaroni Grill in Duluth. It was so delish. Yum!

This is very personal and has nothing to do with unix. Sorry.

Well, this is it. Tonight is Michele's going away dinner. Little 5 Points, Vortex, 8:00. She is leaving this weekend, and I will most likely be out of town when she goes. Tonight is probably the last time I will see her for a long time.

Honestly, I'm completely sick about it. My heart is broken. I feel like a part of me is being taken away. We are so alike in so many ways. We're the same age, and have experienced so many of the same things growing up. She is one of the few people on earth that I could talk to and genuinely say she understood me completely. She is such a wonderful, loyal friend. I love all of my friends, and if I ever have to be separated from any of them, they'll get lots of crying too.

Michele is 'bros before hos'. There aren't a lot of people like that in the world. She has such an amazing, pure, good heart. Good girl friends are very hard to find. And Atlanta is full of vacuous whores. I feel like Heather and Heidi are really all that are left now. Michele is my fiancee. She wears my ring, and you can't have her.

Michele is a blessing, and I am truly grateful that I have her as my friend.

I'm crying now, and will probably cry hysterically later, so...
sniffle.

Wow. Upgraded ipchains to iptables today. Thank you SO much to the hardcore leet d00d that helped me :] I am super grateful. We even nmapped to make sure it was all tied up and nice. And it is. Yea! One less hell to deal with. Will implement squid tomorrow. This is fun stuff. I like it. Tape drive problems are not fun. Ick.

Added tons of stuff to the AtlantaGoth site. I put in cute new avatars, stolen from lj for the user accounts. I still need people to test it out and add content. Please email me if you're able to help.

Getting fake hair at Heather's at 7:30. I want more more more. Its so pretty. I have so much to do. Michele's going away dinner tomorrow at Vortex at 8:00. I have Atlanta Traffic Court friday at 1:00. Please let me have a nice judge. This weekend going out of town. All kinds of wackiness every day it seems like. So much coming up. My schedule is full. I miss the RSS. Hope to see him soon. Being busy is fun but makes the world move so much faster.

Wednesday 24.04.2002 6:02 PM

Mmmmm, working like crazy. Don't want to stop. Look what I won on ebay. Appearantly its a really good deal or something. Tee hee. I'm funny. Yea for not being hated!

I'm going to Heather's in a bit to get the fake hair. Yea! I just submitted a major 10 page application to Emory University on friday, so I hope I get interviews, but I also want hair.... oh my. Maybe Heather won't be too mad if I have to take it out. Also, I lost 25 pounds just sort of by accident. I think when I'm happy it makes me lose weight. I will try to be happy more.

Fake hair!

Sunday 21.04.2002 2:49 PM

Am I to be trusted? Are you? It's been too long and now I'm sad. I feel really foolish. Sleepy Sherrod is never a good one. Well, not when far away. Worship and adore, whoreship to the core. I'm in trouble.
Saturday 20.04.2002 5:04 PM

I completely fux0red my site last night. It was down for about an hour before I was able to figure out what I did wrong. It seems to be fully restored now. If there is any content that doesn't work, or broken links, please let me know. I don't like broken stuff, I can't deal with it.

The rule is as follows - Local files on left, remote files on right. Left, local. Right, remote. Do not dare challenge this convention. It is paramount to life.

AG is moving along really quickly. I desperately need people to use it and test it out before it goes full live. email me if you're interested. I also need columnists and someone who knows how to integrate gallery with phpnuke. I promise I'll devote more time to this site when that one is up and running. I'm in a good mood. Heh.

Saturday 20.04.2002 11:37 AM

I've been really busy lately. Almost no time and no desire to update. In some ways I was in heaven this weekend, in other ways, hell. Its amazing how incredibly dynamic my life is. I am so lucky, and so cursed.

Chris is my savior. I'm going to take him to dinner next week, and write a glowing letter to his supervisor. He fixed my car this week, and I am completely grateful. He and the other boys at Honda Carland got my car to pass emissions. That really saved my ass, despite getting yet another ticket yesterday. I will go get tags, and pay my insane ad valorem taxes tomorrow. As well as pay my state income tax. Over $300 in taxes tomorrow. I thought all the liberals had set it up so that poor people didn't pay taxes. What happened to that?

Sometimes I can't believe that my life is like this. I'm conservative. I listen to talk radio - exclusively. I was a girl scout. I graduated from high school with honors. I went to college. I have a normal job. I'm kind and cultured and practical. I drink plenty of water, and eat vegetables. I have a bouncy little dog that knows how to fetch and roll over. I taught her myself. I'm a thinking, feeling, intelligent, real person. I am not a figment. I am not digital. I am real. Do I have to tap on the glass and climb through the monitor before people will understand that?

Went to VNV Nation/Haujobb show friday night. Saw all the people I love. Beat Clair's ass because he tried to step to me. Really fun show, and everyone made me really happy. Shockingly, nothing bad happened at all. It was only good. Saturday went to Vortex for lunch, and tried to visit Heather at Lucky Devil, she wasn't there. Got my second ticket when leaving L5P. Sigh. Any cops out there wanna make them disappear? Heh. Went to starbucks, got coffee, watched as Suede spilled it all over the wall and couch. Sifl and Olly, Cops, America's Most Wanted, lots of fun TV. I haven't really watched TV in months. It was sort of indulgent and nice. Today Jason and I went to Burger King to check out the new vegie burger. Weird. He seemed to like it. I was too afraid.

My friends seem to be wholly miserable. They make me worry. I want to save everyone. So much happiness, so much misery. I don't understand it. I wish everyone would be ok.

Favourite quote of the weekend : "I sense tension. You want me to sucker punch him?"

Sunday 14.04.2002 8:02 PM

IRC - the legend continues.

[o0] just referred to me as his "vinyl net tart"! Unf! That's a good one.

Tuesday 09.04.2002 1:23 PM

I got a ticket yesterday for expired tags. My car is not having a good time passing Geogia emissions. Someone please help me.

Last night was fun. After work I went to visit the hairpolice, then came home and stayed up too late, having fun conversations online. Tee hee.

At work I've been having a horrible problem with this one tape drive. Its a mess. It keeps dying, not backing up, etc. Clair is having some tape drive problems too.

Clair: that's ok. i just wish i could kill them all and back the sites up from here.
Sherrod: :[
Sherrod: Want me to bring you ice cream?
Sherrod: I heard that if you rub ice cream on a tape drive, it makes them work better.
Clair: that would be an awesome fix

So please, try this workaround and let me know if it works for you. Be my beta tester. Heh.

Tuesday 09.04.2002 12:16 PM

There is a distinct, deep, satisfying pleasure that comes from not having the time to update my site, or even read the sites of others. I had a wonderful weekend. I'm so happy I could "sleep."

I got a new hat. Its not Russian this time - its "German Border Guard."

Sunday 07.04.2002 11:04 PM

I had the best night last night. Wow. I have a new keychain. Tee hee. Included is a recreation of the fortune from my fortune cookie. I love fortune cookies, not only for their prognosticating fun, but also because they taste delicious. I think this is the best fortune I've ever gotten. Unf!
Ooooooh yeah!
Friday 05.04.2002 11:41 AM

I beg of you... someone - please, please please buy me tickets for this. I promise I won't ask for anything else for christmas or birthday this year. Please please please!

My life has been really crazy for the past few weeks. Tons of stuff going on. Lug last night was really interesting. I had a good time. I think I might be doing the presentation next week. I hope not. Yikes. Ummm, install fest is on saturday, hope to see you there.

After lug and dinner with the lug kids, I went over to Holly Street to do some reet wind0ws hax0ring, d00d! Windows networking is scary, I don't like it at all. It makes me cry. I had shared the wrong interface. You know, the checkboxes are very complicated. The checkboxes and rebooting
made me confused. Now I've got Anna, Butch and Heather all online using the same cable connection. Andrew should be wired soon, and also I believe there is an extra connection for Sonia if she needs to plug in her laptop. I'm pretty happy with it. In celebration, I made this animated gif. It illustrates, in a somewhat abstract manner, me whipping windows into shape and making it bend to my will. Also, it shows my desire to rape it anally with a blue glitter strap on. : ] And as an extra, added bonus, it goes along with this story we talked about last night in lug.

I still don't understand why ps aux doesn't work. Wtf?

Talk Nerdy to Me
Hi. My name is Sherrod. Right now I don't really have anything to complain about. I ordered this shirt from tshirthell yesterday. I think its probably the most prefect description of my personality, ever put on a t shirt. Four words "Talk Nerdy to Me"

Since deleting my livejournal, I've written a lot more content here. I think that's a good thing. I like having a record of where I've been and what I've done. I also have stopped putting very personal things about my life on the very public internet. I think that was a very wise decision. I have a lot of great personal things going on right now, and I'm really actually... *choke* happy.

So, one thing that has made me happy is Clair. Clair is not feeling well. He has the sickness. Awwww. Poor wittle Clair. I decided this would be a good time to take advantage of him and convince him to give me a shell on his strange and unusual computing mechanism. He gave me a Solaris shell. I think that's what it is anyway. I've never been on any kind of Solaris or SunOS machine. Its hard and confusing and super fun! Yea! Up arrow and tab complete don't work. Yea! I think its bash, maybe? Yea! I can't wait to fux0r with it. I am so excited. Thanks Clair!

Lug tonight. The topic is Secure Instant Messaging by Ola Nordstrom and Sonny Rao. They have created some sort of encryption application for im. This sounds like a really great presentation, and definitely a good idea. Not to mention, Sonny and Ola are the hottest boys on the planet. Unf! Georgia Tech student center, 7pm, RM359. Please come visit. Also, don't forget that our installfest is this saturday, April 6th. Check the site for more info on that. I will be bringing sifl and begging Mike to help me with CVSup as it seems to not be working.

Yes, yes, look at my happy little face.

Wednesday 03.04.2002 11:09 AM

Well, more Windows hell to attend to this evening. I will be going over to the house on holly street to set up their internal network. Windows 2000 Internet Connection Sharing. I think its funny that I can set up nat and dhcp off the top of my head for a linux or BSD gateway now, but have no idea where to begin with Windows. Sounds fun though. I'm reading up. I'm going to nmap them in a minute and see what it looks like right now. I had Butch download Zone Alarm. That's the only free windows firewall I know of. They caved to my advice and got ATT cable internet. They can run servers now. Unf! I'm also going to put in Heather's second hard drive. I hope it has all the jumpers. I've always wondered what I would do if I needed extra jumpers and didn't have any. Where do they come from?

She said in return for my geekiness she would put extensions in for me. I think its super cool that I now have a skill besides photography that I can trade for stuff. "I'll set up your network, if you give me fake hair." What a deal.

Oh, and we're still going to Vortex. Try and be there around 7.30. I think Lauren may come was well. Woo hoo. I haven't seen her in ages. Call if you want directions or anything.

Tuesday 02.04.2002 3:12 PM

So, the postnuke installer is all gui. I thought it would just be a download, then ./configure sort of thing. But, according to the readme, I have to run some php file from a browser. Very interesting. I didn't get a chance to do it last night. Was too sleepy. Had to take a nap.

I'm listening to this Artz+Pfusch stuff I was able to find on Audio Galaxy. I want more more more. I decided to download the kazaa client. Wow, its perfect. Works really well. And I read that they are based in holland, and recently a Dutch judge found that they could not be held responsible for royalty payments, but that it was the users' responsibility. That makes me happy. It works like a charm. There's even a Morpheus migration tool. So nice. Mmmmmm. I've also been sucked into The Faint like everyone else around here. Some of their stuff is really delicious.

Heidi, Jason and I are going to the Vortex for dinner tonight. Meet at Sloan Square at 7pm if you'd like to go with us.

Tuesday 02.04.2002 12:02 PM

Just what I needed. Mmmmm hmmm. Worked on sifl a bit today. I got the mysql server installed. For some reason I only had the client part. Downloaded and untarred postnuke. I plan to install and configure later tonight. Should be interesting. I will most likely have to reboot. I worked my
ass off on the Interz0ne.com site last night. I redesigned and rebuilt the whole thing in like two hours. Just call me the dreamweaver goddess. I can't wait to start mucking with postnuke. I think its going to be super cool. I also have a secret little web dev project I'm working on. I hope to have it launched by the end of the month. I think it will be really well recieved. I can't believe how much web stuff I've been into lately. Web building and messing with X and fluxbox on sifl. Michele used sifl last night to look at some web stuff. She used Opera and Konqueror. That was pretty cool. I was trying to get her to install a gui aim client, but she didn't want to.

Interesting weekend. I'm totally exhausted. I put up my fantasm pictures. They are sort of scary and there aren't many of them. I put all of the information from March in the archive.
