in the name of zero

i’ve been rather quiet in the last of couple of days first, coz last week was midterms week and i’m taking two math and two cs majors this semester… juggling with these four subjects has been a total drag. but past is past, even if i’m still living in it.

my parents were infuriated over the construction of our new neighbor’s gate. apparently, the engineer overseeing the construction of their house forgot about the existence of a right of way, pushed through with the original design and built an extension stair (about two steps total) leading up to the elevation where the gate is. what kind of retard forgets a thing like that? the dummest one. anyhoo, they destroyed the stairs at the request of my dad. now, their stairless knee high elevated gate is uglier than ever… and pretty much useless too. again, past is past.

recently, another construction issue has been brought up. this time, about his exhaust holes. ok, we now understand that this asshole, in his efforts to avoid flood come rainy season built his house on much higher ground than everyone else’s, built his gates higher than everyone else’s so that flood from outside can’t come in, and bored two holes in his gate to act as drainage for the water stuck in his property. (water seeks low ground dammit!)

i can’t wait to see the look on that sucker’s face once we pop his doorstep with another complaint about his exhaust holes draining towards the right of way (and possibly flooding the entire compound’s only way out) mom told us to wait till the construction is done… such genius! a diabolic plan to add insult to injury.

for now, he pledged to cement the right of way. sure, the mud will be gone…. but i’m more concerned about my socks getting wet when i go to school..

thirdly, our t.v. set is busted and this is a predicament. how the fuck am i supposed to watch desperate housewives now!? we asked the cable company to temporarily stop their services too coz we’re practically just handing them over money for nothing.

fourthly, merged gcc-3.3.5.20050130-r1 but encountered an error when i compiled sylpheed-claws:

libtool: link: cannot find the library `/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.3.3/libstdc++.la'

heaven amerei # fix_libtool_files.sh 3.3.3 somehow did the trick. then again, past is past.

as of the moment, i’m …

1) downloading this game.

2) looking for reasons to write a fanfiction about starcraft, one of my favorite games.

3) trying to get back on track with gtk.
