in the name of zero

i found myself looking at the philippine linux users group’s membership guidlines page today 6:57 am. prestigious organization they run. seems like they’re only interested in heroic people there.

oh, and please welcome my new category “second glance still to come”. where i’ll be posting mostly, my bitter first impressions.

(supposed to be yesterday’s post)

the weather has been dangling on two extremes for two days now, at least i feel it is. rain in the morning brings welcome cold air. i like how it makes me wanna hug my pillow so much (i imagine steph huggin her pillow tight too while i’m at it). and the coldness also makes the bed more comfortable and soft for some reason. but the temperature begins to rise come first sunshine with it’s peak (day time high) around late noon - one to two pm. the weather is soo hot, i can feel my scrotum perspiring. adding to the heat are the random blackouts we’re having. it occured to me that i haven’t gone outside the house for many many days now. so i went outside our yard to get some fresh air. the electricity came back after a few hours. just in the nick of time too, since i was already at my limit. i bought coke, some ice, and cranked the electric fan up to level three.

i did some bits of c programming a few minutes after. i start now, with yet another basic examples. syscall in check. ptrace(). finished two programs, an asm prog that prints a string and quits, and a c prog that traces the asm program’s execution. here goes nothing..
