links to all the super cute pictures available on this gmail theme?
Screw the mountains!

Loosing my identity

For the record, I do not have a myspace or facebook profile. If you see someone listed as kattrap on most social networking sites, it's someone else.


I've also never done a dance called the "batman"

Hardy Heron is well..not hardy

T60 laptop with intel wireless and ati graphics... I had the wonderful idea recently to convert my windows laptop to a VM and run ubuntu as the primary OS. With 7.10 Gutsy this actually worked pretty well except for some video problems. Some forum posts talked about how ati driver problems would be resolved with hardy so i took the plunge.
and am still waiting to surface.
Firefox 3 beta 5 still has a long way to go and should not be the primary browser. I've been trying to use ff3b3/4/5 on another laptop with some frustration for a while but always had a backup.
Wireless. Hardy decided to use the new open source intel wireless driver...which i can understand ...but it totally broke any EAP authentication (confirmed in intel's bugzilla queue). So I had perfectly running fancy LEAP wireless at my work which is totally busted now.
VMWare workstation needed to be tweaked to configure for this kernel
Did I mention ff3b5 sucks?

And my graphics are still broken...and they moved the gui config options around so i can't even get to the same configuration areas. Please don't make me screw with xorg.conf, that never ends well.

*cry*
Almost everything I ever said nice about ubuntu is about to be resended.

Don't get me started on "Humane Meat"...

http://www.businessweek.com/ap/financialnews/D8UHQ3D80.htm

The basis of the story is that HSUS has a tape from a particular
slaughterhouse with employees beating on "downed" cows. So large
businesses are banning/boycotting meat from this particular
slaughterhouse.
Does anyone else see how this is missing the bigger picture??

A few days ago I was reading some depressing free peninsula newspaper
and came across a story of a cow that was "still at large" after
escaping from a San Mateo County slaughterhouse. (If the paper wasn't
already burned, I would offer you more info and a link, I don't even
remember the name of the paper.)

Only a one time occurrence? Lets see what google has to say:
http://www.google.com/search?q=cow+escapes+from+slaughterhouse

Is HSUS's video the first showing torture of sick/injured cows? NO. Of
any cows? NO.
Is the "Humane Slaughter Act" a joke to begin with? YES.

What the hell do people think happens normally for cows all over the
world? Ban meat from one slaughterhouse? As if the others
slaughterhouses are filled with dandelions and rainbows??

Give me a fucking break.
Don't kill.
