Mmm Gnome2

Got gnome2 working on my laptop—mmmm pretty. Debian needs a lot of work put in to make it as smooth as the gnome 1.4 environment, but it’s doing bloody well, all things considered :-)

Toy!

This morning my MP3 handsfree for my phone turned up—the software on the CD installed flawlessly into my Win98 VMWare and all I need now is to write a small shellscript to re-encode MP3s to 64kbit mono to save space.

Boys and their toys!

Got a new T68i today—very good fun to play with—was impressed to discover that it accepted .GIF and .JPG files, and its theme format is a POSIX tar file containing a few gifs or jpgs and an XML document specifying the theme. All very standardsish :) I think I need to sleep now, and let the phone complete its charge cycle

I'm worried (a bit) about this...

I decided to take a personality test as-linked from a friend’s LiveJournal account here Amazingly my results were remarkably similar to my own analysis of myself:

DisorderRating
Paranoid:Low
Schizoid:Low
Schizotypal:High
Antisocial:Low
Borderline:Low
Histrionic:Low
Narcissistic:Low
Avoidant:Low
Dependent:Moderate
Obsessive-Compulsive:Low

Here (for your delight and efidication) is the explanation of the non-low sections… Schizotypal Many believe that schizotypal personality disorder represents mild schizophrenia. The disorder is characterized by odd forms of thinking and perceiving, and individuals with this disorder often seek isolation from others. They sometimes believe to have extra sensory ability or that unrelated events relate to them in some important way. They generally engage in eccentric behavior and have difficulty concentrating for long periods of time. Their speech is often over elaborate and difficult to follow. Dependent Dependent personality disorder is characterized by a need to be taken care of. People with this disorder tend to cling to people and fear losing them. They may become suicidal when a break-up is imminent. They tend to let others make important decisions for them and often jump from relationship to relationship. They often remain in abusive relationships. They are overly sensitive to disapproval. They often feel helpless and depressed.
All in all, far far too scary
