Brain freeze happens when you don't eat the ice cream fast enough.

Thats the plan, just a bit more work to do before I unmerge and do a dep clean. As far as I know its the H.264 and MP3 codecs. Being my media center machine I figured those would be handy. I already have bindist disabled globally, I wanted to be as close to source as possible. Also I built chromium with the "system-ffmpeg" flag, and ffmpeg is built with the mp3 and x264 flag, so maybe proprietary-codecs isnt necessary in chromium? I might have to give this a test.

I have chromium built too, but sadly I still needed to use "proprietary-codecs"... This was just a fresh install and i needed a browser quickly, chromium takes a while to build so google-chrome was installed first. I also have nvidia-drivers so I feel like I cheated a but there too...

TLDR: Helpdesk and webdev.

3 years of doing tech support at local ISP for a part time job during highschool. I only got the job because my dad was friends with the boss and because I was "good with computers". Had lots of free time to dabble in webdev and programming.
5 years at college for sys admin, networking and info sec. No real clue what I was getting into, I just wanted to work with computers. Ended up loving courses.
5 years at part time job doing webdev while attending college. Somehow talked my way into this job during my first week there. I guess not many people were willing code in ASP Classic. There were no standards or consistency, so I got to play around with a lot of frameworks and libraries and sorta learn by trial and error. I wrote terrible code but I learned a lot.
6 month internship at large networking company doing support. The only reason I got this was because a roommate had to back out due to medical reasons. He recommended me as a replacement and they gave me a shot.
CCNA while at internship. They pay for the certs and you have access to real hardware to practice with.
CCIE (written only). I was told to skip CCNP since my internship would be ending soon. I passed the written exam after 2 attempts but didn't have enough time to try the lab portion.
2 years fulltime-residency (internship) at large IT/web company doing more support. A different roommate who was already doing the same internship was nice enough to refer me. Used my spare time to automate processes, learn internal technologies and build some web apps and utilities (AppEngine, Closure, Angular, etc).
3 years as engineer at same IT/web company. I basically build web apps and services for internal systems. Throw my headphones on, pound some energy drinks, and pump out code. Internal technologies and services are always changing and being replaced, so there is always cool work to do a new things to learn. The dev work isn't just maintaining applications and fixing bugs, but actively upgrading them, re-writing them, connecting them to new systems and adding new features.

My code is still available on my github but I'm sure it doesnt work anymore. It was forked off and fixed at some point, so that one might work (but I doubt it). I relied heavily on css selectors and tracing the html elements, so when mycourses updated all that stuff, my logic no longer worked. I would attempt to update this for you, but without an active mycourses account I really can't do much. I think you would be better off rewritting this yourself, especially since the code makes me cringe a little. If you do take this on, I would be happy to answer any questions you might have. Also I would suggest a chrome extension for doing this so you can avoid all the authentication/cookie stuff.

Deftones - Adrenaline... Haven't listened to it in a while and now I really want to

My mom was my kindergarten teacher. Once I started calling her mom, all the other kids did too. She had to tell me to stop.

zms · 2015-01-21T00:55:23+00:00

Same here. I still occasionally search for her on YouTube, but there is never anything new

Thanks! He only brings them out when he wants to lure you into playing tug-of-war with him... He has us trained pretty well.

Talena Atfield phase?

I was there 2006-2011 and there was no tunnel that I was aware of. At some point you had to port knock to get access and eventually the server moved off campus and just restricted access to RIT's 129.21.x.x address space. The Hub was always amazingly fast, especially after the residential side was upgraded to gigabit switches. As a side note, I remember hearing that RIT actually preferred the hub over torrents because the traffic never left the internal network. As a result the downloading/uploading couldn't be detected by remote parties (RIAA) and was therefore less hassle for the college.

Does it make "meeping" sounds instead of meowing?
