cool about plan-9

Had my drivers test today in which the guy testing me just didn't like me and failed me right after parallel parking in which I fit my 6.7ft x 14.3ft hatchback car into a space that was not the 8ft x 24ft space but the 7ft x 18ft space. I fit the car in on the "last try" with just around 2 inches separating the car from the yellow line that was the outer edge of the box, the guy then proceeds to tell me that "The back is on the line" which was also 2 inches within the box.

Got to go take my test again on the 10th because they make you wait 2 weeks minimum until your next test. Taking the test at another place that is actually closer to where I live. Also taking my dad's little crossfire because is even smaller than my Ford Focus, parallel parking in the crossfire is the easiest thing in the world to do thanks to its size.

Good luck, man. I didn't have any issues with getting my license, thankfully; I did mess up on the parallel parking, because the direction I'd practice from is opposite of what they wanted me to do :\

They failed me for just "messing up" parallel parking, didn't even let me do a road test.

What the hell?! That is such a massively dickish move, I don't even.

Thank goodness I never had to learn parallel parking / perform a parallel park in my driving test, I just had to back into a parking space. I don't think it's required for NH driving exams, since I know several people who drive but can't parallel park. :/

[Chocofreak13]

nah, i don't think parallel is on the NH test anymore. and i sympathize, since i've heard of a guy getting failed for "checking his blind spot too much". and i believe this was after being failed for "not checking his blind spot enough". concord driving instructors are dicks.

@bella: i was going to identify you as "bella" and "aurora" only, but if you want even less i'll just tell them that you're my friends and american. :3

i'm taking it upon myself to make a changeling: the dreaming wiki.. i was going to keep this little pet project quiet for a bit longer but i figured i already told pent, so it's out. i figure there's a white wolf wiki and a world of darkness wiki, there's no changeling specific wiki. there IS wenchpedia, which hosts a trove of information, but it's not as well laid-out or organized as i'd like, and there are no pictures to speak of. having a catalogue of info with a search function will be a godsend to games, since it means we won't have to flip through books/scroll through PDFs constantly to find info. it's becoming a bit of a headache, which is why i popped 2 aleve. let's see if they can back their claims. -w-

i'm really hoping that outsiders won't come in and edit my project. no offense or anything, but i created the damn thing and i feel as though i have some rights to control what is put up.


there'll also be guides to ashberg and character creation, and tables for things like merits, flaws, backgrounds, attributes, etc up in due time. i'll keep ya posted. -w-

[Nichi]

Sounds nice

On a different note, I'm really sick of the near-constant meetings at work >_<;;
I just hope this week is the last of them for the next several months

EDIT: On a lighter note, my wig arrived today. I'll get some pics tonight ^^

[Chocofreak13]

nice, man! >:3

[Nichi]

Indeed ^^

So, going through the music on my iPod. Some things of note:
- I have 777 songs; about 2.2 days worth
- Hare Hare Yukai and Dethklok's Hatredcopter are next to each other when listed in title order xD
- There are 3 songs by the title "Holiday"; all completely different songs from different bands (Scorpions, Weezer, and Green Day, if you were curious)
- There are 6 songs that start with "Mr." (In order: Mr. Crowley, Mr. Jack, Mr. Porta-Potty Man, Mr. Roboto, Mr. Scary, and Mr. Tinkertrain)
- The #1 most listened to song since I last reset the count sometime last year is a 3-way tie between "Challenge" (Diddy Kong Racing), "tartarus_0d02" (Persona 3) and Fiddle de Chocobo (Final Fantasy VII); each being played 11 times

[stewartsage]

Oh god, all I do any more is come home and sleep.  How is it 11 o'clock already, I wanted to do things!

The wiki project sounds useful Kari.  Isn't there some way to set editing to registered users only and registration approval to you only?

It's small I know :|

[Nichi]

@Kari: The Clash at Demonhead? You have the Scott Pilgrim soundtrack? Does want *w*

[Bella]

I don't have an iPod so I'm taking this data from iTunes. :|

-I have 2225 songs (supposedly), which take up 13.9GB and provide 22 days worth of music (or so it says. I don't think it adds up right).
-Grimes - Be A Body is the last played
- Radiohead - Polyethylene Parts 1 & 2 is the most played song, at ..... 25 plays. (This figure is no doubt skewed by the existence of my Sony mp3 player, my other computer, listening to songs online, etc.)
-Artist with the most songs is Radiohead (185)
-My longest songs are Sufjan Stevens - Impossible Soul (25:35), Pocupine Tree - The Sky Moves Sideways (18:39) and Paul Lansky - Mild Und Leise (18:19)
-My most unpronounceable tracks are Baths - ♥, TRS-80 - {^^""="} and Aphex Twin - ("ΔMi−1 = −αΣn=1NDi[n][Σj∈C(i)Fji[n − 1] + Fexti[[n−1]]") (I literally don't know how to pronounce the first two but the last one is Officially Nicknamed "Strange Formula" or "Equation", so that's something)
-Somehow I ended up with the entire Conet Project number stations recording on iTunes. I frequently mistake the recordings for the beginnings of Boards Of Canada songs or obscure vintage electronic music recordings (and vice-versa)
-The Conet Project is also technically my largest album but idk if sound recordings count here.

I need to summon Nej, I'm writing an enormous article on Linux-tan and need information on Linux-tan in his stories' timelines.

So...wasted my fucking time today somewhat :\

New AC for Asagi. Was free, an even swap for the one I had, no warranty...and it's fucking dead. Great; now I have no choice but to blow $80+ on one on eBay and hope it lasts longer than a day >_<;;

I suppose if there's one positive, I did find a replacement for an N64 controller I always wanted at the newly-opened Game-X-Change in that area, and a surprise for Kari that I know she'll love; so today wasn't completely a waste, just the part with me going to get an AC was :\

[Chocofreak13]

@bella: normally i'd yell at you for taking pentagrams into vain, but this seems important. *lies down on pentagram and cuts finger*

@pent: WHOO! i still think you should go back and exchange it, it reflects poorly on them to give out defective equipment. that's what happened when we got my laptop fixed for the second time, because the first replacement failed within a week. (the guy blamed his parts supplier and replaced it for free~)
also, i don't have it, but i'll likely get it. i got the song from youtube. -w-;
