The instrument is M-Audio keystation pro 88 with some random opensource piano-like instrument.

Special thanks to ykaliuta.

So, thanks to ykaliuta I happen to have a bottle of 10yo laphroaig here and thanks to <ex-lj user="bad_opcode"/> I also have 4 seasons of Jeeves and Wooster.

Dudes, it's been a year.

P.S. And the uptime goes to show.

pts/8 [ash@dew:~$] uname -r

Wandering around the gulf's shoreline once it's first turned +18C in april, dressed like it's summer was a fucking stupid idea.

P.S.: On the positive side, uClibc guys scheduled a transition to git.

Gym. Good.

Hell, it's been like 500 messages starting with "XXX wants to share their location with you..." since yesterday's announce of google latitude thingy. Really, it should have read: "wants to share their bed with you" for me to even contemplate this in a few cases. Otherwise, quit it, people.

Got myself a present for the upcoming birthday. Envy me.


Update: here's a tiny sample. Now I'm off to replace its strings with the proper ones.

Due to my unnatural desire to pay for the phone calls that I make, my phone number has changed. The old one will remain valid and will redirect to the new one, unless I find a better use for it (which is hardly). Thus, to minimize redirection costs that my employer has to take care of, kindly ask me for the new number and use it by default. Comments are screened for this matter.

P.S. Facebook users may find the said number in my profile there.

Lauttasaari turned into a bloody swimming pool. As a result, I'm soaking wet and depressed. Get me back my proper winter!

we haz it.

Значит, так, друзья-подружки. Все то же самое за исключением П1 в пятницу (с которым пока не понятно) -- этот вопрос я делегировал bad_opcode'у. Соответственно, звоните-пишите, чем раньше, тем лучше. :)

UPD: Поясняю, пиво пить будем. :)
UPD: Завтра (26.09.08), в 9 Pub'е (наб.р. Фонтанки, 9), в 19.00.

Значит, так. Друзья-подружки, с пятницы по воскресенье я в Питере. Желающие встретиться, да встретятся. Телефон будет работать и питерский (надеюсь), и финский. Желающие узнать номер и, по какой-то причине не зарегистрированные на facebook'е, да узнают. Желающие встретить с цветами и музыкой -- ну, вы поняли. Желающие выпить пива в П1 в пятницу вечером, отметьтесь тут.

Стоил ли переезд в Финляндию того, чтобы услышать от начальника "с сегодняшнего дня дверь в проектную комнату должна быть постоянно закрыта, потому что из-под моего носа куда-то исчез лаптоп" в терминах "хуйня" и "выебу" (нет, я работаю не на лесопилке)? Ни одного даже отдаленно похожего случая с предыдущих работ не вспоминается. Это я не риторики ради, а по причине недостатка жизненного опыта.

Keeping promises is not something I particularly enjoy if it involves me doing something that I normally wouldn't do. This time it means going to Tallinn for two days. Starting today, back on sunday evening. Bah.

Thanks to bad_opcode for my recent discovery of Hanayama's Cast Puzzles, which turned out to be a pleasant pasttime after all. Of course, given the overgrown self-esteem in me, I had to begin with one of the hardest (level 6) Cast Elk.
Here's how it looks disassembled and put back together again.
Next one is Cast News.

To be continued.
