Monkat's Time Off Is Nice

Third day off in a row.

I haven't had this since ... I got my job.

Granted, one of those days was five hours of class, but still.

Just kinda derped the whole day. Decided to wipe my laptop and install Fedora. Previously, I was running Kubuntu, but the thing is so damn buggy, really. I've been meaning to do this for a while actually, it's just that Ubuntu comes packed with broadcom-wl, whereas Fedora doesn't even have it in the official repos. Which, of course, creates a few problems. Luckily, I can tether my phone, so problem solved.

Also, I've decided that I'm going to try and wean off using the closed-protocol that Skype uses. I'll still be on Skype for a while, but if anyone wants to talk to me, you'll always be able to reach me at [email protected]. That's compatible with any XMPP IM Messenger. (Jabber, Google Talk, I believe Yahoo also uses it now). For voice chat, I'm also considering using Ekiga. There is a Windows client, and a few OS/X clients also support the protocol.

We'll see.

In other news, my everything is sore. I went to the gym yesterday, for the first time since like....December, and wow. I can't sit up without using my arms.

So yeah. There you go.

Penis. I think I'm going to add "Monkat" to the title of all of my blogs from now on.

I'm thinking your just not use to working out in a while. Maybe after a while of going to the gym, the soreness may go away.

Edit: Couple of typos.

Yeah, it should, after a bit. Or I'll get redesensitized to it, anyway.

I'm not worried about it, it's just a pain xD!

It may take awile for some members to adjust to that those new protocols but considering I already
have pidgin it may not be all that difficult. As for ekiga well from my understanding it looks like a
type of SIP client which is quite an open standard.

The person who will probably have the most difficult time to transition is ifish ( hope he wont hear me)
considering he always uses skype on his ipad for the podcast but it may be a creative way to
get him to not join the podcast

Well thats just how I am.

I have a tendency to just appear out of nowhere like that
 
It's weird. After all this time off...

I have to go back to work today. And somehow...I don't feel bad about going.

I normally dread going to work, even though my job is so easy, but I suddenly feel like "Meh, may as well." I haven't felt like this in a long time.
 
That's the same way I feel. I get so bored sometimes, there is a permanent face shaped indention on my bed. Then its a relief to get back to the grind.
