Last night, I made an honest attempt to be in bed before 2:00AM. While I actually made it to be before then, I laid there until 4:00AM coughing, almost like I was choking.
This morning, I woke up at 11:00AM, and my head hurts. I feel like I'm going to go back into one of the coughing fits again, but I'm trying to restrain myself from doing so.

Last night I had a weird dream. It was about an old friend, and it seems really weird that I had a dream about them. I've not even thought about them for a couple years.
Anyhow, all day I've been "feeling" the dream. It's hard to explain, other than I.. I dunno... I just feel the dream still, and I've been awake for more than 12 hours.
I just delete like 10 people from my "Buddy List".
The reason I deleted these people is because most of them never even respond when I say "Hi" or "What's up".
Tonight, I asked a yes/no question of someone, and I clearly interrupted their typing, as indicated by Gaim. Over 2 hours passed, and I never got an answer, not even an acknowledgement that I had asked the question.
To the people that read this: I don't expect an answer right away, but when I ask you a simple question, or even greet you, I at least expect something like "I can't talk right now" or "No, I don't have that answer" when you're busy. This is expected tenfold for those of you who came to me asking for help in the first place.
Pricks.
I HATE DNS!!!
Sup?
I have my entire music collection queued up in WMP10, and it plays the same ~40 songs out of ~2100 over and over and over...
My solution:
C++
class playlistItem {
public:
string m_songTitle;
int m_songLength; // In seconds
// Other member functions/variables left out for simplicity
};
int playlistLength = 0;
playlistItem myPlaylist[];
// Initialize the list here by reading the music directory //
// Also set the value of playlistLength according to the //
// number of subscripts in the array. //
// Pick a random subscript from the array //
srand(rand()); // Seed the random number generator
int playThisSong = rand() % playlistLength;
playlistItem randomSong = myPlaylist[playThisSong];
// Play the song! //
randomSong.play();

It will open up many windows of very graphic and vile pornography. Porn is one thing, but this goes beyond that.
It's been a long time since my last "Denny?" call. That screaming at them last time must've done the trick. :D
So far, I've been sick for just about 5 days straight.
Quoting an article in USA Today: Broadband rates in the USA are already among the highest in the world — $35 to $40 a month. And that's for relatively slow speeds of 1 to 2 megabits a second. In Japan, consumers pay about $15 a month for speeds of 30 megabits or better, notes Raul Katz, CEO of Adventis, a Boston-based consultancy.
Why do you think this is? Could it could be because of the politics with the telecommunication providers? Or maybe it's because of some of the local governments? Regardless, something has to be done about this, especially in the rural areas.
I'm not sure what the legalities are behind my idea, but consider it for a minute...
"Wifi" access points typically emit a signal over a rather large area. In open, rural areas, this won't be that effective, but think about it for the urban areas. I live on the edge of a subdivision that is approximately 1/2 mile2. I know that the family living in the house at the other corner on this same side has computers and the knowledge that goes along with them. If the other 2 corners are either just as equal, or willing to provide the means to set up repeaters and/or access points with network servers, this subdivision could create its own wifi-based intranet. I'm not talking about bringing the Internet into this, due to legal reasons, but it would be very easy and effective to set up some intranet sites, Jabber servers, IRC servers, and email servers. Through the use of this, our small community could provide the residents with useful information, "break out of the shell" and make some new social contacts, and possibly even strengthen the physical security by enhancing the communication of the neighborhood watch programs.
Now, consider a city broken up into 1/2 square mile sections, implementing this same sort of idea. It would essentially create a new form of the Internet.
Of course, there would be issues with the typical copyrighted material being shared, but if rules were in place and enforced, that wouldn't be all too big of an issue.
One of the primary concerns anyone will have is Internet connectivity. As I previously stated, the Internet is not a part of this. I am not trying to promote individuals illegally sharing their broadband connections, although it does give room for cities to provide a single high-speed connection, funded by local taxes.
I know, I am kinda sketchy about this, and I apologize for that. Just think about it though... No more telephone companies to hold the community hostage by high rates.

Don't worry, it's family friendly.
What don't you people understand about "I feel sick. I can't sleep. My back hurts and my head is stuffed."?
The medicine I'm taking for my allergies is keeping me up at night, and my back hurts like hell. I want to rest and work at my own pace, dammit. Let me sleep in. Let me decide whether I want to go out or not. Let me fucking relax!!!
Well, I just ordered an external 56k v.92 modem for this house. What does that mean? It means I get to set up a Linux gateway server, giving me more control over how the thing works. Also, it'll be easier to write a remote connection management application for it.
