I can just imagine how, say, a mountain climber must laugh at the crap that a movie character pulls in a movie like Vertical Limit, or how a real crime scene investigator gets annoyed with liberties taken in something like CSI. — I’m not a crime scene investigator, so the kind of things that would annoy a real csi would simply make me say “Cool”.
Which brings me to my point: I have an HP Deskjet 5550 color printer, and I have never once heard it make any noises like a dot matrix printer. No surprise there, the technology is worlds apart — And it’s virtually silent too! Now what really gets my goat, is that in the CSI:Miami lab, they have exactly the same printer that I have, yet the fuckin’ thing always sounds like a dot matrix printer when it ejects a page! It drives me fucking nuts! I’d like to smack that foley artist right upside the head.
I friggin’ hate upgrading the blog. Damn be-hatch takes awhile. Considering I have to ‘diff -br’ the live site with the new files to see what I need to replace. It’s not a straight forward process, unfortunately, since I have all sorts of anti-spam crap hooked into some of the files — Which seems to be pretty effective, by the way.
I’ve installed the new Spam Karma 2 beta for spam handling - It seems to be quite different to the old version. — Hopefully it works as well. 
But… as usual, there are problems. Seems the server is missing curl, which is needed by SK2 for some mumbo jumbo… and it’s been a bitch installing it. It never rains. It pours.
Typically, there is no php-curl package in th main OS install repository. Weird how there’s source for it in the php-devel package, now isn’t it. At least some bright spark thought to add it to the contrib repo. Had the same problem with php-xml come to think of it. Another reason why I’ve tossed this friggin’ distro.
