Underachievement Unlocked

My life: a lot of potential and very little realization.

Very few posts on this blog, as well. But you might find some entertaining stuff if you go back a few years in the archives.

31 aug. 2004

Against all odds, these are petty good.

 

30 aug.

I suppose I should announce it here for aggregator readers: I added a tagboard on the home page…

So as to clean up the site menu a bit, the “cams” option now pops up all three cams at once (tvcam, screencam, smallvillecam). From there you can click one of the images to display it alone.

 

It’s been hard, but I think my tvcam finally works fine on Linux…

I’d like to fart. Do you fart?…

Looks like when I finally resigned myself to living in Smallville with no car, no social life, no sex and no afterthoughts, I may have gotten rid of my creative block. I’m unstoppable! Until tomorrow.

 

Now that’s weird. My feet have become an erogen zone overnight, a few months ago…

The naiveness of mentally retarded country people is touching…

Uninteresting stuff that was lingering in my phone…

Hallelujah! Mister Water has come and found which valve wasn’t open properly, and now we have normal water pressure!

 

I can’t get used to it: on the Canalsatellite remote, the on/off switch is at the exact opposite from its standard location…

www.garoo.net — version 1869.0

Online, one day late. That’ll teach me to start coding a revolutionary layout at 11pm…

Reprogrammed the window system because it didn’t work with some Internet Explorer versions — but I don’t know if that version will work better, because IE reacts oddly. Shift-reload when in doubt, and report bugs here.

 

22 aug.

Empty car park, empty streets, nice August Sunday, everybody but me is at the beach.

 

Bug fixed. I had forgotten to add a slash after I moved some scripts around.

 

I wonder if I shouldn’t give up the whole buying a car idea, and come back to the monastic cell concept. Considering how every car opportunity ended up a failure, maybe that’s really my destiny.

 

With 150 TV channels…

Why are bass players always so cute?
Is it so easy to play the bass well that you can afford to make a physical selection?

 

Let’s play a game, ok? So, let’s say, when you don’t understand an article that’s meant to be subtle, you don’t post comments to show how much you’re lost. Because it’s really discouraging. I already don’t write much about personal stuff…

 

Pour la première fois que je regarde 93, Faubourg Saint-Honoré, je tombe bien. Sans surprise, il parle peu.
Et, merde, il vient d’avoir 28 ans.

 

I’m late! I’m late! Damnit, days go by too fast, I’ve got work I’m late with, I have no car, no sex, no life, no future!

 

20 aug.

Power outage. Twice. And I’m surprised my computer has trouble booting up. Normandy is killing my computer slowly. As part of its plan to kill me slowly.

 

GarooSync 0.2. Bug fixes and directory support (for uploading only — the FTP library doesn’t support directory download). You shouldn’t need ctrl-alt-del anymore to get rid of a hanging instance.

 

Ah, my first car… (No, really.)

 

19 aug.

Because I’m bored and I don’t know what to do.

If my other webcam wasn’t broken, I’d even add a bedroom view. Yes, that’s how desperate I am right now.

 

I don’t go out before the movie ends. I don’t go out before the movie ends. I don’t go out before the movie ends. Even when it’s that boring.
But that’s a crappy reason to live.

 

18 aug.

Come on, really… When you’re lucky enough to be gay and have all those opportunities, why spoil it all, miss it all, and settle down with only one person? It’s stupid. In fact it’s just as well that nobody really deserves me. Now to leave Smallville…

 

17 aug.

Oops. Note for those would didn’t notice: when I reply to a comment, the comments counter isn’t incremeted. So, until I fix the bug, now you know.

 

I’m late! I’m late! It’s already August fucking 17th! I’m late! I’m late!

 

I want to go back to the time when I quietly played dolls with my miniature cars and didn’t have anything to worry about.

 

15 aug.

I never imagined it was so pleasant to be lying on an elevated bed. (Except for the motion sickness.)

 

State of the bedroom

Ever noticed that “bedroom” is the anagram of “boredom”? (Yeah, I’m sure you did, but English is a second language for me, okay?)

 

Right. Whatever.

 

Et dire qu’au Perreux je n’arrivais même pas à capter Radio FG correctement…

Naked gays in a jacuzzi on MTV. They really want to kill me. (And I screwed up the video captures.)

Rrrrrr. Why am I not on the beach?!

 

It’s good to be home!”…

Arghhh. How many hours do I have to add to that damn schedule in order to watch Daria in English?

 

When I grow up, I’ll learn signs language so I don’t have to speak in the morning. (I always wanted to learn signs language anyway.)

 

8 aug.

It’s raining. And my TV’s not working, at all, because it’s raining. How can people stand that? TV is precisely made to keep you busy when the weather’s bad!

 

Chaise Conforama à 35 €.

 

C’est bon comme des Tic Tac à l’orange, mais meilleur.

 

Against all odds I found a boy in (or within moped range of) Smallville. As per the odds, I broke up after two days. I will indeed stay single as long as I’m here.

Pff. And I’m paying a fortune for this.

Argh, couldn’t those cheapskate add multilanguage support to MTV?

 

Smallville, one piece after another: Town Office, on Main Street.

There it is, my TV works perfectly.

2 aug.

Ah, I should finally have TV again. Not a minute too soon.

 

1 aug.

The Smallvillecam is online (up there in the menu); uploading seems a bit erratic now, but it’ll certainly be fixed soon enough.

 

You get used to anything.

 

There’s always something happening in Smallville. (In summer.)

 

I’m making big efforts to try and remember that I already didn’t meet anyone in gay chatrooms even when there were more than five people online from my area.
