Ubuntu Linux

I first heard of Ubuntu Linux on Neowin, where someone posted about a company that was shipping free Linux CDs from a distro called “Ubuntu”. What an odd name for a Linux distro, I thought, but I like free things. So I ordered some. Some? Not just one? Well, when I ordered, they only shipped in packs of 15, because they come from Switzerland and airmail was way more expensive than the CDs themselves. So I got, eh, 30. I’ve been giving them out to people in my CS class… go evangelism!

Worship Satan

It started off “innocently”, or rather, unobtrusively enough. A few signs appeared.

Sorcerers, shamans, mages, witches, druids, and occultists of all persuasions! I need signatures of those who would be interested in forming a group dedicated to the occult! For more information contact *** or come by Room 262 in Cate 5 (Honors)

Wow. Creepy, but eh. Leave me alone and I’ll ignore it. But then somebody started taking down the signs :D and I guess Mr. Satanist got annoyed.

To whoever is taking down these signs, knock it off!!

Yet they kept disappearing. Then we got them UNDER THE DOOR. That is pushing it, I don’t want occultism crap shoved under my door.

S.P.A.R.– Students Practicing Alternate Religions
Please stop by room 262 to sign a petition to make S.P.A.R. an official campus group…

I came out hopping mad, ready to tell whoever it was off… but no one there. He moves fast.

Now the Cate Bible Study is starting up again, so there are lots of signs posted: “Worship God, 3 p.m. Saturdays”. Mysteriously, right next to those signs appear:

Worship Satan
Meetings 9 p.m. Saturdays in the field behind xxx Building. Must bring your own small livestock and $25 purification fee.

*I* took that one down. It was just too freaky :/

IdioPoll 1.1, yes it’s coming

Got a very kind note today from someone who had installed IdioPoll, so I’ll definitely have to dedicate some time to fixing up that thing soon. It’s quite dated code so it will take me a bit of time to slip back into using… but this user gave me some good ideas, plus I have a few of my own.

Some of the most important changes in beta 2:

  • Multiple-script friendly. IdioPoll creates its own database link rather than reusing.
  • That annoying blank poll choice. I have no clue what causes this but I think I’ve tweaked it enough to keep it from doing anything bad.
  • Code cleanup. Now with 54.8% more whitespace!
  • New features coming: TestMode (doesn’t set a cookie when voting), better layout for previous polls section, call specific polls at certain areas of the site, and more

After all, this is enough to keep me going :)
