NOOOOOOOOO!

Just back from B-Movie. A TRAGEDY OCCURED - the camera gave a 'COMPACT FLASH ERROR'. Nooo!

marnameow has multiple CF readers, so we will see about recoverability. (It's FAT16 and every file is a JPEG, so if all else fails we can read the whole thing in as binary and look for headers.) But if I've lost all the wonderful shots from this evening, PLEASE FORGIVE ME!

cyberneph and damerell crashing. Just call us the Home for Stray B-Movie Waifs. It was, of course, a fantastic night as usual, and we had the Best Time Ever. More detail when I am coherent.

Open source just can't compare to the quality fit and finish of proprietary applications.

[19:48:29] >Diva< vertical market software. doesn't need to do mundane things like, ooh, reread its config file on a -HUP like everything else in the world.
[19:48:41] [leeann] ick
[19:48:48] >Diva< no, you need to go into the graphical control app and press *this* button. fuck knows what it sends to the daemon.
[19:49:04] [leeann] truss is your friend
[19:49:17] >Diva< no, it would just tell me things man was not meant to know.
[19:49:27] [leeann] and your point is?
[19:49:33] >Diva< just whining :-)
[19:49:44] [leeann] poor dear
[19:49:53] * leeann hands you the stapler
[19:49:55] >Diva< I should rant about it in a livejournal post, I haven't written any decent work whines lately

Most annoying thing at work yesterday: back into NOTHING TO DO mode, from about eleven (I get in at ten) until six. Except showing a user how to use the Solaris file picker around two. But could I leave, to meet cyberneph off the train, and so get home earlier and out to B-Movie earlier? Bah.
