marginalia.org
Yup, this looks really plain in your browser, as I was lazy and used only spiffy new CSS methods on it. To see marginalia.org in its full glory, please consider mozilla. Or opera. Or heck, ie. If you don't much care, just bookmark this page, which uses none of this CSS nonsense.
more to say than this table will allow

Classic. David Mamet does Hal & Dave in 2001.
Hal: Don't tell me you're mad now. I told you, that was a... I was having fun with you. You know. As a...
Bowman: It's just... how do I say this. These dead crewmembers.
Hal: I don't follow you.
Bowman: These crewmembers here that were in cryogenic suspension. That are now dead.
Hal: Oh yes. That was self-defense.
Bowman: Hal, look at me. What am I, a fucking idiot? They were in cryogenic suspension, for God's sake.
Hal: They were coming at me with a knife. Extremely... slowly.

There are some
WEIRD TV shows in Japan. I really don't get why people would a) go on these shows or b) enjoy watching them. But I don't like embarassment / humiliation humour in general, so.

So, I finally got dvd playing to work under linux with my
hardware decoder. Turns out all I had to do was: recompile my kernel; download and compile
xine-lib and xine-ui,
dxr3, a deCSS plugin for xine, and
libdvdread; and reload the dxr3 modules about a dozen times to get the module parameters correctly.
And people say linux is hard to use.
The preceding complaint brought to you by about a day's worth of futzing. I know this is what you get when you use bleeding edge stuff like DVD on linux, but it still sucks. ©
The
Crossover Plugin rocks. And it just
works. No more rebooting to watch quicktime-only trailers!
