A string of thoughtful events...
Issue 1:
Could not connect: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (111)
What's that? MySQL server...socket bla bla bla..hmm... Right. Maybe that's why the Internet is so laggy. Let's not put all the blame on streamyx again and give them the benefit of the doubt. Let's see what actually happens next.
Issue 2:
External keyboards. Keyboards. Mouse. Computer equiptment. Hardware. They are all the same. Quality control. I learned the hard way why keyboards can cause tardif diskenesia. No, i did not get the syndrom, but i got a freaking aching hand because i just tried (literally) to play o2Mania on my laptop with a RM 19.90 external keyboard that i just, so fortunately, bought an hour ago.
Now i see why i wanted to buy a laptop that costs RM7000 and intend to make it last me for around 20 years. Of course, my out-dated and always cheaper-the-better of a dad's not convinced that such a laptop can be bought. Oh hell, he doesn't even know crap about computing. Note: he still thinks that processor speed is everything that makes a computer run good. He's still in the SPEED rules era, while computers have passed that stage and are no longer within the "quantity for quality" motto, but instead they've changed their strategies. The recent trend in computing is going for quality, efficiency, ergonomics and not eye-blazing speed.
If you intend to buy a new laptop, i seriously suggest you get a core2duo with 4 MB L2 Catch, 512 MB GeForce FX series, 1 GB ram and 80-100 GB HD. It will last you a very, very, very long time. Oh yeah, don't forget 1 Ghz FSB. Since i'd already planned to get a laptop of those specs, i should've remembered that quality is always better than quantity. i think i must've gotten a Freudian slip when i bought that keyboard. Or maybe it's just out of impulse. Sheesh i think i need a stress buster outing soon. I want to watch PIRATES OF THE CARRIBEAN! GIMme JACK SPARROW! gimme!!!!! no, i am not gay...
Fine, i'm going to be saving up around RM200-300 to get a good quality external keyboard. There goes my I-Pod i was saving for, but what the heck. A laptop and a external keyboard will keep me busy for ages on end. So, i wouldn't have to worry about having a lacking of music.
Issue 3:
The man from the moon
set foot on the earth
as a shadow that lingered
around the day
and took form only
in the depths of the night
the moonshine lit his path
shining down like a beaming ray
and from a distance
there was a stare
there's someone out there
with such enchanting glare
and on that lonely night
there rose some hope
of having company
but it was woe to dream
for it was a world apart
and to her, he was merely a dream
a shadow in the day
and a phantom in the night
a man on the moon
that came down in the night...
