Pete's Log: stuff

Entry #1067, (Life in General)
(posted when I was 22 years old.)

happy birthday, route 66! Mother Road turns 75.

played some soccer with Virgil and Maig today. We mainly just kicked the ball around, but we were out there about 90 minutes until our activities were interrupted by the sprinklers around us turning on. So then we played in the sprinklers a little while.

I watched at least two episodes of The Real World today. I'm ashamed to say I kind of enjoyed watching the show. Something must be wrong with me.

I just got some spam from "Hush Communications Corporation" which opened with the following line: "Hackers/big brother/even the government are all spying on you!" ... now maybe I'm wrong, but I'd always thought "big brother" generally referred to the government. But if it doesn't, and since I don't have any actual brothers, I must ask "who is Big Brother?"

I discovered a "sleep 1" statement in my afs .logout. It's been there a long time, since I was totally accustomed to the delay when logging out. I even have suspicions as to why I put that line in there. But there's no longer a point to it. So I've removed it. Now I get confused by how quickly I get logged out.
