No, you're not. At least, not in my book. I may have posted here before, but here's my link

Since I did this, I've removed the waste basket and replaced the keyboard name with a graphic indicator.

Hm. That's a good idea. I may have to work on my gimp-fu and see if I can pull it off.

Last night I was messing with my mobile phone's camera features, and took a pic of this rather awesome looking fire in the ashtray, with my mobile phone's camera colour setting to 'agua'. I rather like how the picture came out, looks as if I am involved into the occult or something. Actually I was merely trying to call Bob, he hasn't answered yet.

Plus this seems appropriate since Halloween is just around the corner.

And in honour of Metallica's Birthday, playing Master of Puppets in the background! \m/ \m/.

I couldn't help myself. After stumbling into the lua Ring Meters for conky, I just had to re-do conky.

Sorry, forgot to do it in the original post. There are two files you need, conkyrc for obvious reasons, and Meterlua.lua, which is the actual code from londonali. You just have to be sure that the lua_load variable in conkyrc points to Meterlua.lua.

When I click that Firefox says that the connection is insecure and I probably shouldn't continue.

Yes, make the exception. I don't trust these "companies" to sign my certificates, just to let you know that my stuff is secure. I took the time to make it secure, trust me. But it's alright though, it is my personal server. Don't worry guys....
