A hipster, suffering from blackouts and hallucinations, .. aww fuck it, I can’t watch this garbage.

I hate the style and want to slap the shit out of the actors stupid faces, and if there’s a plot I’m sure I wouldn’t like it.

Trailer
Inspired by Scott Pilgrim – (2004 comic books), by Bryan Lee O’Malley

- The existing BatchGotAdmin broke recently, that website hasn’t been updated in years, and I see no way to contact its author, so I did some research and added the new solution.
Andromeda – (2000 show)
- Watched a little more. Added notes.

Like a good Linux window manager, allSnap allows Windows’ applications to snap to the main screen area or to one-another.

That is, when dragging or resizing a window, it will try to cling to a nearby window. This makes it easier and faster to adjust windows “just right”.

Works on 32 and 64-bit Windows.
Run both the 32 bit and 64 bit versions to cover all applications.

A brainwashed daughter and her manipulative mother practice a con to satisfy their hypergamy, but love gets in the way.

Mediocre, but worth a watch if you’re fairly interested. It has some moments, but it’s got a kind of campy attitude. While it has a plot, it hand-waves plot-critical character decisions. For me, this wasn’t even a bubblegum-movie. It hurt my brain to sit through it, and only the blistering hotness of Jennifer Love Hewitt could keep me interested.

Mercurial
- Created this, which prompted the update of Subversion and Git and the creation of the revision control systems tag.
Windows 7
- Created this for any old and random notes that I don’t know if, and don’t care to learn if, they work on Windows 10 (which I currently use).
- Updated Windows and the various Windows distributions. I’m beginning to add various tips and tricks from my offline scripts into those pages.
I have an annoying amount of windows software to make pages for.
- At least it’s now mostly organized in my filesystem.
