Ahh, seems like I've been tagged by the über-evil [livejournal.com profile] grimmwire with a meme!

Five of my guilty pleasures? I used to guilt a lot about a lot of things, but few of those were pleasurable. I try not to guilt much, and if someone tries to guilt me about something I find gives me pleasure, I will be quick to give them the finger. But there's got to be some things, isn't there?
  1. Using super-nifty tricks in my code to needlessly improve performance. When was the last time you used sendfile? I wrote my own "faster" version of cat with it!
  2. Teenage movies. I like Empire Records, all right? Now, shut up.
  3. Sex. I stumble all the time, I don't really feel like I'm much good at it (I'm certainly adequate, but that's about it), nor am I really fancy at it, but I like it. Lots of people tell me I should feel guilty about it, so I figure it ought to be in that list.
  4. Driving. Not only am I helping destroy the environment for the children I'm not planning to have, but it sometimes look like I'm trying to take out a few of my contemporaries in the process sometimes (that part isn't really true).
  5. Those things I do all the time but that [livejournal.com profile] azrhey keeps telling me that you can't do. Check it out, I'm doing them! HAHAHA! I suppose I'm supposed to feel guilty about that too, right?
But all evil that you might be, [livejournal.com profile] grimmwire, I shall stop the madness and not tag anyone!

Who said there is anything wrong with Empire Records?


Ohh, and may Innoruuk bless the folks like you, who make software which I need sometimes. I even get the inspiration to code something like that, then after the initial rush and a little bit of coding I always look around, find the piece I need (there is something written for everything out there already), download it, delete my primitive prototype and then I can go back play games again.

What, versions of cat that use sendfile to avoid a copy?

I was talking about software in general, but you never know, one day I might need a version of cat just like that one.

Thank the stars *someone* had the strength to halt this proliferating horror!

(And I'm only evil because I'm controlled by evil memes :)

So you're some kind of evil pawn?
