So, I'm planning to install FreeBSD. Actually, I'm downloading the ISOness for 5.0 as I wrt this. [And my spelling has gotten even worse, due to temporary sickness!]
Totally unrelated stuff in the extended copy.
And, a poll: who do you say that you think I am?

There is a book called "The Four Agreements", which is about just that; and a bit more. One of the points it made was to do your best, no more, and no less.
Herein, I rant passionately about whatever comes to mind.
Btw, there is a poll.

Dead America (Diaries)

I'm a brilliant (by local standards) Barbadian. Barbados has its currency tied to the U.S. dollar, and is a hub for the Caribbean region. Sayings such as "Uncle Sam is dead" were fairly common here for years, and have nothing to do with "9/11".
This article is a half-rant which explains why America is largely considered a dead country by non-americans.
Disclaimer: This article is intentionally generalised and harsh. I actually have American friends (or, did, before I wrote this) but don't have any respect whatso-ever for what America as a country has become, reguardless of what the good, but non-empowered-to-change-the-country individuals may have accomplished for the Greater Good.

Changing to the release build did get rid of the tons of warnings which I mentioned in my last K5 Diary (http://www.kuro5hin.org/story/2003/1/9/5174/53410).
I have yet to try the map thingy in anger, because I decided to redesign the parser, vm, and atomic interpeter a bit based on feedback from the last diary and my experience with my current one. That, and I've been busy preparing to resume my electronics course;
looking at atomic physics, and maths. A bit about that "Higher Science" stuff below.

So, I'm having... difficulty getting the STL map thingy to work with VC++, v. 6.0. It turns out that the problem is moot in this case, vector thingies actually did a better job... However, map is kool... details in extended copy.

It seems that I've overcome the appearance of a manic depressive, without compromising on that too-many-ideas type of character that seems to lead to the mood swings, so I'm sharing.
Links about programming stuff also, and whatever I can think up before dawn.
