I hate it when people don’t tag their music.

I leeched 10 volumes of Future Trance off of someone at the LAN, and not only is it not properly tagged, the tracklisting is all fucked up too, and two of the volumes were vinyl rips and just one big long MP3. (There is a special place in hell for people who don’t split up vinyl rips.)

So not only did it take me an hour and a half to actually *find* Future Trance on Discogs.org, now I have to sort each album out and make sure the right tracks are in each folder.

There is a special place in hell for people who don’t tag their music. It’s right next to people who tag their music incorrectly. (FOR FUCK’S SAKE, “GHOSTS ‘N’ STUFF” IS BY DEADMAU5 NOT FRANZ FERDINAND JFC IT’S NOT THAT HARD TO GOOGLE IT AND FIND OUT.)

Or, to be more specific, non-Australian non-reality TV shows.

Supernatural: Started airing, 8:30pm on Mondays. By season 3, had been shoved to 10:00pm on Mondays. Season 5, stopped airing. Now? Good question, because I’ve stopped trying to watch it and started saving up for DVDs instead.

LOST: By Season 3, was shoved to an 11:00pm timeslot. Had formerly been 8:30pm on Thursdays. I’m not sure if they ever aired the finale because I gave up trying to watch it by Season 4.

The Walking Dead: Has only just premiered on pay-per-view; will probably never be on free-to-view within the next decade. An entire season behind.

Revenge: An entire season behind, but at least it’s in order.

Doctor Who: About the only show on free-to-view that hasn’t been destroyed by repeats and a complete inability to show anything in the right order. Probably because it’s on ABC and it’s from the UK. Torchwood was the same.

Sherlock: At least half a season behind. But in order. At least, until they begin the repeats…

NCIS: Out of order, endless repeats. New episodes once in a blue moon. Have given up, am pirating until I can find the DVDs.

Bones: Finally airing in order, but used to be getting the endless repeats treatment. Very sure we’re behind. Again, another one for the DVD collection.

Downton Abbey: Not ruined, but I am sure we were significantly behind when it was airing.

Misfits: Axed.

And everyone wonders why I won’t watch TV. All it’s good for now is the morning weather forecast and Q&A.

I know GUIs are convenient and all but everyone should learn how to use command line anyway.

What if your GUI stops working or you’re on a system with no GUI installed or a GUI doesn’t exist for this thing you want to do?

I know it’s a pain in the ass to learn the commands for everything but you know you can write them down, right?

/end nerdy elitist rant

It applies more to Linux than Windows but TBH the Windows command-line stuff is waaaaay better than the GUI, even in 7.

Also, if you’re going to use Linux, you should learn how to write shell scripts just ‘cause. They are the best thing ever. Shell scripts is why Linux will always be better than Windows. (Well, that and security. And awesome. And free-ness.)

So…

I’m about to order like…$400 worth of makeup from Amazon.com.

And I swear, if anything comes up with the ‘sorry this item don’t ship to your country lol go fuck yourself’ bullshit,

I am going to flip a fucking table.

I am sick of Amazon’s weird-ass shipping thing.

I’m logged in, why the fuck can’t there be a thing to stop me from getting my hopes up saying ‘THIS ITEM DOES NOT SHIP TO YOUR COUNTRY’.

(I’ll be really pissed off if the Urban Decay makeup doesn’t ship. Amazon and eBay are literally my only hopes for getting any Urban Decay products because they don’t sell here and don’t ship here from their website, and Sephora don’t ship outside the US either.)
