Fun stuff « Nico’s notepad

Two DJ’s from a Montreal radio station prank called Vice President Sarah Palin pretending they were French president Sarkozy. Well she totally fell for it until even after they mentionned “Nailin’ Paylin”!

Here’s the vid, enjoy!

Oh yeah, and vote Obama. That was one more reason to do so.

Best halloween ever!

1 11 2008

Hugo kept telling I HAD to blog about this. He was drunk, but he was right, I’m blogging about this halloween!

Thankfully this year it fell on a friday so we had all night free to party and have fun. Fred organized a party at his house (so did Frank, but I didn’t master mitosis yet so I just couldn’t go, sorry). Fortunately enough, Hugo is 18 so we got more beer than we needed (or so we tought) to party hard. And that’s exactly what we did!

I expected something relatively calm and slow and I was wrong. People kept coming in and out, taking a few beers here and there and taking a leak between each of them. I met some old friends, made some new ones like Nick, Nick, Fred and Fred, who all happen to have the same name, among others.

I tried my best to take some pictures but it looks like I’ll have to get Nadia (who was sober) to get better pictures to post. Anyway, here they are, for what they’re worth.

Hugo, my awesome friend

Not pictured above: partying.

Us, at some point in the night, having fun

Heheheh

Anthony, who turned out to be an awesome guy

Not pictured above: his mad guitar skills

And then the girls, whose names I still remember (or at least the face). You were all awesome, even if I could never remember when we met!

Some post-party pics:

You bet! Best night ever, friend

And you rock too!

I found this post envelope lying around while waiting for Ubuntu to load on my old-ass computer.

Boot time: 1.6Ghz Dual Core with Vista vs. 300Mhz P3 with Ubuntu

25 10 2008

I just got Ubuntu on my old 300mhz, 256mb RAM computer and decided to see what was the difference in boot time between this and my 1.6ghz Dual Core, 2gb RAM laptop.

I pressed the power button on my laptop 5 seconds after I did on my old desktop PC and waited. I expected Vista to beat Ubuntu by a minute because of the huge difference between the two computers, and I was wrong.

Vista obviously had updates to install before booting because at always have damn updates that asks you to boot every 10 freakin’ minutes with no “Shut the fuck up” checkbox. Then Vista got to the login screen where I quickly entered my password while Ubuntu was still loading.

However I decided to wait until both hard drives go idle. Well it turns out Vista never gives your HDD a rest but I’d say it was done loading completely AFTER the Linux computer was completely idle.

This computer ran slowly on Windows 2000 and it can challenge Vista at boot time without biting the dust. Also the installation of Ubuntu took 10 minutes of setup and about 45 minutes of waiting. Everything worked out of the box and I got all the applications I need including a complete office suite without paying a dime.

I think you get the message: Get Ubuntu, NOW!
