When dealing with desktop Linux, there are no more butterflies in my stomach.

Well, St Patrick's Day is a Christian festival day for Irish people.

Nonetheless, the holiday's tradition of alcohol consumption, or guzzling, seems to have become stronger over recent times.

Don't be the tail that wags the dog. Stay out of harm's way.

Peace and solitude is much harder to come by in China than in Canada, I suppose.

Personally I like the sprightliness of vegetable dishes in Chinese cuisine.

Lame startup founders are worse than armchair ones.

However, shoddy startup products are better than vicarious ones.

There are multiple bud leaves on the potted plant.

I used to hear a lot of traffic hullabaloo in China.

But not in Canada.

Now, sadly, I cannot shake off the stereotype, which I have formed over the years, that Canadian grocery chain stores mostly provide fattening foods and drinks.

And, more sadly, way too many Canadians devour the former and guzzle the latter.

It's a monumental tragedy in the making.

Many open-source software applications are not tried and true.

It seems that the increasingly expensive university education is not sustainable fiscally, as well as in terms of the mammoth amount of precious time that students have to spend on it.

Maybe a naturally retentive memory is a myth.

Maybe deep understanding is what's really behind the scene.

There are vicarious eaters who like reading foodies' columns.

And there is even vicarious menstruation.

Well, 'vicarious' is an intriguing word in English.

Well, animatronics such the "My Real Baby" made by iRobot would feel creepy, at least a little bit, I imagine.

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IRobot .

IMHO, mainstream Canadian beers don't hold a candle to their Japanese counterparts.

Personally I take special care of my main desktop environments and operating systems.

Between KDE Plasma and GNOME, I just feel kind of impartial right now.

The makeover which was brought by KDE Plasma 5 has been such an eye candy which wows me. But it just dismisses many of my old keyboard shortcuts habits which I've carried from Microsoft Windows and the Cinnamon desktop environment.

The curtain was kept billowing in the snow breeze by the open door.

I tried keying on an antique Smith Corona typewriter yesterday.

It's a nice inputting experience.

My toddler daughter has got some teeny weeny natural rat-tail hair.

In fundamental Cryptography such as the basic parts of GnuPG, decrypting seems to be the most trivial part.

Rudolf Steiner stressed that children should just frolic without being restrained to actual academic study, if you like, during their first six years after birth.

It appears that people are installing the seminal Ubuntu operating system on all sorts of emeging personal computing devices.

Ah, Ubuntu/GNU/Linux, so to speak.

The revelation that some restaurants just serve their customers factory-prepared foods left my opinions of restaurants many notches down.

Sadly, Toshiba and Samsung laptops are not sold at Best Buy Montreal any more.

Personally I dismiss conlanging as a waste of time.

I'd rather expend my precious time on acquiring real-world languages such as French, or Japanese. Or Javascript, so to speak. :-)

It appeared that Hive Reader, an online RSS reader which had been promised by some developer, is just a piece of vaporware.

My yearning to have my own stable and nearly truly all-around Linux PC came to fruition around one year ago.

A mangled generation in North America.

Young men as well as young women of distrust.

J-pop is mysterious and intriguing.

I didn't use to like pasta. However, I've had a change of heart.

Nearly every software guy is a man of parts.

Every one of J's days is greatly truncated by raising his kid.

It appears that on average, Canadians dress themselves in many subtle ways, whereas mainland Chinese didn't use to.

E. G. needled me briefly when I mentioned "artsy films".

The chances of success of businesses managed by young people without the aid of mature hands are infinitesimally small, typically.

It seems that Valentine's Day has got only some sentimental value, thanks to consumerism.

And, the particular modern Western secular tradition makes many people unnecessarily poignant. Isn't it so?

IMHO, the inherent human greed induced capitalism, and then the latter exacerbated the former.

I'm still a bit confused by the thing of duvet or comforter.

Tisane, aka herbal tea, seems to be a complicated sort of drink.

I like vermicelli.

It's a super-duper sort of pasta and noodle. Is it noodle?

The word 'lusty' is so easy to be confused with 'lustful'.

The world loads nearly everyone of us with a lot of information, almost compulsorily.

Besides, nearly everyone of us streams or downloads a lot of videos and audio clips.

That's a lot of traffic on the internet altogether.

It seems that many female pop singers take advantage of suggestive dancing movements to engage, stimulate, and mesmerize the audience.

Well, do you think that's sad or something?

Crypto with GnuPG is very popular.

What money can buy exhilarates people, normally.

'^' is called the caret symbol.

Linux is gripping.

But many Linux applications are not.

Chillax, slow is cool.

I for one hope that slow medicine, as well as slow parenting, will take over.

My LG Nexus 5 phone faceplanted on the floor the other week.

Thanks to the rugged Ballistic brand phone case, the phone screen remained intact. That's called hardware investment.

J has been pensive in his private moments.

Well, personally I wouldn't say that blogosphere is the most powerful, but I would say that the RSS sphere, so to speak, is.

My laptop's optical drive seems to be not capable to play the Blu-ray thingummy.

Well, I guess I'll shop around for a new one next year.

Stuffocation causes people stress from time to time, it seems.

Uncontrolled consumerism boosts greed among people's hearts. Isn't that right?

This website, stuffocation.org , urges you to de-stuffocate your life and your home.

That action made by the woman was the single clincher. Final. Period.

Short video - A Beach Bot creating sandscape

Do those omnipresent emblazoned baseball caps embezzle our attention away from the wearers' faces?

There's a 'tomcat'. And there's a 'bobcat'.

There's a 'tomboy'. But there's no such a word as 'bobboy'.

Organic agriculture and horticulture seem to be growing in importance in this particular era.

Workers and employers are often at odds with each other on their standpoints, obviously.

Let's all hope that China's humongous economy is not going to become a debacle, seriously.

I for one have grown increasingly concerned.

The root cause is its distorted capital allocation schemes system, I suppose.

Compared to desktop Linux skills, desktop Windows skills have become menial, or easy, if you like.

Will people grow a bit vehement against Google Inc.?

Security loopholes of popular open source software pieces get fixed more quickly than their closed source counterparts, supposedly.

The momentum of Linux Mint cannot be ignored.

Well, chivalrous behavior almost died out in Canada.

Who are the culprits?

I have to take my life on the chin.

Home is not only for downtime.

For instance, am I myself a home-grown English language geek?

The sales gimmick of offering free publications degrades printing material a lot.

Being rude to people won't get one anywhere.

Man, nowadays so many young people simply abjure computing devices that are not made by Apple Inc.

On the other hand, is Apple sheerly a consumer computing Goliath?

Garble passwords and foil potential crackers.

Personally I think 'segue' to be a euphonious word.

A yummy meal makes you feel satisfied and chilled-out.

"Global" "variable". It sounds nice, huh?

I endeavor to acquire knowledge and know-how.

That's my life.

Pinocchio is an Italian name, indeed.

I don't know how all those many young Canadian students, who are quite used to expending their time in designer coffee houses, will develop their own sense of parsimony.

Sometimes we have to abide ignorance.

Those forms used by Canadian governments are neat with perforated lines.

How I wish the computer peripherals companies act in concert with Linux, in place of Windows.

Let's hope that China's real estate segment won't be an unmitigated disaster.

You see dogs sniff here and there.

They are smart creatures.

Females clamor for glamor, on Facebook, Pinterest, and so on.

Chillax, I'm better off without watching or reading news about the latest various crises across the world.

Chromebook vs. Windows laptop may look like a David and Goliath comparison.

But the former has got significant potential to eventually win over the latter and dominate personal desktop computing for the mass, down the road.

The command-line in desktop Linux easily segues into its counterpart in server Linux.

Ah, the patience of Job.

Well, 'cosplay' is such a new word in English that it didn't appear in major English dictionaries published in 2004 which I own.

While many small restaurants are jostling for survival, they should go the handmade foodstuff route.

Cooperative individuals are valuable.

You, as a boy or man, build, adjust, and titivate your hair style in front of the mirror.

That's your necessary grain of vanity.

Many Girls merely use their swanky Macbooks to view pics and flicks mostly, it seems.

The last name part of Mr. Desmond Tutu, 'Tutu', has nothing to do with the tutu worn by ballerinas at all.

According to http://www.ourbabynamer.com/meaning-of-Tutu.html , the name Tutu is of African origin and its meaning is 'cliff dweller'.

"管弦燁煜"。

'Drunk', 'befuddled', 'intoxicated', ...

There are so many words to describe drunkenness in English.

Freedom comes with prices for individuals. So be circumspect.

Don't view pics and videos of glamor models and sexpots too much.

Stay out of harm's way.

Is there usually more altruism in puppy love than in adult love?

What's the point of clamoring for a newer Android phone every two years?

Ah, the toxic consumeristic culture in North America.
