I remember those red consoles (Rs. 3000, had gone with dad's friend to buy it) attached to TV via AV cables...then that Laser Gun (also red).

The main reason for this post is that I am playing it again...now with a NES emulator and a USB SuperNES gamepad!

Some females are so nice they make too many friends. These friends help them a lot and then, they keep making more and more friends. There will also be people romantically/sexually interested in them, and the females will obviously reject them since they do not NEED the trouble/pain/heartbreak that comes along with liking someone.

Having a lot of friends around you who do not 'expect' anything from you is so convenient. No pain/trouble/embarassment/heartbreak will exist. Infact, friendship = relationship minus the 'work' and 'expectations' that go into it. Hence, even a moderately cute female will have 100s of friends and they do not NEED one more guy in their lives.

What the fuck.

SMARTsim and sim-wattch on SuSE Linux

send me a beer if you find this useful.

Some modifications needed:

you need gcc 3.3.6 for both, ref previous post

sim-wattch:
comment out sgtty stuff in the Makefile
comment out the -lbsd printf part in sysprobe.c
in eval.c and range.c, remove 'extern int errno' and
instead write #include

all #includes related to bsd/sgtty.h comment em out

In host.h replace:

typedef unsigned long long quad_t; /* quad - 64 bits */
typedef signed long long squad_t;

with:

#define quad_t unsigned long long
#define squad_t signed long long



-------------------------------------------

smartsim:

in any .h file, insert
# ifndef CLK_TCK
# define CLK_TCK CLOCKS_PER_SEC
# endif

eval.c and range.c modifications as above

Simplescalar on SuSE 10.3

Download:

1. simplesim
2. PISA GCC compiler from here
3. fixed binutils from here

4. GCC 3.3.6 source



First, install GCC 3.3.6 by using mkdir gobj && cd gobj && ../configure --program-suffix=33 --enable-languages=c --host=i586-suse-linux --prefix=/opt/gcc33 && make && make install

Then, whenever you want to compile simplesim or anything above, just use CC=/opt/gcc33/bin/gcc33 and code will compile cleanly.

An older version of flex (2.5.4) is required else weird input_buffer errors crop up.

Poem without rhyme or reason

I like someone now
Who does not like being liked, I guess
Mornings spent being completely smitten
Evenings spent dreaming with Death-Doom
I tell her I'm smitten
She tells me to. get. over. it.

I say, Why that's the least you could do!
For you have nothing to lose!
And if anything does NOT happen
I'll be the one hurt, and not you!

Sigh.

I dream and I fantasize....and all they say is:

"Stop thinking of me! I'm sure there will be girls who will be more worthy of this!"


Why don't they think that THEY are worthy of it, if at all it is worth something? Cushioning the blow? Fobbing off with a flourish?
