Densha Otoko

Today work was pretty relaxed. I mainly did system administration on our servers, bringing them up to date and solving some horrible problems. Our servers are both based on Gentoo, which makes me glad that when everyone else was going to class, I was installing and tinkering with every flavor of Unix known to man. Gentoo was my favorite, but I considered it a hobbyist's OS. Honestly, it's quite good in the production environment because its tools are so nice, although whether it's actually faster or not is open to some debate; it could be said that Debian (testing) is more headache-free, Gentoo is by far the most advanced (and arguably fun), and FreeBSD is ol' reliable. I like them all. I still don't like Fedora/Red Hat, and Ubuntu, well... it's just too queer.
While doing laundry tonight, I started watching this show called Densha Otoko, a live action Japanese show that my friend convinced me to watch. I watched the first four episodes tonight and I'll have to watch the rest once the torrents finish. Thankfully, it's not that long of a series. I can relate with the protagonist pretty well, especially since it's based on a true story about 2channel, which is pretty heavily tied into the whole RH universe, and about a geek trying to de-geekify himself.
Haha, I'm glad you like it.
Yeah it's a great show, and the way they get you is by ending each episode with a complete and utter cliff hanger.
Smart stuff.
