Spooginary Position is when you just deal with the way other people make money without having an opinion on it.
The original context for this word is from restaurant culture. Spooge is the name for the bloated nasty soapy-water soaken pieces of food and other restaurant ingredients that can be seen after the restaurant closes.
There is a commercial on the television right now in which a persona of a Windows computer is bragging about having a calculator. This is a screenshot of my calculator.
I don't feel so badly about this. My goal was to build a minimum of software to get as much very productive and picky software working properly as possible. First everything between bash/x11 and gtk+. My idea became to install what ever x11 files were needed myself, leaving Debian to run the display and whatever software I build to use my files to work with. GIMP with GAP and the python interpreter, xscreensaver with gl, mplayer and I couldn't stand it with twm any longer and broke down and installed everything that I needed from xfce4 from xfwm backwards and then from xfwm4 forward to the panel and a working menu-editor. The goal here is to get a screenshot with everyone who is here in this one and mplayer playing Elephants Dream right after I repartition a harddrive and move the movie to its home.
I messed up in the middle of the mesa gl stuff trying to make my own xscreensaver. I have all sorts of debian '-dev' binaries now. I am trying to put together my notes to see where I failed.
It's interesting to see what icons every application brings with it.

Unencumbered with a desktop environment and with only twm interfering with me and GIMP, I set up what I thought was a nice classic GIMP layout which keeps the spirit of gimp-1.0 and gimp-1.2 yet adds some of the nice things that are not so easy to find in gimp2.

I was unable to install planet today because I did not have bunzip2 or even libbz2. I was also unable to work with pyblosxom on my new computer because I do not have enough c++ compiler. What I do have is a bunch of screenshots that are at least funny (i broke down and changed the color of twm because I couldn't stand it any longer). I am working right now with most of the software that had been available to me in 1998. Installing things slowly and looking at it while you are installing it -- it really starts to read like a beaten up path through a really nice native land, or something.
