  • Running through the entire run of the new generation Dr.Who seasons. Watched Father's Day from Season 1 last night. Great ep. #

Li Wrath de Khan (AWESOME)

I am a simple machine

I was thinking about this the other day… what kind of person am I?

Everyone fancies themselves to be this deep pool of intellectual being, full of furiously battling elements; a deep maelstrom of human behavior and emotion.

I don’t think this applies to me. I am just a simple thing. My mind operates under a logical set of conditions bound within a sack of meat that causes more hassle than it is sometimes worth. That is what I am.

A simple thing that loves his kids, his wife, and spends most of his time daydreaming.

I am not aloof, I am not ignoring you. I am just not “here” most of the time.

I am off enjoying the imagination that died for the rest of you when you hit puberty.

Ha.

  • "I don't know if I ever wanted greatness, on its own. It seems rather like wantingto be an engineer, rather than wanting to design…" #
  • "..Or wanting to be a writer, rather than wanting to write.It should be a byproduct.Not a thing in itself. Otherwise, its just an ego trip." #
  • – from Roger Zelazny, Prince of Chaos. #

  • Bandwidth saturation kills snmp. Hundreds of alerts generated by traps from the sim. #
  • On less geeky news hp&hbp movie left out a lot of material that could have been included at no cost in plot or time. Sloooooow movie. #
  • Girl on bus is wearing sunglasses so large it looks a stiff wind would pull her off the ground. Ah the quirks of fashion. #
  • My office is a zombie filled land of empty cubicles filled with the dietrus of layoffs. The fabric walls of these little keeps weep. #
  • The partitions sag, the fabric dulls, as the soul of the cubicle rots. Webster's dictionary and thesaurus lie fallow and forgotten. #

  • Have rebuilt my home PC twice in the last three days. Flickerflack, snickersnack. #
  • What kills me the most? Downloading all the Steam games over again. #
  • I wonder, can a teenager make it to adulthood without expectations being smashed or being psychotically deluded? #
  • When you come to that realization, is that where you mark yourself as an adult? #
  • I wish my motivations in my teenage expectations had been more realistic or at least more pure in their nature. #

  • Lot of money leaving my grasp these few months. Kids are expensive. No such thing as cheap family. #
  • Listening to @neilhimself on npr right now. Talking about his batman take. #

Windows 7

Windows 7 can’t seem to come soon enough. My Vista annoyances are really getting to me and I just want to put my hands into something different.

Vista, I hate you. Seriously.

According to the Windows Blog, the final version will be coming to Technet and MVLS subscribers a few weeks after the RTM announcement. I have both, so I expect to start chewing on W7 by the end of August.

Because when XP is a better user experience than Vista, obviously something is wrong.
