Life can be different sometimes.
The day after my last post, somebody broke into my house, and helped themselves to everything that they thought they needed more than me. They took both of Quoth's computers, all our files, and a large part of our computer equipment. They also stole both my sister, and her boyfriend's systems, and some of all our clothes etc.
The good news is that our dog, and our bikes were with us on vacation. I also still have the server with all of the software I have written over the last few years backed up (on a slowly failing hard drive).
So now I have to make a choice...
I could decide that my life just sucks, that the world is out to get me, and that I should just quit, or perform some large scale misanthropic act of violence.
But that would be a cop out. Instead, I have decided that this was the kick in the ass I needed to finally start working for a solid future. No more rental quats for me; I am buying a new condo (with a leak proof warranty). I will NOT replace all of the unnecessary consumer crap that I have accumulated. Just me, Quoth, my dog, my bike, and my computer.
No knick knacks, no designer floor mats, and certainly no cleverly named end tables made from environmentally friendly compressed swedish post consumer waste.
No eating out at trendy restaurants that have waiters that affect a fake french accent either.
I am going to hang with friends, eat pizza, and be simply happy.

The upside is that it garnished you with a revelation of Fight Club proportions.
I will see you when you get back and we shall hang out....and eat pizza. It shall be all okay. :-)

Thanks everybody. The fight club thing has actually come up several times between Quoth and I. Generally I refer to it as the "forced catharsis".

Posted by: fleshlight at October 20, 2004 11:14 AMBy recognizing a favorable opinion of yourself, and taking pleasure in it, you in a measure give yourself and your peace of mind into the keeping of another, of whose attitude you can never be certain.

Universal doubt cancels itself.

Posted by: Rolex Replica at November 12, 2004 09:33 AM JACK AND THE BEANSTACK
by Mark Isaak
Long ago, in a finite state far away, there lived a JOVIAL
character named Jack. Jack and his relations were poor. Often their
hash table was bare. One day Jack's parent said to him, Our matrices
are sparse. You must go to the market to exchange our RAM for some
BASICs. She compiled a linked list of items to retrieve and passed it
to him.
So Jack set out. But as he was walking along a Hamilton path,
he met the traveling salesman.
Whither dost thy flow chart take thou? prompted the salesman
in high-level language.
I'm going to the market to exchange this RAM for some chips
and Apples, commented Jack.
I have a much better algorithm. You needn't join a queue
there; I will swap your RAM for these magic kernels now.
Jack made the trade, then backtracked to his house. But when
he told his busy-waiting parent of the deal, she became so angry she
started thrashing.
Don't you even have any artificial intelligence? All these
kernels together hardly make up one byte, and she popped them out the
window ...
