One thing I’ve noticed about doing less-frequent updates around here is that when I do try to write something, even if it’s a simple I’m still alive
post, it’s more difficult. The creative juices have been stagnating, more than flowing, and it’s tough to get them moving again.
The worst part is that there’s actually been a fair amount of what I believe the scientists call “crap” going on around here lately, and at least one of my half-dozen readers would probably like to hear about it, but I just don’t have the urge to put any of it down here in words. There’s a short example below, and let’s just say that it’s fairly typical of how things have been going. Things work out in the end, but like eating a bean burrito with Guatamalan Insanity Pepper sauce, it’s more likely due to some inevitable physical process than any intelligent action on my part.
- Last Thursday was not a good day. I spent most of the morning with roof work going on over my head, and then trying to turn off filterkeys on my Windows XP machine at work. Of course by the time I found that article, I’d already broken the keyboard and restarted the system uncleanly (not entirely related), so I spent lunch watching CHKDSK count percentage points while the roof workers were taking their lunch break and it was quiet enough to think. When that was done, the workers started running the kondirator over my head again. A bug I should never have written, and which should have taken a few minutes to fix ended up eating an entire day because it only happened on Windows. Have I mentioned I don’t much like that OS?
