Daily Nilknarf Haiku

Ephemeral devices fail;
scant memory does not suffice
All is dust, dust, mud.

My problem is my shitty attitude lately.

I let little shit build up in my mind and destroy it.

This is not a good thing, but I think that it's a common human failing, and, as a common human, it grabs my ass occasionally, rendering my normal pollyanna attitude into commonality.

Needless to say, I don't like that.

And I am taking steps to combat that whole thing.

For one thing, we had our meet with the supervisor today. It went well, and I got a lot of things off of my chest. I said a lot of stuff that I normally would keep bottled up, and I said it intelligently, and it was well received. One of my biggest fears is coming off looking like a fool in these situations, and I don't think that I did this time.

The other thing, of course. is that I'm thinking about it.

So. progress.

I lost two computers today, one, my main machine, is the twin to the one that I lost three months ago, an AMD 1700. The other was the one that I just bought, the AMD 64-bit machine. The CPU cooling fan froze on it, and I was able to replace it.

So I'm writing downstairs on my music machine with the standard keyboard, and man, is it ever a pain. The keyboard, I mean.


TA dAHHHHH! Announcing the WINNAH!

Li'l Annette kinda submitted the entry "THOR" in the blog, and I don't know why I didn't think of Thor myself; Thor was the ancient Norse Thunder God, and, I assume, the lightning god too, you can't just do one.

And lightning is what is going to happen when I need Thor to come to my rescue. I won't need any prayers or sacrifices, no, Thor will know when his help is needed and he'll provide the needed amperage and voltage. Thor is a good guy, watching over my rhythms, swaying with the beat, always in tune.


ThorWatch will be implemented shortly, once I get all of my computers coordinated again. I've had a quasi-network set up since time began, but I'm gonna set up a real one real soon, as soon as I replace a coupla machines....

Or maybe sooner.

Jumping around a little bit here... one of the things that is discouraging me lately is my lack of progress in losing weight. I went from 265 to 222 with no problem... but I'm stuck. So now I need to concentrate on really cutting the carbs (my fasting morning sugar is still around 110[that's good!]) and I do think that improving my attitude will help a lot.

Attitude improvement goes a long ways.

In fact, writing about attitude improvement is a big help.

O'yeah, emails? If you've written me lately, chances are I didn't get it. Patience is a virtue, and I call upon my friends to practice it....

And, in case you might have forgotten, I love you all!


Thanx for being here!
