SKIPPED.
No Firefly for me yesterday, instead I lounged at home and watched tv.
Today, inspired by Jesse and Perkins' tales of selling stuff online, I have taken pictures of a whole bunch of stuff from my house. Hopefull I'll get it all listed online this week. Thrown away two trashcans full of other stuff that I cannot comprehend why I had around as it was all useles or broken or both.
Now I think for laundry.
Watched the reading of the names for the first time this year. Actually made it all the way through. Couldn't motivate to leave the house though.
a district of Seattle (OK, a really BIG district of Seattle)
Uh, NOLA city itself is just short of 500,000. Or was.
Seattle city itself is north of 550,000 people.
Are you talking size? I think NOLA's area is about the same as what we call "north of the Ship Canal."
Dang! I
knew
someone would call me on this. My main point was that NOLA is small, compared to the rest of the States.
My main point was also something like "the system is fragile, if tipping-over 2% brings it to its knees."
It is Sunday. In the States, this means that if you are doing stuff on your computer that feels like "work", your life has gone horribly wrong.
I need to solicit an "Amen." If you have ever stared at a piece of code you wrote and gone: "What the frack does
that
mean?", give me an "Amen."
Amen.
I've also stared I words I wrote and said, "This makes no sense at all."
Gus, does it count if I stare at sentences I wrote and say, "What the frell is that?"
Amen. Testify.
I've also stared I words I wrote and said, "This makes no sense at all."
This I can Amen. I haven't written code since my best friend and I tried to make a secret language, when we were in the third grade.
Amen.
In the States, this means that if you are doing stuff on your computer that feels like "work", your life has gone horribly wrong.
Even worse, I am a work, working. Grants are wonderful, 'cause they give you money and such. But writing final reports for grants completely and utterly sucks. I mean, I'm trustworthy. They should just accept that I did good things with the money and be done with it.
I've also stared at words I wrote and said, "This makes no sense at all."
I get that. It is like the feeling I get when I threadsuck and search on "Gus".
Or, when there's a simple word that just doesn't look like it's spelled right. I've spent minutes staring at words like 'if,' convinced that I had spelled them incorrectly.
