Making It

How can once freely create, if one is too afraid of failure? The successful perfectionist tried, failed, and tries again till it’s gotten right. The failed perfectionist never tried.

Listening to: Fans

I used to find the sound comforting. More than once have I uttered that I couldn’t sleep for their lack. The story has changed. Their incessent wirrings begin to echo within the chamber that carries my mind, and that echo knows no cessation. I have the ability to turn her off, to walk away. But [...]

Clone Army is Dead. Long live Clone Army.

Clone Army’s been producing some disturbing, but cute, material. Like the ever-cute Nana in her everyday life. Or tomoyo42’s room, which I’ve yet to figure out, though it appears she’s channeling Freeman in the first page.

Add that this was my first half-complicated chunk of java, with all the debugging and class-hunting that ensues, and I took 78.5 of the alotted 80 minutes. That’s cutting it [...]

Or to use a different phrase, someone picking a fight can kill scary people with immunity from criminal prosecution or civil action for using deadly force. Such questions as how the scary people feel about this [...]

Wireless Uplink

bmd has recently moved into the city of Windsor, down near the university. With this transition comes all sorts of other changes, like moving your adsl service between lines. As Jet2.Net does not currently provide dry-loop dsl service, he has gone with Sympatico, our local craptastic incumbent provider. Still, the order is not due to [...]
