Windows 7’s Status Board

I don’t know if I’m really trying to avoid doing work, or what, but It has occurred to me that Windows 7’s task bar is like a status board for my life. Each major task I do has a different set of icons associated with it. At present I have FireFox, Windows Media Player, Word […]

Cleaning Up

I sometimes let my buddy lists on instant messaging services get too busy. There are people on them that I talk to once, or gave me their ID in an email, only to never be spoken to. I find the cluttering of people on these lists to be a bit much to handle, so I […]

Deciphering the Moods and Desires of People

Life is quite strange when dealing with these mortals called humans. Do exactly what you believe that these humans desire and then they change what they desire, making your actions and assumptions wrong.

Listing Ones Wishes

It’s that little list I am supposed to work on starting in July and turn into her sometime before the first week of November. Well, in the 20-however-many years I’ve been […]

Life Sucks When You Are Unaccomplished

Like sucks when you are unaccomplished. I have for a long time been easily depressed by my own inadequacies when compared to other people, at some point recently I got over that and am no longer worried about how I compare to other people, because if I spend all of my time trying to develop […]
