What a day

Shoxx for the island peoples. DNS contents went down the toilet. Panic! In total n00bie language, even though I don’t speak sysman language myself, it means the entire cumpany was flatlining. All systems down! Right nao the island peoples are restoring it. One of “my” applications is malfunctioning, but it gives a DNS error and the hosts file shows it works so… guess we’ll just wait. Plug and pray!

Trouble with focus

I have trouble focussing tonight. I had planned to work on my travel plans, but unfortunately my mind is being called away to la-la land for some reason. I guess that’s because there’s been a lot on my mind lately. It’s really no use being a worry wart, if you’re doing everything you can and more all the time. Then there’s always someone else to blame, I always say with a smile on my face. It’s gushing with irony, that kind of sentence isn’t it? Even when times moves fast, I want it to be even faster. 2009 can’t be over soon enough for me really. That’s the problem for me now. I’ve got to get myself and my footing right and have some patience. It’s no use running into walls trying to figure it out when there’s no door. I also need to relax no matter how hard that currently is for me. Just as ironic is my other saying: “relaxation is something for people who have the experience things will come together for them”. For the rest of us taking a load off can become quite difficult, ne. Will definitely find yourself having talks like this.

I tried to focus my attention here instead. I love Johfra’s interpretation of Capricorn. I wish I could dedicate more of my time making artworks of some kind. I know I have it in me, it’s just a little too much in this lifetime.

Post ponderings

That was another weekend, time flies faster than you can blink! I went to see my friend this weekend. Watched Diamond DVD and Excite (older K8) together! Talked about a lot of things and came to the conclusion where we’re at isn’t all bad. Always room for improvement though. Also came to the conclusion, whatever you want or see injustice done, you fight it to the bitter end. Because once you step back, you keep stepping back until you wonder why you exist at all. I always was a lone wolf, and for as long there is breath in me I AM.

To give a small visual representation of this story, it was (left) and it becomes (right) on the first row. Funny enough, my real character is somewhat like the cats you see in the pictures.

The stars* might have not given me the position to, but since when did I ever care to acknowledge any form of limitation other than those to cultivate a trade.

IT discussions: major lol

Since I try to keep up to date with developments in the field, I often come across the eternal discussion of “Why are IT folk so customer unfriendly?” (generalized, but it contains truth). There’s a beautiful example for this. As “Jack of all trades” in IT and half a dozen other things, customers always like to ask: “Is that possible?”. They keep doing that every time. You could argue whether you’re bad or good at your trade if you merely answer yes or do the thing I always do: “The answer is always yes, but the real question is whether you would really want it that way”. Either methods have zero positive effects and here’s why:
