Bash russian roulette: [ $[ $RANDOM % 6 ] == 0 ] && rm -rf / || echo “You live” Been working on something the last few days at work that lets you videoblog - quite cool, will launch on Monday in time for 3GSM — will post a link when I’m allowed Weird things afoot with the people I’m closest to. Not sure why, but it’s all going a bit pete tong. Meh. Things will settle then I’ll pick through the remains to see what I have left. Flat to myself tonight. I am going to try and do something constructive with my time, but might not manage it. Bah. My new boots don’t hurt any more Had Mr Wu for lunch. I’m allowed a day off from eating sensibly. Had Chinese last night too, but that’s because I’m a retard. Plus I was cleaning up someone else’s mess at work until 8:30. Which was nice. A shiny application that gets launched on Monday yet has TODO - Add error handling in the registration system isn’t good. Still, no errors, even if it was just ignoring them Tonight I might do some Freakycity. Or I might make some music. Not sure which yet, still contemplating. I need to learn Reason though and write more (and read more) as I’m getting nothing done in the evenings cept slipping into a coma as TJ watches *another* piece of utterly shit daytime television he’s downloaded. I swear I’m going to turn off the intarweb if he doesn’t stop it. Ranty. Hmm. Maybe I need pills. *cackle* Swirling around my head are some lovely ideas. One of them will burst forth soon enough, covering the world with gooey loveness. So...new diet, the Low GL diet, not strictly to lose weight, although it’ll be a welcome side effect, but to gain energy, something I find I’ve been lacking without stimulants, which is a bad thing. And ok, I’ve fucked it up a bit the last couple of days, but I still lost $shitloads of weight and am functioning without caffiene and have been for almost a week now. “New diet” I say...heh...this is the only one I’ve tried, it’s highly recommended and not silly like most of them. It’s a “new diet” in the strictest sense of the word, not so much an eating little and being hungry type of “diet” but simply eating different foods. More wholefoods, less fatty food, not frying stuff, steaming vegetables and meat, eating porridge for breakfast instead of cereal (which all tends to be high in sugar regardless of how “healthy” or “low in fat” it is) and no caffeine/nicotene/alcohol/other stimulants. Cept dark 70% cocoa chocolate. Mmm. Tho I’ve only had the one bar. No litres of OJ either, it’s metabolised too fast and gives you a sugar spike (YES LLOYD) — this is about keeping blood sugar constant, that way you don’t get hungry and you don’t get tired. Stimulants burn through sugar, making you eat more and making you spike (even adrenaline, from coffee or EXCITEMENT! NO EXCITEMENT FOR ME!). I’ve been too busy recently to properly blog. Or do much else, it seems. Bah. Oh well...I am currently typing frantically inbetween CVS updates and then I’m back hard at it. Two weeks from today I’m outta here. Mixed feelings about it though. I feel like I’m selling out (even though the people I work for aren’t exactly fluffy hippies). I like here, I could pootle along for another few years and I’d be fine, but the world would pass me by. I’m doing this because I need to stay at the cutting edge in the industry I’m in and working for one of the best agencies in the world will certainly allow that to happen. But here I get to make my own job. I am an individual, not a corporate faceless entity. The guys who set up the company know me by name and I advise them on all things web. But whilst here, I’m on the cutting edge of telephony, I’m not on the cutting edge of web app. I need to be. So I will take the pay cut. I will become faceless. And I will learn more. And my new face will be fashioned from lines of exceptional code and innovative design. Or I will fail and go back to noodling about in a small company where
