Guess so …

I’m thinking I’ll update with something that isn’t drunken rambling about anthrax. Mind you, though, that anthrax really isn’t something to joke about. Some guy here at the office was joking about licking a letter … it was quite poor taste :-/

My weekend was good. Not really a whole lot behind that, just too much happened. I read a lot of Atlas Shrugged last night. Sure, it’s taken me freaking months to finish the book, but now that it’s gotten to the good part, it’s going really fast … 90 pages last night, 260 pages on thursday night — almost done. Incredibly good book, even if it’s all about senseless promotion of self. Hey! That’s me! w0OoooooOOo! Honestly though, I suggest that everybody grab a copy of Fountainhead, read it, then read Atlas Shrugged. The first is a good read, the second is just damn good.

One thing that strikes me at this particular moment is how Rand harps on the fact that the only insurmountable task/feeling/event/emotion/attitude/thought is indifference. How true. See, if someone actually cares about something, even in the most miniscule amount, that person is able to be reasoned with, to be communicated with; a person who is 100% indifferent will do neither. Being a rather friendly person, I find it quite difficult to deal with, and usually leave such things alone to sort themselves out. Oddly enough, that doesn’t work as well as one would think.

I’m sorry, happiness is against Gateway policy. Please conform immediately and become a mindless, soulless, unproductive worker bee. Sincrerely, Gateway Human Resources Dept.

Getting dumped by a girl you don’t like, that is one thing. Getting fired from gateway, however, requires even less loss and feelings of remorse than watching Al Gore lose the election. And for those that *GASP* voted for Al Gore, perhaps a better example would be seeing Osama Bin Ladin turned into a woman.

Randall, I need your help with some geek related things at my place, you busy tonight?
2001-10-16 11:58:17 – rand0m
No sir, not busy at all — I’d be glad to help. Gimme a ring.
2001-10-16 12:24:39 – The Disco Nova
I’ll give ya a ring around 4 pm. We’ll prolly have to go shopping for a few components. What I want to do is have you "tweak" my system a little, it is slow as hell and unstable to boot. I also wanna put back together my old p3 500mhz box and network it with my new box, to use it as a game server.
2001-10-16 14:21:29 – rand0m
no problemo. I’ll bring along all my handy-dandy tools, cables, plugs and software … cable is free for ya, if you don’t have any already, but I don’t have any nics.

do you have all the termination equipment? I’ve got some crimpers and a pentascanner I can bring home.
2001-10-16 14:58:16 – rand0m
I have a ton of cat5e, a ton of rj45 ends, a really nice rj45/11 crimper and a lot of wire-pair-coloring know-how. I’d be glad to bring it along to save on the cable costs.

I think that cars should run on a hydrogen-oxygen mix instead of gasoline.
2001-10-18 15:37:15 – Burnz
Yeah, did Val Kilmer figure out how to do that while dressing up like various men of questionable sexual orientation and thwarting an evil Russian (as if there is another kind)?
