So Very Tired

So I shall leave you with Penny Arcade's take on what the side-effects of the Ender's Game movie will be.

The sound you just heard?  Me pissing myself laughing.

Help!

I will feel eternally grateful to the person that can find me a map of Edinburgh I can use on my Palm.

Check out my Morality! 80% liberal, 20% conservative

Oh, and apparently also:

    * You are relatively open to new experiences.
    * You probably have a messy desk!
    * You are neither particularly social or reserved.
    * You are neither extremely forgiving nor irritable.
    * You are generally relaxed.

Pagan Heirarchy

It probably says something that I recognise a fair number of the groups in the Pagan Heirarchy.

And it's true that everyone look down on otherkin.

(Just as funny as the Geek heirarchy, if you know many of the groups)

Revealed at last!

The _truth_ about the Gay Agenda!

In the vague interest of saying something today rather than my day consisting entirely of programming....

I've lost interest in window managers of all kinds.  I used to spend ages looking for programs to allow me to change my start menu, my backgrounds, my window shapes, give me extra desktops and generally reconfigure the way my computer works to hell and back.

And you know what?  99% of the time I'm working full-screen on a single app.  I do switch back and forth, but generally it's between full-screen apps, each of which takes my full attention for the half second it occupies the entire monitor.

It's not like I can actually focus on more than one thing at once after all.  And most of the time I want Windows to exist so that it can load a program I actually want to work with, not so that I can play with it for it's own sake.

There's a rant here somewhere about the fact that if you provide a solution to a problem some segment of the population will spend far more time playing with the solution and turning it into a hobby than they will actually dealing with the problem the solution was meant to solve.  Cars spring to mind, as do Hi-Fi systems.  Also, the written language.  And computers, of course.
