  • Progressive thought

    I slept late (and was forced to wake up early). I had this eye-opening conversation with Matt.

    I must confess, I'm not progressive-minded. I don't think in terms of change and post-modernism and all that. I guess my thinking is conventional, but at least I'm sane enough to know that. Sometimes I'm awed by the insights other people have about this friggin' crazy world we live in. I bash myself to try to think in that way— then realize that it isn't how I view the world.

    Personally, I think there is a lot of crap in this world. Don't get me wrong; every philosophical thought from Plato to Sartre and what have you isn't totally bullshit. The question is, is it worth contemplating in the first place?

  • CSS Override

    Hehehe. If you've noticed (or not), I've overriden the <FONT> tags that the LiveJournal server puts out. Of course, I have no idea if my hack works on other browsers (it works in IE5.5/Win), but I hope it does. Phew.

    So, this thing looks moderately good. If only I could remove the damned <FONT> tags...

  • I'm currently downloading ODBC stuff. Where the hell can I find a free reference to ODBC and SQL?

  • Crappy Internet

    When possible, never decide on your ISP without checking your other options. I'm currently on Infocom, and so far I've been having sh*t from their dialup. I regularly seem to be at a sluggish 14.4. Damn.

    And I keep getting dropped. Damn.

    Let this be a lesson— try before you buy. Try out the prepaid stuff, I mean. If the ISP has a good prepaid connection, the post-paid accounts usually fair a notch better.

  • Finally, I've downloaded the LJ Win32 client. Now for the source code...

    Actually, I feel like tweaking and hacking. I've also downloaded MinGW (at least the distribution files I would need) so I can go on hack.

    And by the way, today's my birthday. :P

  • I'm wondering whether I should keep this thing over here. It's pretty redundant. Or not. Hmm.

    HOW THE HELL DO I LAYOUT THIS THING? I can't apparently, so I'll have to be content with a lousy layout. Grr.

    Drop by Our Chair. Interesting stuff. I'm serious.

  • well, this is a test

    If you've dropped in from nowhere, I'm testing out this LiveJournal. I'll be testing out the look and what have you. If it works, it works...

    Well, here goes nothing...

    (And the monkey flips the switch...)
