Slashdot

I was thinking of getting out of the computer industry. Perhaps, I could get into cars. Then again, I'd be on another wild goose chase called education. I know a lot more than most, but that isn't much in the first place. There are plenty of people I could tag along with and leech info from them, but I don't do that very well.

More than anything, I want out of the technical support side of things. No matter what the industry. You only deal with people that are desperate, angry and they all blame _you_. I've had enough. I've also had enough of the industry itself. Sub-standard quality hardware and software are somehow, the standard. It amazes me that in a world where we pay huge fees for software that we do not even own, we continue to purchase utilites that rarely work as we expect them to, if at all. Then, beyond that, we have to worry about someone else being able to access any data that we create. The vocal minority can jump up and down, cuss and fuss, but the money is what makes the world go round. Hince, we have these problems. Shine something flashy in someone's face, they will ignore the problems of a product. Give them something that has potential for greatness, yet doesn't have the same flash... it's all trash. Noone is willing to pay. Even for quality. I'm guilty of this, as much as anyone else. However, I feel differently about _why_ I don't want to pay. I feel that money is yet another institution that could be done away with, yet will forevermore be forced upon humanity by society's whim.

Nothing in this world is true. Not life, not death. Not even taxes. Perspective is everything. Ask a preacher about death. He'd tell you it doesn't exsist. Ask a Nihlist about life. He'd tell you it doesn't exsist. You have to make your life what you will. Everything else is just a dream, moving around you, distracting you from your own dream.

This is bullshit. I posted something totally on-topic and very pertinent to the topic and I got hit as a Troll.

Morons.

My journal at home

I decided that I wanted to try out the microblogger tool that ol' BJP made a while back. Seems like a pretty cool idea. I may make a couple of changes to suit my needs, but all in all, I like it so far. It's little, it's easy and it doesn't require the use of tons of other software.

So, it's thanksgiving. We cooked way too much. No biggie. Just means I've got lots of food to eat for several days without having to cook.

I'm planning on messing around with Apache this weekend. I think it might even get a little slap with some journal software. That way, I'm keeping all of that on my own machine where it will get backed up(yeah right).

Well, go home and eat.

Well, yesterday I got pretty hot headed because /.'s journal ate my very lengthy entry. Don't know where it went. I'd like to start a blog, for many reasons. I would like to be able to catalog my life, for instance. I would like to get stuff off of my mind. I'd love to be able to keep a journal without having to remember where I put the damned thing. So, blog it is. I hit blogger, but they use IIS, which is total shit. If you aren't using IE, then get ready to not have any of your stuff processed. I need to set this up at home, really. But, I'm lazy so I probably won't bother. Bah.
