20/07: Devices and Desires

"The Republic is a vast and complex machine, powered by constitution and specification, with hundreds and thousands of human cogs, gears, cams, spindles, shafts, beams, arms, pawls, hands, keys, axles, cotters, manifolds, bearings, sears, pins, latches, flies, pistons, links, quills, leads, screws, drums and escapements, each performing in turn its specific operation. He was the last operation before the army was engaged, but he was a component of the whole; ordinances and directives drove him, his office and his duties were the keyway he travelled in. It wasn't as though he has any choice in the matter."
~excerpt from Devices and Desires by K J Parker.

18/07: MSN Live Messenger

I happen to be one of those who always check for latest update/patch to most softwares I own and patches them without reading wat the patch is about. I just make the assumption that the latest is always the best, which is not always true. But what the hell, I just want to keep my life simple ya? Why the hell would the coders release a patch of there was nothing wrong?

Anyway, I have been using MSN Live Messenger aka MSN Messenger v 8.0 for a while now, since it's offical release. Seriously I do not know what was the difference between it and the earlier version(7.5 i think). Anyway everything was fine and dandy and I lived peacefully with v8 since the installation till a few days ago.

It's been 3 weeks since I left the job... to do nothing. And I am still doing nothing much other than:

- walking around town randomly, enjoying an earl grey at a cafe, when most of my peers are slogging at work,
- staying up the whole night playing UO while my peers are having nightmares about timelines,
- spending lots of time with Cat and just sitting on the sofa feeling great about not doing anything
