[[[ what's this flight thing about? ]]] as i +++ look at the field i see a thin line down it's right side, with +++ my back to the conifers, and my line of sight along the top +++ perimeter of our land. the quality of the line, it's thiness and +++ colour does not seem wholy normal. +++ some motion somewhere (* i cannot recally exactly *) or just a +++ large object jutting up from the landscape, steals my attention +++ from the unusual line in the ground and I spy a massive bird. It +++ is mottled brown, patterns of highlights and dark areas. i'm +++ rather worried by it, it has a slightly menacing set of features. +++ the bird is a bulk, shuffling about on the field. it must be +++ perhaps 5 or six foot long, this thing. It notices me and raises +++ itself airbourne. I cannot recall if it needed to flap it's wings +++ or not, I watch it approach, maybe it flapped to begin with but +++ now it is back to it's original posture - but still airbourne, +++ it's propulsion by some unidentified means. @@ did the bird talk to me first, or did i speak to the bird first? @@ it spoke to me in almost normal eNGLISH. I cannot recall what we @@ verbally exchanged. I asked of it's name several times and it @@ repeatedly told me it was "Mastersss.." I began to get fearful that I was dillusional. Surely this can't really be real? No birds exist like that, and certainly not with conversational ability.

THAT I HAD A DIRECTION TO GO IN. COULD NOT IMAGINE WANTING TO STOP. (*************************************************************++) 3) new pc == lost inspiration /* i buy new pc because old pc kept overheating, 2gb of flaky ram ** caused such gems as 'internal compiler error' and probably oth ** er assorted bugs i'd considered software based. and because i' ** m reaching the limit of the cpu processing power on a regular ** BASIS. buy new pc install 64studio. damnit some software is older. can i compile what i had on old pc, try + fail. lack of compat between 64bit 64studio DVD && debian etch DVDs - as far as apt or dpkg go . i know, i'll install a new version of gcc for fun. no. linux from scratch might help show me how. erm, oh look not the latest versi ons. try something else. DIY Linux looks better, slightly newer v ersions - and still newer than 64studio, a good base to build on me thinks. do do do. download from library @ work during lunch all source. eventually DIY linux can be booted into. BUT WHAT DO WE HAVE AT THE END OF THE REFERENCE BUILD AND A BIT FURTHER WORK? A COMMAND PROMPT. THAT IS THAT. MAYBE SHOULD LOOKED i HAVE HAD AT REFERENCE THE BUILD before STARTING END ANd then might have Realised it was going to be a lot more work than i thought. A *LOT* *MORE* *WORK* than *I* |_did not_| *T*H*O*U*G*H*T* (*************************************************************) 4) to top it all off i get some weird flu like virus thing. terrible sore throat, no time for computer. spent all w/e in bed. took mondy off, felt worse for working tuesdy/wensdy... but last night trippy going to bed... (*************************************************************) 5) BUSINESS OFFENDS ME BUSINESS OFFENDS ME - I DEMAND COMPENSATION! BUSINESS ALWAYS WANTS MORE TIGHTER CONTROL OF THE POPULATI/ i can't continue this it was so clear last night what was to be said for this. but last night i thought these things in a fever and suddenly felt like i'd leveraged my way into an inbetween horizontal space, space to stretch but nevermind no verticality, just the horizontal felt like a weight lifted (*************************************************************) 6) the gamer in me is dead windows vista, eurghh. but i shall atleast use it for gaming. crysis arrived today and today it is now installed and after tweaking the graphics options until a decent performance achieved, i might have played the game. i played the game and was rubbish. i can't play the game. one hand on mouse, one on keyboard. not enough ammo. i put difficulty on easy for next play at tommorrow or later. consider selling crysis on ebay. (*************************************************************) 7) CON.clusion mind control for the masses. flu virus is alien from outer space sent to converse with me, materialise in dream as weird giant bird. audio work attracted them, or opened portal for entity to interface with flu-like-virus and thus interface with this human body physical - but in dream+fever dimensions. dreams of insanity )equate with( perfect sanity, i'm alright. AS FAR AS WHAT I ACTUALLY WANT TO USE MY NEW COMPUTER FOR, I'VE GOT NOWHERE, ACHIEVED NOTHING, PRODUCED NO THING, CREATED NO THING. GOT NOWHERE WITH IT AT ALL AND LOST ALL INSPIRATION TO DO ANYTHING WITH IT FOR THE TIME BEING, BLOODY THING. //so it happens the other week i tidied my studio AHEMgarage. \\the other day i did some painting. i'm running out of paint i _______________________________________________ NetBehaviour mailing list NetBehaviour@netbehaviour.org http://www.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour
