How I fucking hate computers. And the terrible language and incomprehensible lingo the programming people put in their stupid program thingies.

Some program is telling me "unloading user registry hives might take a while." Ummm...yeah I'm sure it might. Tell someone who cares about user registry hives, and the unloading thereof...

Sitting in bed with a very upset baby, neither by wife or I are really sure what the matter is. Hopefully he isn't just crying for the sake of it.
I think we may be missing this sleep, hopefully he'll settle before midnight.

Watching Barcelona-Chelsea. John Terry really is quite the idiot, isn't he?

Not that I'm complaining, mind.

Yeah what a twat. Chelsea were lucky to go through after that.

Seriously considering going to art school. I've been thinking of switching jobs, but am having a hard time choosing where to go next (I work as a programmer/sysadmin). My father in law sat me down and tried to get to work through an exercise meant to get me to make a choice. And the conclusion I came to was that all else being equal, I don't actually want to be in IT at all. I've drawn since I was a kid, strictly as a hobby. And now here's my wife offering to support us if I want to go to art school. My in laws offered to have us live with them for a while if we wanted to downsize and save money. The support I've gotten has been unbelievable.

I don't want to have my wife support me, or take advantage of my in-laws' generosity, but I've come to the conclusion that I do want to make this change. For now I'm staying put at work. I get paid well, and the work is interesting. But I'm going to spend my spare time trying to me the switch.

It's the kind of thing that happens a lot. The main attribute of new parents is that they're tired. Good luck where that is concerned, mate.

That is a very difficult decision, giving up the certainty of a well-paid job for something else that you'd love doing. I hope it all turns out well, Ricardo.




On a different note, I have just assembled an ABBA karaoke CD.



This is not something I expected I would ever do.

I'll take Does Your Mother Know or Voulez-Vous. If anyone wants to do Super Trouper, I'll happily sing back-up.


Sod it, I'll do it anyway. Su-pa-pa, trou-pa-pa.

Thanks, Christian. I'll be smart about it, but I feel I have to give it a shot or forever wonder what if.

Ah, a clown-hiding accident. They're a real problem.

Here are my two Facebook updates from this morning. It's been a weird one.
The guy dressed as a giant inflatable cup of coffee outside of Tim Horton's was dancing so hypnotically in time with the Daft Punk song I was playing that I missed it when the light turned green.

Right now outside the Army/Navy store there's a state trooper talking to someone in a full Ghostbusters costume with proton pack.
