phew. i own my name in google  
 Asc Mo
hey! after a few weeks of running my weblog i finally own my own name in google!

they have me in the POW/MIA category, which is ironic and perhaps somewhat true in a meta sense.. but thats ok. i've not done any real work on keywords and page-descriptions yet.

i'm just glad that one can find my current site, not some inane observation about XML or just pointers to past work. why? cause i'm just getting started. :)

geek, recovering :)

i'm proud of myself for managing to break away from computer madness these last couple of days while actually engaging in it..

i left the end of the week free to do some pleasure programming. things being what they are, your typical 5hr session winds up consuming 25hr real-time. this is usually where i loose it. loose what? my connection to my self. that's what i loose when i remain in my head for too long at a stretch. if i loose it completely i forget that i have a personal life, goals, plans, hopes & dreams, friends, a lover.. i truly forget about all that. i push it away. 'must finish the code', 'just one last thing'.. these are the things i think to keep myself locked out of me.

i wound up doing 3 shifts, 25hrs total, over the last 2 days and stayed reasonably clear in the process because i stretched, walked about and practiced with my sword while keeping my thoughts away from the project i was in. i never used to do that.

i'm thrilled and happy to be able to code - even this little - without feeling that i'm going to loose my life and relationships to it. keeping my thoughts away from the/any/a project while i'm in it.. and letting a break be a break without fear of loosing momentum is new and big for me. lets keep it up; took a lot of development to get here :)

The Blogger In The Sky. I'm busy travelling folks. Back later. :)... [Rogi]

received by the news aggregator--- this is better than animal pictures! a note like this makes rogi more real to me and lets me know that he'll be quiet today. it matters not at all, but its a few bytes that serve to keep us in the village that i just pointed to in the Douglas Adams article. that's important, yes?

Douglas Adam: How to Stop Worrying and Learn to Love the Internet:   
 Asc Mo
DNA/How to Stop Worrying and Learn to Love the Internet: "Interactivity. Many-to-many communications. Pervasive networking. These are cumbersome new terms for elements in our lives so fundamental that, before we lost them, we didn't even know to have names for them."

dated but brilliant. lots of neat quotes. Douglas Adam via [Curry]

Ninety percent of young white male workers now doing worse than they would have 20 years ago: "The net result is a 40-percent decline in the fraction of men who can expect to achieve the kind of economic standing that defined America's middle class in the 1970s."

dysmal, but we knew that 20years ago. via [Jorn]
