Zombie Thumb Drive....

Just spent a little of my quiet night in tinkering... Made myself a USB memory stick. Figured I'd take a picture of this one, I also made one as a birthday present for my brother.... Didn't take long, now have an 8Gb memory stick which looks like someone has ripped something of my computer....


The little grey stick next to it is what one of the drives looks like (there's one stuck in the plug)

Got the idea here...

and then I failed to find my soulmate....

So, spent a good portion of today sitting at my computer, pretending I can code. While I was doing this I felt like music, so ended up checking out one of the few iTunes libraries being shared on our network (there are about 3). By chance found one which had a really high overlap with my music tastes, as well as a whole bunch of things I didn't have/had lost/though might be cool... Was getting all geared up to track down my musical soul mate....

Minna thoughtfully pointed out with a smile that it was the lab computer, and that most of the music was probably mine, George's or Juliette's...

Am left with a strange feeling, like I've just fallen for an imaginary person... feel somewhat cheated... (and quite stupid)

As a consolation, I'm now listening to Metallica being played on 4 cellos... a very surreal, but not unpleasant experience. (From Minna's library)

iPathy: The feeling of having an iPod full of music, none of which you feel any enthusiasm more.

kids...

sometime I think I need to develop better ways of telling the kids in the lab that I don't feel like answering their questions right now....

I love them really....

wandering

Hauled my coughing wheezing ass out of my apartment a bit this weekend. Wandered around a bit in an attempt to shake my cabin fever (probably didn't help my cold).

sniffles....

Have manfluenza at the moment, so I'm sitting around at home, sniffing lots and using more tissues than a teenage boy who's just got cable porn....

Conditioning, habituation, reflex or something...

1 minute.

That's about the time between me putting my headphones into my ears at work and realising that there isn't any music playing.

Don't get old. It isn't fun.
