Fri, 01 Aug 2008 01:00:01 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en Extremely busy day at work today. I didn't even get to work on any of the large issues. I spent most of the day triaging interface issues that should have been simple for the users to correct themselves. And yet. Most of the people who were released from their positions mid-month ... http://theogeer.net/AutumnTwilight/archives/150 It's feeling like a good morning. I had an interesting dream last night. I don't remember all of it. But it was gave me an idea for a really interesting pair of characters. I think she belongs in the same story/universe that Jared and Gregory belong to. I'm not sure ... http://theogeer.net/AutumnTwilight/archives/149 Have you ever noticed that most of the people that surround you are stupid, and most of the things you're supposed to do in life are a waste of time? I'm not a normal person. I don't spend my time doing normal things. I'm a nerd, and I'm geeky about several ... http://theogeer.net/AutumnTwilight/archives/148 One of those wild mornings. I slept about 5 hours or so, tops. I feel fine, just a little tired. This is going to be one of those weeks. Tonight is my only free evening, and I'll probably spend it doing laundry. John left for Missouri earlier this morning. He'll be ... http://theogeer.net/AutumnTwilight/archives/147 it's 7:40 and I'm on the el home. I'm missing a meeting as I write this. I got stuck at work late and couldn't make it. I hate it when that happens. I'll probably get home and go get some food around 8:30 or so. I've got a full week ahead ... http://theogeer.net/AutumnTwilight/archives/146 He sits cross-legged on the floor in the center of the little room. His skin is bare to the purified air except for a pool of cotton around his waist. The only light radiates from a small sphere that sits on a low table before him. The light is flowing ... http://theogeer.net/AutumnTwilight/archives/145 I am not human. Not truly. Not in the ways that actually matter. I suppose what matters is actually rather subjective. The body I posess looks human enough. I have twenty digits. Two eyes. Two arms. Two legs. A head. A penis. My organs are human, if somewhat oddly functioning. My ... http://theogeer.net/AutumnTwilight/archives/144 It's a little past 11. I should be on my way to bed but I'm not really tired. I'll get there eventually. I spent most of the day at work trying to wrangle a misbehaving server into functionality. No luck yet. We're going to try rebooting and possibly reinstalling some ... http://theogeer.net/AutumnTwilight/archives/143 Heart pounding, he grunts in effort and throws his body to one side. Hands squeeze tightly on the bars as sweat drips into his eyes. The light is too bright and it pounds numbingly into his brain. He drops his legs through the bars and up the other side, extending ... http://theogeer.net/AutumnTwilight/archives/142 I emerge from the box, wrapping the cloak around me tightly, my bare feet sinking into the cold slush on the black ground. There is a bright light streaming down from a little above me, coming out of some boxlike thing attached to the outside of the building. There is ... http://theogeer.net/AutumnTwilight/archives/82 They laid off the vast majority of my coworkres today. I only barely survived the axe. Apparently I'm valuable to the company. They are going to move me to a different team and have me work on their DotNet project, which I believe is also a Web Development project in ... http://theogeer.net/AutumnTwilight/archives/141 My pinky finger hurts. I pulled a nail too severely the other day and wounded myself. The left shift key is not pleasant at the moment. I'm going to try blogging a little more regularly again, even if some of what comes out isn't life changing or crazy important. I'm going ... http://theogeer.net/AutumnTwilight/archives/139 Dark of the Moon tonight. It's raining. The clouds are a dull grey with a tinge of olive, and the rain is a soft patter outside my window, interrupted in its rythym only by the passing of cars and the occasional sloshing of an animal or person. I stepped out into ... http://theogeer.net/AutumnTwilight/archives/138
