Fucking clowns at work, I feel like I was freaking robbed of the last 3 months being there. Ok so I did make more money than I would have not being there, but it put me so far behind in my projects. I spent more money on food and gas by just going there everyday. Even if I can just create a solid portfolio of work by finishing up the projects I have, even if I don't make any money on them. I'll be in a great position to either start more projects or at least get a better job somplace. Now that I am finnally toying around with GNU/Linux, Java, Oracle and C/C++, I'll have a big hole in my knowledge base at least partially filled.
Did some website work today. Not as much as I wanted to but I did figure out a few things as far as design goes for one website. I have the base design in my head and will start working on the HTML in the coming days. The History Channel is great. I just hope their programming is fair handed and accurate. You can't believe the news anymore they don't tell the truth. I guess at one point the news was a place to get the truth. Not anymore almost all news media is dirty, unfair and underhanded. The news is as reliable as some dudes webpage on the Internet. I guess the only place to get solid info is books. Even they have their biased garbage. I guess humans are just not interested in what really happens just what they perceive. Even the science is based on perception defining reality. Which is good as long as you recognize that perception may change and you always search for enhancing perception and finding out more. I don't know what a lot of scientest think, sometimes they are painted as arrogant know-it-alls and some probably are. But I am not sure, I just hope that despite all the knowledge of science that there is always more and more to be discovered. Some of probably like that, but I have an inkling of a thought that too many are narrow minded and don't think enough, they just process data. I don't know.
This weekend will be the first in two weeks that I am not tied up with something else. I'll be able to get a lot done. I think I will add some enhancements to the posting engine I have created. Some basic administration tools and more organization for the posts (by Month archive type thing).
Begining to think more and more that the possibility of building a spaceship is very real. Before it was sort of an impossible dream that I was going to seek out until my last days but it seems very possible now. As I have said before as I learn more, less and less things impress me, especially in relation to human achievements. That is why I don't want to raise any accomplishment on a pedastal because I always have some greater idea in mind. I am not sure what will be the one thing or group of things that will impress me but it will be grand no doubt. Then again maybe that is the great part about progress. Nothing is particularly impressive, just an amalgam of various accomplishments on a timeline. Being impressed will be relative, what is impressive today is old-hat tomorrow.
