Love is a crooked thing.

These last two days, I've felt my heart like never before. My stomach is one big knot of pain, eating away. My skin feels like it's electic and my respiration is sobby and sighy. My eyes tear up constantly.

She told me she loves someone else, and I haven't even met her yet, what can I do? I can go visit her and exhibit my emotional side and get rejected once again. I'm such a fucking lovefool.

One day I'll throw myself off the pier in a drunken rage because I just never manage to get girls and do it right.

I have this gnawing suspicion that if I'd told her I loved her 2 weeks ago, before she met him, all would be different, but fact is, she probably don't love me and never will and I can't do anything about it. God, I hate this life.

re: the demise of snail mail: would it be a good
thing. will it be? things change and that is enevitable i
suppose but it's not us versus them on the hardcopy-
digicopy(the paper vs. pixels comment) issue. having a
shippng infrastructure is necessary unless we all have
one of those replicators from star trek. so speeding it's
demise is to what ends. i still like getting b-day
cards from my grandmother and i need to ship
goods to and fro. basically what i am saying is that
until we each have a proper file sharing mechanism and
more importantly until people grow up on the soul age tip
and get some more experience about themselves(even
capitalism is too much of an advanced system where the
median of people is now)we need snail mail. this article
is narrow minded, if that's not a rude thing to say but i find it
just bitching about something without really getting into
it; gettting into the real deal. what's the point? i mean really
is all creative thought dead right now? nothing is happening.
i have continuely been let down over and over again by the
selling out/sheeping that is going on. music/art/text/dance
everyone is just bullshitting themselves while they bitch about
how bad it is without ever getting into the reasons . i know
many people, many who bitch and say what we should be doing
then pop in their pete tong(or even worse plastikman) cd. i was
at an anti-war protest in late september and...good, great! ..
yes no war indeed. but as the same old chants we being chanted
with the apethetic flags being raised i swear i felt like running up
and grabbing the mic and screaming "who's wearing nikes? come
on be honest everyone. how much do you really waNT
CHANGE?." and on a bigger scale that's the problem holding us
back from truly demising snail mail and human waste.....and.....
war. i hope i'm being clear because it's an intangeble thing and
i'm not a writer. it's not so simple as put your money where your
mouth is.

or maybe it is? in most cases even the underground is the
problem..is there an underground? should there have
to be? candy and brainwashing.

NORTHERN LIGHTS: A powerful solar explosion on Nov. 22nd hurled a coronal
mass ejection (CME) into space and toward our planet -- possibly joining
another CME already en route. The expanding clouds could trigger
geomagnetic activity when they sweep past Earth on Nov. 24th and/or 25th.
High-latitude sky watchers are likely to see Northern Lights this weekend,
especially during the hours around local midnight on Saturday and Sunday.
Prospects for middle-latitude observers are less certain. Tune in to
SpaceWeather.com for details and updates.

Hate the way Christmas shopping is automatic. Shopping centres are scary this time of year - ever noticed how no one looks happy in those places? Just blank expressionless faces bleakly looking for PRODUCTS as seen on tv etc. So what's Santa got in his sack for you this year? Hmmm can't wait....

Google adwords are much more powerful, because they are precisely targeted. Pyrads are viewed by anyone visiting the blogger site, so if your site was offering tools for blogger or blogging, like blogdex, then you would have got a higher click-through rate.

Google adwords allow you to specify the search terms that will trigger your ad to display. So, if you are trying to sell electric guitars, you would specify that your ad is shown whenever someone seearches for Fender, Gibson, Shergold etc, and of course "eletric guitar".

This way, only people who are interested in what you are selling see your ad. This is MUCH more powerful than the scatter gun approach of buying ads on sites that are unrelated to what you are doing.

CC: The synthesizer arrived.

TD: It was arriving. In '64, I got a letter from someone named Robert A. Moog, inviting me to look at his new "instruments for electronics music composition" - his words - at the AES convention in New York. How he got my name, I don't know; this was before my LPs came out. So, I went, I looked, I saw a keyboard and a prototype wall of knobs and wires. I listened, and I got a sinking feeling that my kind of music was ending here. My peculiar skills were going to be obsolete, like a blacksmith looking at his first automobile. That keyboard: that meant the writers were going to take over electronic music. And so, we got Switched-On this-and-that and Dancing Snowflakes and all, in just a few years.

What we want for Christmas

The original WD1000 already provides both excellent capacity and performance, but Western Digital isn't sitting idly by - instead, the company is aggressively continuing its campaign to produce a complete line of high-end products with two new offerings. First, the WD1000 is now also available with an 8 MB buffer size, increased from the original 2 MB. Secondly, Western Digital has also introduced a 120 GB drive.

The 120 GB is not particularly exceptional in and of itself, as Maxtor now offers 160 GB at 5400 rpm and IBM is close to releasing their new drive series with capacities up to 120 GB as well, but WD has never really tried to compete in the high-end sector before. Hard drive models from big players such as IBM and Maxtor have typically served as the examples for high capacity and performance in most reviews. Now, Western Digital is pushing their own high-end products, in an effort to improve their reputation.

The 100 GB drive with 8 MB cache could be very interesting for entry-level RAID configurations. RAID controllers supporting Modes 0 and 1 have been around for some time now, but high-end models with RISC chips and support for large caches (e.g. Promise SX6000) are gradually threatening the traditional domain of SCSI drives: servers and workstations. Although IDE drives certainly won't ever be able to replace high-end SCSI drive arrays, they still provide features such as hot-swapping, and thus might possibly gain market share. Whether that's the intention behind the powerful IDE products or not, these new drives make the high-end IDE drives attractive once again.

The Audio SpotlightTM, invented and developed at the MIT Media Lab, is a device which uses subtle nonlinear properties of the air to create an extremely narrow Sound BeamTM. This beam of sound behaves just like a beam of light - 'shining' it at a specific listener allows only that person to hear it, and projecting it against a surface creates an acoustic 'image' at the point of reflection. It is the first device that provides total control over both the location and distribution of high quality sound, something impossible to achieve with traditional loudspeakers.

'...Polisch vodka' The gun disappeared and there
was a click. I strained my ears to listen to the
conversation as the tape reeled on insanely -
radio tuned to a dead station. Outside, the sunbeam
started up - another click, a sharp hiss, bone
on concrete, two seconds to act. '...a lot of dead
ends. And what about the operation?'

Beta Bodega Coalition transmission....bb4.0. Patcha Kutek's long awaited debut on Beta Bodega comes at a time of temporary celebration in Peru. As when this project began the country was under the grip of President Alberto Fujimori, a US and IMF puppet and right-wing dictator. Alongside his henchman Vladimir Montesino, Fujimori managed to bring Peru to new levels of violence against his own citizens and social injustice. Responsible for countless murders Fujimori was finally charged with voter fraud in a third term election he should of not even been in. Currently hiding out in Japan (nationality of his parents), as he fights extradition back to Peru. Patcha Kutek delivers an intricate assault of percussion and raw, primitive electronic sound. Pure darkness, a true reflection of the last decade in Peru. Followed by a comprehensive audio documentary by Tatiana Harrison, a Los Angeles based journalist who was on location during the most crucial times of the most recent election. Limited to 1000.

Well I certainly look forward to that.
I've been a bit away because of school and that.
How would time travel work? The time machine would have to compensate for your location when you travelled backwards/forwards in time. What I'm saying is, if you travelled in time, you would not land on the same spot on the earth. You would end up floating in space, as the earth was or is going to be in a completely different spot than the present. So you'd like, die and stuff, unless you had some form of spatial compensation.

"Boy, is this one secret we’ve been dying to let slip. Irdial : the most mysterious, daring, groundbreaking, mystical label of all is finally...unbelievably...back! After more then 4 years in exile, the label that’s been described by the likes of Aphex Twin and the Fat Cat crew as one of the biggest influences on the shape of the underground music scene makes a long-overdue return."

you're right, mego are genius... and their in house design, tina frank, is as well. although it seems the random styles are designed by 7 different designers. http://www.mego.at/random.js to see who they are...

i have been working on random javascripts recently too. only random images though, so not that exciting. although i have also got a text resizing script which works quite nicely if it weren't for the huge bug (http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=52063) in mozilla which means all my lovely dhtml gets messed up. oh well...
