#43 Simplicity

I saw a sign on a car the other day. "For Sael"

That's what it said. The sign on the back was fine. I took a photo for myself to prove I didn't make it up.

This next trick is called simplicity. All you do is think happy thoughts. Slight problem though is that for me at least, happy thoughts is fully raytraced realtime overpumped dynamic range graphics.

I've been reading a little about human dynamic range. It's a bit like trying to thread a needle with a sausage. Salami would be more accurate. All the stuff that we could see is rather filtered out until we find ourselves left with a washy notion. It'd be nice to see gamma rays, but I'll still find reasons to complain.

So.

Simple it is. Think happy.

#42 Life in lines

I decided to do up a UML diagram of life thus far. It's helped put a few things into perspective. The only problem is that I'm finding it easier to put in a lot of downers, mishaps and failings as opposed to successes, cheer-ups and lucky days. To be without thought could perhaps be to be without unhappiness. Defaulting to glum seems to be a factory mental setting. That has to be a way of adjusting that. As it stands, perfection would fail to satisfy, especially given the imperfect mind perceiving it.

I'll keep at it, trying not to list any major depressing significant events (e.g sackings, heartbreak, financial loss etc.) It would appear that society has an important role in individual happiness. A society of one is unlikely to be happy.

#41 Time marching onwards

It's been 7 months since I checked GE. I dusted off the old posts and left a short update.

Thusfar I am the sum total of no achievement whatsoever of worth to mankind. Arrested development is mine face in the dictionary. Writing helps, albeit in an impractical way. Where it will end is hard to know.

Happy April Fools day. Conficker.c passed without incident. Within my faculties, day pass, and I estimate less and less ability. I simply do, be, and am. A cursor may blink a thousand times, but patience waits for godot. There is importance here - mark the passing of time in any way possible lest it seem like so much sand in a desert.
