Comfortably numb.

Tada.
This weekend has been a three-day bonanza in playtime with computers. Well worth it though it had its share of annoyances. What to say, since i spend eight hours a day five days a week trying to interact with humans i might afford myself the privilege of disappearing into the non-human interactive realm for the weekend. Though i`ll admit that i at times feel it very necessary to have somebody to speak of my doings with. Of which there is only one i know who operates on a somewhat similar technological plane.

The thunderbird + truecrypt + dropbox project ended up as a light fail. Everything works, but i`m just not certain i want to wait an hour for everything to settle every time i close my email program. On a 10Mbit upstream it wouldn`t have caused a hassle, but with 60kb/sec it`s just not worth it. Nice to finally have done it, though. And i can live with only having one of my computers operating as an email-storehouse.

Other than that my brain is now thoroughly mushed by countless hours of listening to Headphone Commute and Kahvi. It was kinda funny, when i came home friday some funk was playing on the radio. Dear goodness how much better that made me feel right then. I should probably do some extensive funk-therapy after i`ve ground my way through HC&K. Some -serious- funk-therapy!
Should be fun! :)

I`ve been reading too little this weekend though. I am still churning through Reamde, which is fun, but too much Clancy and not enough technology. The three-hundred-page-action-sequence is waaaay to much. And the unwinding of that part of the story is mind-boggingly boring and inconsequential. Seriously, T`Rain and the global economy just sort of disappears around page 230 and is never heard from again. Bloody boring. Well written, by all means, but still, a Clancy novel without any real nerve to its goings on. (For now, i still have to trudge through another four-hundred pages. And oh shameful me, i probably will!) Please let there be some sort of turning point because if this novel spends the next four-hundred pages chasing Jones before he commits "acts-of-airplane-evil"tm against america then i`m just gonna be bored. Terrorists and airplanes, yeah well, i guess they did have their tenth anniversary for that just now.
