Something’s Coming

April 17th, 2004

Could it be? Yes, it could.
Something’s coming, something good,
If I can wait!
Something’s coming, I don’t know what it is,
But it is
Gonna be great!

I’m getting the feeling that good things are starting to happen around me and that it’s all for a purpose. Today I went to my cousin’s sixth birthday party and the sister of one of his friends was on her way to an acting class. My ears pricked up upon hearing this and I pushed my way into the conversation. Turns out she’s quite passionate about theatre, particularly musicals and was very excited when I told her I was planning on staging a musical. We spoke for about half an hour or so and I’m really quite excited about how passionate she is about the theatre. It’s always great to have people that dedicated on any team so I’m really hoping she does wind up involved with my musical plans in one way or another.

I’ve also finished the first draft of the musical I’ve been writing. It still needs a few songs to be written but the storyline and dialogue is now complete. I’ll also have to spend a fair bit of time going back over the dialogue to make sure the characters are consistent right throughout the show - some of them change personality a little unnaturally as the show progresses. All very exciting.

There’s been a lot of other little things that have been happening lately as well that’s all helping the musical come together.

I’m more excited than ever to really push forward with this musical now - I think a lot of good is going to come out of it and hopefully form the basis of a top quality production company.

Going Too Far

Okay, Microsoft have officially gone too far now.

That’s my C drive, it’s where I put my stuff. It’s mine. It is not, has never been and should never be a Windows system folder. Not to mention the fact that hiding files like this does not make the interface easier to use, it just introduces another mode that confuses users and makes users panic because they’re in some cryptic part of the OS that they shouldn’t be in.

Fix the damn OS so it’s not so easy to inadvertantly break - don’t just hide the entire hard drive from the user.

It’s True…

Which OS are You?

Brian McCallister got me started on this. Apparently he’s slackware. I’m Palm and everything it says is so true it’s scary.

Update: I have to point out this:

if you ended up with GNU/HURD it
means you didn’t answer all the questions.
