The musings of a programmer
I purchased one of these on a whim the other day after someone on IRC suggested that they were fun. I have to say that he wasn’t wrong… my forearms, hands and wrists ache but I still want to play with this thing. They’re relentlessly addictive!
My top score so far is 11121rpm - I think I need gloves to go any faster than that…
I find this very amusing, and in fact there’s even a Facebook event you can sign up to, to notify people that you’ll be doing the same thing. I was thinking about getting rid of my account anyway as I don’t ever use Myspace any more and find it utterly hideous… I might as well try and send some sort of message by doing it on the same date as a load of other people.
If you have a Myspace account, I strongly urge you to read the blog post linked above and consider joining the cause. Let’s say no to shit CSS styling, spammy adverts and even poor security…
Why oh why did I start playing Planetarion? This game is ridiculously addictive…
That film was fucking awesome.
Kaylee would get it. Many times.

First of all, I hope that all of my readers had a brilliant Christmas, and I wish you all a very happy New Year. I’ve got a few resolutions, but a few of them are personal and so I won’t be bombarding you all with details of them.
One resolution I can tell you about though is my desire to get to work on time from now onwards. Ever since I started this job, I’ve had a persistent problem with getting here on time. I was OK at first as I wanted to make a good impression, but after a couple of months I started to lapse a bit, usually in pursuit of ten minutes more sleep in the mornings. Nobody said anything, so I never gave myself the psychological kick up the arse to actually sort myself out.
The reality was that although people noticed that I was always 5-10 minutes late, nobody ever said anything about it. There were a few jokes made about it but always for a laugh, and management never told me off for it. I’ve always known that my lateness was fairly unacceptable, but I think I was just content with allowing it to happen, provided I could get my extra time in bed in the mornings.
This is not going to happen any more. I have now decided that I will get to work and be at my desk at 9am every day from now on. It can’t do any harm, and getting up earlier will also enable me to have breakfast in the mornings and function a bit better during the day. Here’s to the future!
