sat9jan99 ---------------------------------------------------------- today was a good day and a sunny day. we went to work on the weekend and had a field day. even though rene doesn't work there anymore finally fixing once and for all that "add third slash here and be done" bug the update of which we have now thrown away 3 times in the span of more than 3 months through the abject communal misuse of a piece of shit chastity belt microsoft-owned known as visual source save but not us ever again, not this bug, not anymore. naturally i treated for a feast at a persian restaurant naturally we ate way too much and then dessert. my idea. naturally this was required ceremonially naturally we live digitally eat with fingers too when called upon. but reality is analog computed and di-spirals on. too few know the joy of work well done because they have no work either any or any that can be well done. too few know of feasts eaten in ethnic restauranten _smile_ devoid for a moment of any awareness that somewhere not too far people are homeless or subhomed hungry and poor or subfed. a crystal (so oscillating at multihundred megahertz) of slipper-instant comfort this this present obliviousness and that.
