but it would seem I'm unable to stop myself.

I keep thinking I'll stop typing and hit the "cancel new journal" button up there

especially since it would be a second journal in as many days, this would be entirely superfulous....

gaaah
ok
windows 7

I use a Mac G5 at school and had gotten used to the idea of it eing a bit prettier than my laptop, who ran vista, but I'm sticking out staying on windows for my personal machine because it's not just a work machine, I like to run a game occasionally or leech from a lan and I like the versatility that windows gives me.

Windows 7 has changed that
now I don't think I'd get a mac even for a work only machine, it's prettier without it being as much in your face, more customizable and I still get the versatility of windows except with the stability of XP

I can see some issues looming though,
for instance it doesn't even recognise fat32 which is how I've been tranferring to my mac

I did kinda go missing for a while

BUT.... I come back with presents!

been really busy:


I'm in the last days
of my last week
of my last semester
of my last year
of my last school ejdumication


the projects have not been a lot of fun in the last while, mostly because the particular field I was in in this last bit has not really been my cup of tea, I'm not a web designer which has been my focus this last while.

Another thing that has been keeping me somewhat busy has been the birth of a new online community, Legion Ink , it's basically a South African based community for contemporary pop culture artists, specifically illustrators and as of today, game developers. We launched at rAge last weekend, it was amazing how well it went. Drop by and visit us!!

In the same way as I have been absent from DA, I have been absent from art, besides a few things from work, which I can't show, this ink pen has just about dried up, ut as things start running smoothly again I'm hoping to change this.

I lied about presents

seriously.


I'll be ok though. If anything I've done my bit for raising the national immunity level. yay?


for those of you who have not yet done your homework:

The medical fraternity of south Africa reckons that the national infection/immunity rate is around 30% -40% already, despite the WHO having under 2000 confirmed cases, it feels and acts like normal flu and you can treat/avoid it the same way. The difference is that if you get it, it will probably affect you harder than a normal flu since the antibodies are a bit different and you should watch out for a persistent headache combined with fever to know if you actually in mortal danger.

personally I recommend catching it as soon as possible before it mutates or some other rubbish, lol. The vaccine/remedy called Tamiflu, which is all they have for it, is nearly ineffective and all 5 strains of the virus found in SA have already shown resistence to it.


Telkom is finally no longer on strike, or at least they've started answering the phones again. Maybe we can get service, maybe I could even get a phone line and a connection soon, maybe after that we get to find out why they stole over R3000 maybe even get some back. I'm not hopeful on that last point
