Distance and conversion
I’m guessing by now that if I have noticed my reduction in human-contact hours then the rest of the world must think that i’ve abandoned them all. I’m not really sure if I have the right answer at this moment as to why i’ve become so shy, but I do know that I need to get to the bottom of it and soon as i’m about to venture off on holidays.
I’m guessing that the status quo that I know and love is going to be upset. Not that I don’t want it be upset, more the fact that i’ve found a certain comfort level, and as you know it’s very difficult to break out of those patterns even if you see the advantages of the newfound behaviour.
I haven’t been there for either Eve or Matt lately, and it pains me, though I haven’t taken any real actions to rectify the situation. Currently all I can do is apologise to these two, attempt to reassure them that i’m not ‘not’ sticking around, i’m just going through a phase and I need to get my shit together and work out why i’m so distant from everyone.

I’ve passed on the feedback (thankyou to those who commented/e-mailed me!) and will see how the second incantation arrives to my inbox. (we’re talking about the upgrade of my website here in case you hadn’t guessed!) Since I published my first ideas, i’ve come up with a myriad more, still however sticking to the theme of ‘less is more’ and the minimalistic approach with the written word being the focus of the site. The fact that’s there’s any dependence on this writing is amusing at best, and disgraceful at worst.
But you know me, keep plugging away at it. It’s not one day that makes a story interesting, only when you have depth of character(s) do you really start to enjoy the tale.
I hope most of you stick around to see wher the next turn heads, because I know that it’s going to be a very big year for all of us!

I think i’m going to convert.
Yes.. J has convinced me that …. … hmmm… ok.. maybe not 
….. girls still have breasts right? 
No, my next move is to (shock, horror).. buy a Mac. Now before you all start burning me at the stake, i’ve started to give this some serious thought after playing around with the iTunes package over the past weeks. (mind you, that’s not my only logic, i’ve always had a desire to get one and see how they go)
But when I sit at home for hours on end and only complete the following tasks:
- iTunes
- E-Mail
- Blog reading (and some other websites)
- Blogging for sciron.org
- MSN Messenger
and downloading some music files, I realised that I was the perfect person to be doing an upgrade to OS X.
Essentially I want something that’s rock solid stable, ridiculously easy to setup, run and maintain and completes the above tasks efficiently.
I don’t need a PC to do those things.
My next purchase was going to be a DVD burner. Then I realised that to upgrade my burner, I should just go all out and upgrade the guts of the machine. So from there I started the logical assumption that I could sell this for sub-$1000 and invest $2,000 in a new 17″ iMac (you know the ones with the tiny round base and swivelling monitor) with a DVD burner, Microsoft Office and all the trimmings that i’ll need and keep it for 3 years.
If I do that then i’ll end up spending less than continually upgrading my PC. And lets face it folks, reading e-mails and the odd (text-based) blog + listening to music aren’t suddenly going to explode overnight where I need some shit-hot 5GHZ machine.
So I think that’s what i’m going to do.
Wish me luck!
Loving all your work
