#170 let me at least have this, you are such a selfish bro.
June 30th, 2010 |Jared’s log, Wednesday.
Um it is actually 1am. I will write this ‘news post’ in the morning. I can no longer read the words I am typing. I do not know if I am even at my computer or in my house. Maybe I am already asleep! That would be strange. Anyway, I have more to say, I just cannot ‘find the words.’ I will update this before noon.
Later-time addition:
So far this Wednesday does not feel terribly wednesday-y, which I think is probably ‘a good thing.’ But the welcome absence of [job] is ’somewhat dulled’ by whatever demon has ‘taken control’ of my network card. I am on an Apple computer, and everything on it is breaking and it ‘crashes’ a lot more than any computer running Windows 7 could possibly hope to.
It only consistently ‘notices’ my router if I use my Apple-branded router. Every other connection makes my computer say (with ‘body language’), “This device did not cost 300 goddamn dollars; I will not connect to such a lowly machine!” I guess there is a class-system in place I did not know about. This is a thing my network card has made a regular (read: every minute) occurrence: I cannot type an address into the address bar of my browser because if I do, it will not do anything ‘useful.’ But if I click a link or bookmark, it will connect to a web site. Seems arbitrary.
The last 5 months, ‘give or take,’ it seems like Apple has been working a personal ‘campaign’ to try to get me to never buy any Apple products again. Maybe they are trying to get me to go to their store to have both of my broken apple computers fixed ‘roughly’ 14 months after I bought them. But they will have to ‘try harder.’ I am looking at an ‘empty husk’ of a PC in the corner, which needs hard drives, video card, and power supply, and it is looking very appealing.
I hope your Wednesday is pleasing you as much as can be hoped or expected.

your...whole robot is made of diamond.
I find this exciting! However, I hope that these robots are not destined to fight, because the diamond robot cannot be scratched…
i think maybe nobody stands a chance against him in a “physical phight” (um, branding, yo), but his brains are also diamonds, so i think it might be possible to outwit him. maybe get him trapped in some sort of diamond container which can then be delivered to a diamond prison. this sounds like a really expensive bro to catch.
My idea is to get a very good catnapper-for-hire and catch that ‘bot that way
You have to choose someone you trust, because the temptation to keep ~275 kg of diamonds for oneself might be fairly overpowering.
