Mental handicap
General February 22nd, 2005
When I’m browsing around the Internet and I find things that interest me, it’s not uncommon for me to bookmark them (either locally or to del.icio.us) or to email them to myself. I send newsgroup posts to my email alot if I want to followup on them outside of the newsgroup thread – visit a website, contact someone, etc. I guess the main reason I do that is it’s easier to track in my email – once a message is marked as read, it’s not always as easy to find in a discussion. So I mail them to me and move on.
And then I hear the new mail noise and I excitedly go check my inbox. (Face it, if I’m reading newsgroups I’m looking for the “mental escape” or “smokebreak.”) Then I’m disappointed when it’s just an email from me. That I sent 30 seconds ago. And immediately forgot doing.
And I do this all the time. I must be handicapped.
More to come soon – been very busy with work. I’ve turned off trackbacks on the site because I’m tired of the spam. Must look into upgrading to WP1.5 soon and see if its tools are better.
PS. Bill Self’s recruiting class is doing excellent for us – undefeated with twenty-seven wins. I wonder if he ever regrets leaving….
About
there’s a real positive thing … “I must be handicapped.”
Well, if you had just lost three in a row, your fourth of the season, and your next game was at Oklahoma State, wouldn’t you wish you were back with a 27-0 team?
This is completely off topic and points at how utterly lazy I am, but humor me… can you please automatically redirect www-dave.cs.uiuc.edu to your blog? I don’t want to have to go in and change my darn bookmark.
But KU was “tired” monday night. Roy W’s teams have always been well conditioned. Bruce complained about our conditioning last year. It’s amazing it only took 2 years for KU to get unconditioned.
Awww, I was hoping for four in a row.
Almost. UNC almost upset, too. Guess we’re outright Big1T1en champs, too. Go Bruce!
