Now I'm just being lazy
Seems like it's very easy to break away from routines for me - just pause for a few days and it's all gone, like confetti in a hurricane. Oh well, nobody seems to be complaining. But whatever, going to keep at it.
There are non-depression related reasons for why there have been no posts. For one, I've significantly upped the search for a job of some kind, and moreover I'm lazily working some more on the blog over at Blogspot. Fine-tuning the code is going to be hard - I'm learning some new stuff as I go - but I'm damn glad that there's the freedom to dig around in it to begin with. Perhaps it's standard, but after the highly proprietary nature of Livejournal, it's a big upgrade.
A bunch of stuff happened over these past week or so. Apparently, it has surfaced that on January 30th, an unidentified object passed in front of the sun. It's apparently a quarter of the size of Earth (how do they know?), and it resolutely could not have been Mercury because Mercury last transited the sun in 2006 and will not transit again until 2016. Wonder what it was.
Wired has published a brief article about DARPA finally beginning to get its shit together with synthbio. I can't fucking wait. This is just a baby step, of course, one of many - judging from the pittance of a budget it has been assigned... Let's not forget that the common sequence of technological advancement is scientific >> military >> industrial >> commercial >> widespread, which means that we're not even close to our glorious biohacker future (or our glorious bio-apocalyptic future).
Also! Here's a resource that I just cannot bear to keep to myself, though it's probably not entirely appropriate to post here. The Big List of Porn is a directory of various non-garbage free porn sites. It also has links to online porn fiction and so forth. All the sites linked there contain no malware, spyware, browser hijacks, link redirects, or bogus content. Obviously the link is NSFW, so don't click it if you don't like/may not view porn. On a related note, Australia has outlawed the depiction of small breasts and female ejaculation, so keep that in mind before clicking if you live in that Jesoid-overrun festering wound on the buttock of planet Earth.
