*yawn* It's 2 AM. I dunno what to tell you, my readers. Perhaps you could tell me what interests you. That would make for an interesting JF sometime in the future. People I talk with are sometimes interested in what I'm doing. But really, it's all the same. Nothing really changes dramatically from one day to the next. Very simple, silly things happen each day, but it's hardly worth you reading this thing. It is worth writing it if I can find the strength, because I feel that there's something intrinsically good about information. Not just that it exists, but also that it can be accessed. Something that exists and is not accessible is not worth much. But having access to information makes a human being into more than just a human being. Some information is better than others. Some information can be reproduced at a million copies per minute. Some information has very little reproducability, but is accessible in such a way that produces good results. This is the way of information, and it is good. Many humans on Earth have spent the last century working on means of communication that lends itself to extremely good uses of information. For certain types of information where reproducibility is unwanted, high bandwidth communications are easily and cheaply made (telephones). Some types of information needs very little bandwidth, but very high reproducibility, cheapness, and mobility, so printing presses have been made. When the digital computer came about, data could be used and reproduced at the speed of electrons. But communication was not easy enough, so diskettes and modems were fashioned from electronics and telephones. This is the way of information, and it is good.

I wrote a very long essay yesterday, but did not post it because I lacked a picture. I also didn't do much of worth yesterday. My 22nd birthday is 2 hours away, so I'll post this VIDEO! It's 11 seconds. Download the low quality version [513.1 kB] or the high quality version [1.5 MB] As usual, you need the DivX Codec to view these videos. I could encode these into XviD if I wanted to, but I didn't, so there you go. People complained about the previous movie that it was far too short such that they could not even watch it. If your player has a loop button, use it. If it doesn't you're stuck with an 11 second video this time. 11 seconds is not extremely short. You follow Jav, you look at the building, you see EG1, you see the logo. If it were 5 minutes long with the same content, I'm certain viewers would complain about it lacking plot, character depth, and interest. Also, the file would be more than a few MB and you don't want that.

Greetings, this JF should not be here, but it is. Why? Because a certain motherboard has crashed fatally. But I am strong in the force and I have brought you not just something simple, but something cool despite the lack of a working motherboard for my main workstation. I'm writing this on my Sony Vaio laptop. It's a nice little thing, big keyboard, high resolution, and the willingness to work. It runs Windows. It's one failure I wish to rectify, but cannot because I lack a CDROM or floppy drive for this thing. Anyway, I like it how it is now, typing a rant in Notepad just like back in the day.

Download Song13b1 It's my new song. You need Winamp or XMMS. You do not need the patented MP3 decoder because Song13b1 (and all songs from now on) is compressed with the superior ogg vorbis format (Redhat users rejoice*).
