Cziltang wanders the trackless wastes in search of truth, beauty and personal enlightenment. He had tried to be self-sufficient, growing his own ideas, but they withered and died in the great intellectual drought that gripped the land in his youth. One day, as he gazed at the parched landscape around him, he realized that somewhere there must be ideas growing. Somewhere, rational discourse must still survive. Since that day, he has searched for a mythical land of fields and forests of living ideas. Now and again he finds a thought or two in the rubble of an occasional deserted outpost of civilization. Its a hard way to live and its not much of a life, but that's just how it is, out here in the Ratlands |

No news
link Lots of stuff going on out here in the Ratlands. I'm in one of those time frames where there is so much happening and so much I could write about that I can't seem to get to any of it. The main thing driving me at the moment is some problems we have been having with the public mental health system. I've got a bigger post in the works, but for now I'm just fuming. When I cool off a bit it will be time to write. One side note, I spent part of this evening installing and configuring Pegasus E-mail on the home computer. I'm just getting tired of the seemingly weekly announcements from Microsoft about the latest security vulnerablility they've finally gotten around to patching. I also read an article at The Register a few days ago (sorry, I don't have a link to the article) that suggests that Redmond will be "de-emphasizing" Outlook Express in hopes of getting people to buy Microsoft Office for the full Outlook package. So, being contrarian, I downloaded Pegasus. I've been using it this evening, and it seems to be working just fine.by Cziltang Posted: Friday, August 22 2003 01:20:22 AM
Weekend Wrap-up
link Not much of a weekend, all-in-all. It's tough to feel good about spending the weekend dozing off. EPL Fantasy League results: I finished week 1 at 547th out of 683 active players. I was happy to see Portsmouth win their first game back in the upper division in something like 14 years. Teddy Shearingham is one of my sentimental favorites, and I'm glad to see he's hooked up with a team he can help.by Cziltang Posted: Sunday, August 17 2003 11:42:38 PM |
