Felt like drawing something real quick. :)

Just look out the window, you'll see I'm telling the truth.

I was sleeping last night, only I couldn't sleep, left the window open all day and night and still I woke up a bit after twelve with a choking 24°C in the room, can't believe some people actually have such a temperature constantly, I'd shrivel up and disappear pretty quickly. Not even with all the sheets off, on the floor, after pouring a glass of water on my head, could I drift away into peaceful dreams. And when I finally managed to fall into a plentiful of dreams I woke up freezing, at four, I chill.

Ugh, love summer, don't love this house, it sucks in heat like you're sucking in air right now, all the time, relevantly unstoppable by natural measures.

Anyhow, I went to visit my buddy Bear today, took the train there and back, stopped for lunch - walk - movie, a nice break from the otherwise immense flow of studies I'm living with at the moment. I figured I'd get my websites sorted out today, instead of getting them fixed tomorrow, or any other day. It's going good. I'm porting old blogs, going through files, fixing URLs, catching print-screens for the stuff page, and moving over the the old DBR to a new domain, on a new VPS, where I suppose the bandwidth will start to rise pretty high eventually. Guess which? Which domain, I mean. I'll give you $10 if you figure it out before the move is over and I post about it, no joke, I'd be pretty amazed if you do manage to figure it out! The move will probably take a couple of hours, I'd give an hour of my valuable hours for info on how to delete files quickly through an FTP client. Can't figure it out. You would think that deleting files is done in the blink of an eye, why should such a primitive task take so long time?

Oh, and only one guess per person. ;)

New post in 2-3 hours.

Sometimes it feels like CyberD doesn't have an identity, as if the bigger it gets the more of a mess it makes, as if it's like a breeze that sweeps over, one that dusts things up, that I can't clean, that is unseen, that is still fresh and unrated, creative.

It's steaming outside. If you didn't see the ground you'd think you were in the chimney of a sauna, hot air rushing up towards your face, gushing out, bouncing of the ground as if it was flubber. I see an oasis in the distance, but it's just a hallucination, hallucination by the heat. Illusion.

Amidst this confusion I'm trying to take a walk.

I'm walking by an artificial lake and I'm tempted to throw myself into it's helm of water. All I can think about it what it would feel like to swim in that mass of wavery blue. Like a magnet it pulls me, but my own will is strong, and I'm pulled to the other side as well, and the sprinklers posted across the golf course. I'm tempted to leap into their slippery grasp, but my will still holds.

The ground is dusty, the sky is too blue, the birds circle, even the seagulls seem hungry for my flesh. I imagine it's a wasteland, the apocalypse. And what were they saying about global cooling? Myth. Fiction. Fantasy.

The world is a hearth.

I feel like toast.

Today.

Feels like I'm doing the same things over and over. Writing about things that aren't worth a mention, that I'm not really interested in writing about, the same things over and over again. If I write that I just looked out the window and the sun was shining today, great weather for a walk, I'd already be saying the same thing once more. Though I really feel great, and am looking forward to a great walk under burning rays of wonder, I'm much less compelled to post about it.

And why is that? Is my life so utterly boring that I don't have anything to post about? Am I stuck in a loop that I can't get out of, repeating the same everyday events every day, just living the same way as I have been living the past three years, interest expiring?

Each day doesn't feel dull. Some are hectic, some are more fun than others, but I'm not depressed, I'm not less content with the current situation now than I was a year ago, and though the current scheme of life may seem repetitive at times, it isn't, it just isn't worth posting about. It's nothing you would be interested in reading, and thus nothing I should spend my time writing about.

Contrary to what people may think, blogs aren't diaries anymore, you can't just write out your day, any day, and expect people to read it with interest mumbling things like "Aha, he didn't eat muesli today" or "and why did he go left instead of right on the morning promenade?". Stuff like that just doesn't cut it, it's not something I'd ever write about. Even in my normal diary (yes, I keep one off line) I get tired of posting the same things over and over, with no new perspectives to add. I don't like posting the weather, temperature, and events of the day in a summarized fashion. I like filling whole pages with how I experienced the day, not really just what happened.

Is this what separates the common folks from an author? I'm not trying to set myself above others, I just want to know, maybe an element of life as small as this can define which path I am to take in life. Is this a good trait? A lack of interest in being repetitive? A lack of interest in the details that mean much but still don't seem more? It would be nice knowing.

Regardless, at times I feel like posting about things of common interest, and when there are no things of common interest in my life to post about, I'm left with either media or fiction. I don' t know if you're sick of hearing about Mondays and sunshine, but I am currently sick of writing about them, so today I've done something different, I've written a post like I should post, one that gives me something for posting it. Outlet, gain, and momentum.

No connection there, just two topics I decided to stuff into a single blog.

I played through Donkey Kong Land today, to 100%, and I threw together a quick FAQ/reference for the game here. There's no walkthrough, but I don't think you'll need it, or rather - I don't have the time to write it. Hope it's of use to someone. The HeroCore FAQ is nearing completion too. I beat the game, so the page just needs a quick revising before it's done.

In other news, the spam comments just started raining in! You haven't seen them, but the admin panel has been overflowing with them. Did something revolutionary happen in the science of avoiding Captcha and other simple bot-removable utilities lately? What have I missed? Anyhow, new firewall in the form of a plugin installed, so I shouldn't have any trouble with anymore. I've used Akismet earlier, but haven't needed anything more than a simple Mathematical Captcha on this blog so far, now I'm trying another newer yet seemingly very effective product, SpamFree. So far (5 min, 37 seconds, maybe) it's worked wonders, 3389 spam comments blocked.

Nah... I'm just kidding, it's not that bad yet.

In continually relevant news, I've made a FAQ for Tetris 2 too. It's in .txt format for submission to various communities, but it should be up in the stuff section sooner but probably later. There is currently no complete FAQ for Tetris 2 online, actually there is no FAQ at all for the game, so hopefully it'll be pretty useful.

That's all for today, till Tuesday!
