Wow, it has been for­ever since I posted. That Post-​a-​Day 2011 Chal­lenge counter is a joke at this point.

Lately, I’ve been ton­ing down my online pres­ence a lot. Turned up the pri­vacy set­tings on most social net­work­ing (includ­ing acci­den­tally turn­ing off my Face­book Wall). Quit some other sites entirely. Turned on registered-​only read access here, which you know since you are read­ing this. (Although only one per­son has said any­thing to me about the dearth of con­tent on this site. This post is for you, Ali­son W.)

I’m not sure why I’m becom­ing with­drawn online, but I think a big part of it is just the rut of my cur­rent life/​job. I have noth­ing to say, noth­ing to do. I barely even see other peo­ple any­more. And I don’t want peo­ple to see that, so I avoid let­ting them peek through the win­dows, so to speak. I’m not sure if the cur­tains will remain drawn, but the blog­ging part of my life might just be over. As I strad­dle the fence on that, if you want a look at my life, you’ll have to ring the doorbell.

Dark Matter Of The Web

So I finally watched The Social Net­work today. Gave it a 7⁄10 (“Good”) on Jinni.

I have to admit, I was biased against the movie for dar­ing to us my favorite song in their trailer:

I don’t know, but I’m inter­ested to find out how accu­rate the movie (and the book) are, espe­cially the ori­gin sto­ries for both Face­book and Nap­ster. Is all human progress really sub­li­mated sex­ual energy?

Nerdi­est thought that crossed my mind while watch­ing the movie? vim is bet­ter than emacs.

I both love and hate the atten­tion that IP law gets in this movie. I mean, it’s awe­some that IP law plays a part in a major movie, but it’s used as a weapon of jeal­ousy and vengeance, not as a tool of progress.

Any­way, now I just need to watch Black Swan to knock out my Oscars Best Pic­ture catch-​up.

Feel­ing a lit­tle bit out of it this morn­ing. Bit of a mind/​body mis­match, since my body seems to good to go, but my mind is lag­ging behind.

I blame the down­stairs neigh­bors, who must have lit­er­ally par­tied until 7 in the morn­ing. I first woke up around 5 to my pil­low rever­ber­at­ing from bass and had trou­ble falling back asleep since. I thought about call­ing the police. Then I thought about going Bat­man on them. But I’m usu­ally a pretty heavy sleeper, so I thought I’d just slip back into REM and let it be.

It only half worked out, so I’ve been up since 6:30 fix­ing ran­dom nig­gles on my com­puter. In fact, this post is a test of whether I’ve got­ten the Twit­ter -> Face­book con­nec­tion work­ing again.

Any­way, time to get to work. Good thing no one’s safety depends on my higher-​level func­tion­ing this morning.
