Failing Media (Part 2 of 2)

Originally published at robohara.com . Please leave any comments there. My other hobby, retrogaming, also suffers from failing media. First, you’ve got old cartridges. Atari 2600 is as far back as I go, and I would group Atari 2600, 5200, Intellivision, Colecovision, and all the other classic systems together. Other than Intellivision carts which seem to have a higher failure rate than ...

I am NOT owning NaNo :/ Tomorrow I WILL get to 14k. (I can't be bothered working out what I'm supposed to have by now, but I'm pretty sure it's more than 15k) Ugh, can't sleep. Cannibalistic fairies will eat me.

Failing Media (Part 1 of 2)

Originally published at robohara.com . Please leave any comments there. When you deal with as much old crap (especially computers) as I do, you start to get a feel for “how long things last.” Some things last longer than you would think.

... seems to Tieria, after all he's learned, that this is why people need one another: to make up for their weaknesses and create one powerful unit. There is a pause while he considers, trying and failing to hide some inexplicable relief that's come over him, moving only when that laughter reverberates against him. "Then I am glad. We can use whatever term is appropriate." Lockon's aim, as it were,...

This is really vague but my Google-fu is failing me. I read a quote a while ago, the gist of it was, 'loving life for the sake of life is unquestionable to those who do, and unimaginable to those who don't.' It was way better written though and that might be quite off. Does anyone know the quote I'm talking about?

Me whining, but you can scroll down

...disappointed with myself right now. I know there are many things that I can't do, and I'm not upset when I don't manage them, but when it comes to things I know I can do and then failing ... Urgh. I'm talking about my annual sports badge for which you have to get certain marks in different disciplines.
