It's the hardware.
Forget about the desktop, there's too much reliance on productivity suites, accountancy and identity stuff. However an open-source health OS for all the expensive machines, that do something important, based on universal standards, security and upgrade procedures may well stop the next disaster reoccuring and all the locked in bullshit. Why would you want to use a desktop OS (that's another argument) on a single function (within pathological terms) anyway. You could even offer tax incentives to software providers for helping society...

Must Try Harder Again
Following on from the dressing up incident, I've decided that there's now nothing to aim for. If at the pinnacle, even the parties on hallowed turf are crap, then something must be going wrong. But then again if you believe any of that then, you haven't been invited. Its called Cake and yes, I've got an early start too.

Its me noggin not me peepers.
I'm starting to think that there's no such thing as consciousness, its merely a trick of the imagination or a combination of learnt behaviour and stimulus. For example, I can program a text conversation to a close family member outside of computing who would not be aware they're talking to a machine. Then there's another friend, who recently lost an eye to a tumor, does he still dream stereo-scopically? #answersonapostcard

Le Courriel
I reckon this sort of thing will be going on for a while. I'd open some international branches close by and start acccepting euros. First port of call in any new place, tend to navigate by them instead of the tube. You never know the magic credit fairy may well return. #wishtheAteamhadamaplinsepisode #undernierepourlaroute

Le Stereotype Impossible
It's the ladies. At school it was Chun Li and joysticks. A-Levels was science, so no go. At Uni, I wore a dress in class as hadn't started shaving and it made the other lads feel better. Now it's happening in France. I'm not saying I'm upset, just a little bit miffed. Should have practiced something else....#stillworsethanFB
