Allow me to introduce my current MSN display name: “Smile,” they said, “things could be worse.” ... they were right -- it did get worse.

Sigh. It must be nature's calling not to allow me to finish this project. However, I am determined to finish it -- I have ducted-tape quite a bit of “resources.” Now I am tired, I need sleep... but must continue onwards. I got to slaughter this VS.NET crap out of my machine. Right now, I am uninstalling it -- all of it. I am much more happier coding with notepad. The only problem is that I need a debugger and everything is falling apart. Also, the local forums are filled with little bug holes... I just lost a good fifteen minute of “steam” into a post only to be lost when I submitted the post.

One thing that has gone right is that I landed a job. A very nice pay (for me) which will be renegotiated after three months. And the best of all: the company that I will be working for seems really cool in terms of flexibility and the enviroment. I think that I am really going to enjoy myself there... the problem that I am still stuck with: how do I get there? :-P. My current options are to spend four hours on the “road” (actually, most of the time will be waiting for connection buses) or allow someone to drive 120km a day. And to make matters worse, no one can easily penetrate into the Bluff area just to pick me up because the major on and off ramps are under construction... so may I ask a hypotheorectical question without any “whys”? Why is everything working against me?
