Work is hectic.
Coding a like a lot (at least it feels like it).

I'm lucky to be online almost all the time at work.
In between I have been checking out Orkut a lot.
Really enjoying the experience so far.

I'm disturbed by my unconscious mind's -not so hidden- agenda.
I find myself drawn to the she-geeks/she-nerd/girls with glasses topics.
And I've noticed that if I check a profile (or a blog or a webpage) it
is almost always a female one.

I've obviously been single WAY TOO LONG.
(It is really a shame that all of these really interesting women are so geographically far away).
I'm in Johannesburg South Africa.
Anyway.

I'm very interested in the way social presence on the internet seems to have changed.

Everyone has a photo (or an avatar).

I'm disturbed by the fact that I'm evaluating people according to what they look like (ancient wetware
is good at that).

I remember when AOL joined the internet there was a sudden "racism" that depended
on your email address. A lot of AOL people joined, had no idea of netiquette, seemed quite rude
and (for a while at least) earned anyone with an aol in their email address a bad name.

BTW
does netiquette still exist?

We had a successful internal demo of our product (Synap-c) for our MD.

He was satisfied.

Now scenarios of doom can disappear.

Yeah!!

Now we can sleep.
