Of Rabbit Holes....

[pyat]

... and I'm not talking about momentrabbit.

January 27th is that Livejournal "Down the Rabbit Hole" Day, where you are supposed to post as though you were living in an alternate version of reality. I don't think anyone on my FL did anything with it last year. I'm going to try and remember this year, since I have a dedicated icon and everything.

Also, this past week sort of was bleah. Insomnia, incredibly dry skin, allergies and so on. I crashed serious on Friday. I was unable to concentrate on anything, and had a horrible headache. I ended up spending most of the day in bed, catching up on the sleep I was unable to get in that very same bed the night before. Sigh.

velvetpage and I watched War Games last night, which made me feel thoroughly antiquated. Still, a curiously good movie, and I was struck by how "realistic" it was, at least for Hollywood. Ten years later, Hacker movies would involve slick hipsters blowing up things by furiously typing.

This morning, we designed a kitchen, and got a quote.

I loved how War Games remains such a good movie with the outdated tech.

And I dislike the animated computer representations they put on screen to make programming "look cool"

My ftp program doesn't look like the matrix with raining binary.

*nods!* They had a trailer for a new War Games TV series supposedly coming out, and it looked awful. Slick, attractive 20-somethings with all sorts of stupid graphic interfaces, typing furiously.
