Haven't added a single word here in slightly over 2 weeks now.
It also means I've not been looking closely enough at things to get that "Wow! Amazing!" thought/feeling for slightly over 2 weeks.
But I pondered what someone has recently blogged about. The idea was that instead of offering solutions to someone's problems, comfort them instead.
I think that doing so is quite wasteful.
I see it like this.
Why waste resources procrastinating and avoiding the problem?
I'd rather offer a solution and help where I can, even if it may piss my friend off, and even if it doesn't completely eradicate the problem.
Because at least I tried to help, and if I had just provided temporary comfort, I'd be no better than an extra stiff drink.
(Note that my definition of friend is very narrow)
I stay true to my word even if it may put me in an embarrassing situation or some other disadvantage.

The focus of the past few weeks was organizing, clearing and moving a lot of stuff in my cave. Stuff like that crappy porcelain painting that is, according to my mum, antique.
Having no internet at home doesn't help. The office still has, but then again, there isn't much time to use it, and lots of coding is blocked. Thus I haven't been adding any/many comments except on the pages of a lucky/unlucky few.
But it's good too.
I spend more time reading, and not just newspapers, magazines and fighting books anymore (though still a lot).
And I'm waking up earlier on weekends, which is great because I tend to get more stuff done in the earlier parts of the day.
