Not my finest hour
I totally messed up this weekend. I spent the whole time on my own, trying to fix that RAID array, and pissed off at least two groups of people I was supposed to meet up with. The computer's finally all working as of 0130, but I can't possibly charge for all the time I spent. I hate being beaten by problems, is the thing, and I have a bad habit of taking it personally when I can't figure things out. But this was just silly, and I crafted a situation with no upside. Damn it.
Outraged over average-speed cameras
Overheard this afternoon:
They want to put cameras up between the motorway junctions, so if your average speed is over the limit you'll get fined. Isn't it outrageous! There are so many more things they could be doing. I'll just stop at the services and have a cup of tea.
It's curious that the laws the police apparently needn't enforce happen to be those this man wants to break.
I've previously blogged my opinions on anti-speed-camera campaigners (I find them pathetic) and won't rehash them here. But the above is particularly amusing, because average-speed cameras wipe out many of the common whinings - they wouldn't cause 'emergency braking', for example - yet campaigners are still opposed to them. How very transparent.
Hello!
Hey, thanks for coming! I'm Andrew, and this is where my headthinks come to breed. They often meander around humanism and photography, but they're flighty and you can't trust them, so anything is possible.
Do feel free to email me - I get lonely:
Your hair looks swish, by the way - have you done something new?
