“My life is all of a sudden difficult because fojar’s down…”
– Annie
Yes, it’s been an exciting week for Fojar. First, the virus crashes the router, cutting the connection, then Steve finds out that Fojar was hacked, necessitating a reinstall, and then he finds out that the ongoing downtime is the result of USWest deciding to delete that DSL account that Fojar is using.
And it’s been a busy week for me as well. Between trying to load fojar and my email every five minutes, I managed to get quite a bit of stuff done. I scanned some photos of Gavin, the one-year old Annie and I hung out with in Ellensburg all last year and posted them to my homepage. Then I succumbed to peer pressure and created a new hammerspace strip, so you can all stop sending me hate mail.
I also completed two “new” skins for Rusted. I put new in quotes because I actually made these designs two years ago for Hatelife v.1. They got implimented about a week before the crash that led to the creation of Hatelife v.2. One is a nice black-and-white design with lightweight graphics called “distress,” and the other is a colorful text-only design called “blue text.”
And, in case that wasn’t enough, I also have been working on my weekly art project. I’ll be getting it online pretty soon, but I wanted to show off the most recent piece. While looking at a photo of the three agents from the Matrix, I realized that I had head shots of Miles, Steve and myself at the right angles. A little photoshopping later, I managed to produce this lovely image of Agents Havelka, Johnson and Vandehey.
Hehehehe… I like the way you call it "the virus." As though everyone knows which virus you’re talking about. Or even which router. Or even anything you’re blathering on about. :) It occured to me a couple days into the outage that I have no forms of contact with you or Steve in the event of a Fojar outage. I agree with Annie’s quote wholeheartedly.

Wow. If I could spend half as much time whining as I do, I could probably be that productive.But then, if I could get enough motivation, I could find a new job in a day, as it is it takes me a couple weeks on average.Kind of frightening, how nonchalantly I say "on average" regarding finding a job. It’s become such a commonplace state for me. Seems like at most times for the past six months I’ve been looking for one job or another. Probably the worst state a person can be in.And of course, that begins the endless repetitive cycle of being depressed about not getting a job, so you sleep in instead of facing up to your unemployment, and then you beat yourself up for sleeping in, so you’re exhausted from mental anguish, so when you try and wake up you’re too tired to face up to your unemployment so you sleep in and then you scream at yourself for sleeping in and so on.I know there’s a job out there for me. I just have to find it.
