HippyCentral

This XKCD comic’s title text was so profound, it made me post here.

“I never trust anyone who’s more excited about success than about doing the thing they want to be successful at.”

That phrase needs to be printed on mugs, T-shirts, posters, and every damned wall of every middle-management training room in the world.

I added a new page to the site – ‘cos I keep being asked about my “movie list”.

Go here to read it: http://www.hippycentral.org/movielist

Seriously…do I look like I want extra traffic to this site?

Or do I look stupid enough to pay for whatever link farm scam you have going?

Get lost f##kbag.

Go find a Rapidweaver user to rip off. They’ll be dumb enough to believe your bull.

(of course, I didn’t actually send the mail….that would be offensive – I just gave a link to this post instead)

No, I don’t.

:p

Ok, as any of my long suffering readers know, I get a fit of posting frenzy, then I get bored for a while…then i post…etc.

This fit is prompted by some very lovely comments from someone who has obviously sat reading through all my posts from the last couple of years – in order.

Unfortunately, because I’m rubbish and don’t really publish too many details about me (or am I just paranoid?) then he kinda got the wrong end of the stick about many things – such as my name!!

James – I’m talking to you! My name is Jim, I live in the UK, and many of the posts in this “blog” (for want of a better term) are either just jokes, or sarcasm riddled musings. Despite appearances I’m pretty happy in my job (most of the time – but where’s the fun in just being happy always?) and I’m not dying of some weird illness because I never see a doctor

On my home PC I run a dual boot set-up of Windows XP (and it *is* a registered copy) with Kubuntu Linux. I’d get rid of the Windows altogether given the choice – but my wife’s pretty…. (hippy pauses while working out how to say this which won’t result in bruising when she reads it)….used to windows, but not geeky enough to get into Linux (hippy breathes a sigh of relief – did I make it? – we’ll see when she reads this). Not only that but I’m not enough of a geek to get the 3d support working on my setup (it’s a whole complicated mess of ATI cards, bad partition management and being too lazy to try) so I need the Windows partition to feed my Second Life addiction. “One day” I’ll sort it all out and dump the ‘dows.

Anyways, thanks so much for reinvigorating this tired old site with some new comments – it was a pretty cool excercise (and a cringe-making one) to go back and read some of my old posts so i could understand your comments in context.

Here’s to your next batch!

Common sense is what tells you the world is flat.
