Actually, I'm glad for any scrutiny, either purposed or OCD such
as yours which matches my own. I always assume scrutiny, but
really there are only four people who have seen these pages.
Usually they always look at it just before my newest
update...pretty frustrating.

He has a scanner in the office, and I traded him a USB cable for
an adjustment. I don't know if he ever got it connected to his
computers. When I set up his web site for him, I did it because I
thought he was pretty much a computer geek and would love fucking
around with it once it got going, but it turns out he just knows
how to use E-bay. I don't know a thing about that, so it sounded
like evolved computer skills. However, that's about all he knows
about computers...which is a condition I admire greatly. I don't
think he has felt a great desire to get his scanner up and
running. Plus he might have thought I was just trying to get rid
of the responsibility of running over to pick up the hard copy.

Not a thing. I barely know anything about my OWN bike, except it
makes my legs hurt. By the time I get to my bike, I'm trying to
know as little as possible about anything except where the next
hill is.
I'm too involved trying to figure out how to program computers so
they can save me time. I'm so lazy, I'll spend three months of
programming just to save 15 seconds in adding three numbers
together. That probably sounds like a joke, but it's just a
statement.
Currently, I'm spending three months putting together something
Dan Buckley might use once, so I don't have to think whether or
not it is Tuesday, while wondering whether or not the Harriman
ride is going to happen. And if not, where might I like to ride
otherwise. Really stupid.
But while I'm at it, I might just as well do it for everybody else
in the world at the same time. That's how computers work best.
Doing something just for oneself is just a total waste of time.
Making sure you allow for others to use it is even more of a waste
of time, but it's the only logical course of action.
Shit, now look what I wrote. I guess I'd better post it.
At least I'll save myself from having to hit the
SEND button. -b
