The price of the coolest computer monitoring program finally dropped to the very reasonable rate of $12 - so I bought it. Very nice. Having a continual view of my machine's network traffic and CPU load helps to cull the paranoid from the sensible moments of concern when attached to a hostile wireless network. In short, this little application is not only beautiful to look at, not only does it display important information, but it eases my mind as well.
In other news, I am admitting that I am creatively constipated... Well, yes and no. The flood of ideas to my brain are crippling. Greg (my old boss) once said (as more of an insult [?] than anything else as far as I could tell) that I should be working in a think tank. I can't think of a better job. I have more ideas than I could ever develop on my own, and no ability to choose between them - no ability to focus on only one. Dad described this to me once, at the time I didn't understand what it was that he was talking about. Now, I understand what he meant by saying that his brain was "constantly wound-up". There are nights, like tonight, when I have such a desire to create, that sleeping is too difficult to consider; enter the frustration of not having enough skill to implement my ideas.
