...

I guess I should be working on learning some stuff today as opposed to exercising or sorting out relationship stuff??

Biorhythm:   2004.12.23
Physical:    9%
Emotional:   10%
Mental:      98%

The Graph looks like this:

                     P=physical, E=emotional, M=mental
             -------------------------+-------------------------
                     Bad Condition    |    Good Condition
             -------------------------+-------------------------
2004.12.23 : .PE......................|...................M.....
2004.12.24 : ...P.E...................|......................M..

Global Guerrillas

John Robb (of Userland etc.) Global Guerrillas has a very interesting analysis of the ongoing insurgencies and their effect on the global power relations.

One of the very few people who are looking at the ongoing insurgencies in this way. I mean the Iraq, and the Chechen insurgencies. Not to mention the analysis of the currently, steadily ramping up insurgency in Saudi Arabia.

I tend to agree. I think one thread that combines all these insurgencies is "Islamism". I have my theories about the rise of the religious fundamentalism in tradionally Muslim societies. I havent seen anything about Kashmir and Palestine in there, but those are not geo-strategically (read Petro) important insurrections of the Muslim populations. And both seem to be under state control in both examples.

I found this through John Robb's other blog, and I think I'll keep an eye on this blog for a while. I need to put some links (eg; Alireza in the left pane.). I wish using Radio wasn't such a pain. Half these entries on the left bar, I don't even visit any more (salaampax, fucked world, Seth's blog.. who's Seth? is it Set Goldin? what does Seth do? I have no firggin idea.. but I got him on the blogroll.. so much for purpose and focus and all that stuff.. No offence Seth, my dear chap..

and who the fuck still does "warwalking"??? that is so 2002!!

On the Go

Sometimes doing too many things at the same time becomes just that much more impossible.

Right now, I'm trying to..

  • Read "Che, A revolutionary life"
  • Read "The Chronicles of Narnia"
  • Watching a documentary about the Zapatista movement in Chiapas.
  • Trying to Learn Ruby so that I can try to create something useful (but I talk about it all the time)
  • Trying to write a NOVEL.. (not EVEN close..)
  • Design the architecture for a Peoplesoft Automation and Monitoring solution..

    yikes!!

  • GTAB

    I'm trying to get the GTAB category going so I can submit my RSS feed to Rannie. But my older version of Radio is being a pain in the a$$. And I'd be damned if I pay another 40 buckaroos for something that I'm just too lazy to figure out.

    So, this is the first OFFICIAL post for the GTAB "category". Lets see if I can create a useable xml/rss thingy out of it.

    Will someone create a Radio clone already? so it can go with the PYCS server? Now that would be a great idea. Create a PYCS for Radio (or maybe a webbased (ready Ruby based) weblogging community. And so everyone in GTAB gets an account on it and blogs away!!

    neato!!

    Super !!

    Fabulous !!

    Alrighty Then !!

    Sooper Dooper !!

    Shazaam !!

    I'm sure you feel the urge to KILL ME NOW :) but I just can't stop.. I wish I had one of those text writer thingies.. I'm just this awesome writer dude.. I keep writing rubbish..

    it never ends..

    okay .. it ends. NOW!

    Monster

    I've been watching "Monster" on the Movies on Demand. Its kind of hard to watch actually. One issue I do have with this one is the fact that they make her out to be someone who is doing it just cuz she "had to". Even though I like Charlize Theron's acting in that.. I think from a production/Direction perspective, the director has tried to portray the woman as an aberration in the "serial killer" phenonmenon.

    I dunno... I believe in equality of genders.. so I think women are just as capable of being serial killers as men. Stats probably disprove this theory of mine.

    Which is just as well. Nice movie though.

    Narnia

    I have started reading Chronicles of Narnia. At times it feels childish, like "The Hobbit". But I think once we're over the first book, things will improve tremendously. Is it an "epic" on the same scale as JRR's trilogy? I don't know yet. Right now I just find it interesting.

    I'm also reading up on OO stuff using Ruby. Lets see what happens. My hibernation is about to start. Things to do:

    Cleanup Apartment
    Write a 50k word novel.
    Learn Ruby
    Write a community site package using Ruby on Rails.
    
    Well 0 out of 4 ain't bad now is it?
