What if God were one of us.
Good morning my beautiful one. I trust that you are well. I did this Tarot reading for Anya. It was pretty good. I saw some interesting things. Ilya seems to impeded her. Some woman stands over her and prevents her. But in the past was the charitable giving. That is what gives her strength now. She is the four of cups. She rejects it. The nine of pentacles covers her. The 5 of cups crosses her. Beneath her is the Ace of Swords and in front of her is Justice. Surrounding influences were 9 of swords reversed. In friends and enemys there was a page of cups reversed and in hopes and fears the 10 of pentacles reversed. The outcome was the 10 of cups.
So I talked to her last night. I have started being the one to end the call. I like it better that way. In any case we talked for a long time. She told me about how she did not go out with other men because she did not want to make Ilya made. I told her that was terrible. That was like cutting of her leg so that she would not scratch Ilya's finger.
Do you know how I would feel if you fell in love with someone else. I would feel like someone had ripped out my heart and threw it on the ground while pouring hot acid into my eyes, and yet I would be so happy for you. That's really what counts. Who is happy for you when things are going right.
So Doug asked me to write something up and give it to Rich. God. I thought that I should do that anyway. So I guess that I'll work on that. That could be today's main priority. I could read and work on that. It kind of sounds like fun. When I get a list
Sometimes technologies that are weak, immature and clumsy and early adopters are rewarded.
I think that all you need to do is too look at Microsoft. What is Microsoft doing. Microsoft is who is going to loose out the most.
The fact that the question of whether to use MFC or Java exists is interesting.
Java can be part of a document. JavaScript can be part of a document. Director and Authorware productions can be part of a document. It terms of what can be done on the client side, we are very strong. We are not limited to Java. MFC is mature, reliable. MFC is old. This is a business where often times it is the young, unseasoned, unreliable and dangerous technology that carries the day. I think that I need to get a POP server. That is what I need to work on. I think that what I'll need to get is some info on that other stuff. What other stuff. Some more info on that server. Some more info on Domino. POP server.
Flexible. Fluid. It allows a different kind of architecture. It fosters it. I think that it becomes more of an architecture based on intelligent documents. The documents are quite at home on the net. The have intelligence and the ability to communicate. The whole idea behind CORBA was a document centered architecture. You simply place the pieces of functionality where you need them. That is all. That is a great idea. I can go with that. I can make that work.
So what am I trying to do? To just be seen? I don't want my life to be reduced to a series of that kind of game playing.
Olga called me yesterday when I was waiting for a call from Anya. It was fun to talk with her, but I was anxious to get back to Anya. That is too bad. I need more balance.
I read something about people falling in love with their therapists. Because they talk to them so much. Because the meetings are regular and the conversation is intimate. I wonder if we could have some of that happening here.
Right now my head is kind of sleepy. I did not get enough sleep. Writing such a thing makes me nervous. I can't seem to spell. I think that I need more sleep. Why did I wake up so early this morning. I hope that I will be able to work hard today. I worked hard yesterday. I was actually surprised with how much I got done. I will see about today. I need to spend some time writing. I need to get some of those ideas worked out.
Well, I have about 200 words left to write. I don't know, I should probably write more each day. Maybe 1500 words. That might be something to consider. I don't know how many is good. I think that I probably write more than three long hand pages.
Mikki only wanted $500. I don't get it. She said that she knew that I would always be there for her. It seems to me that on some level I knew that it wouldn't work out with her. That is why I chose Natasha. I chose her because I felt it was right at the time. Like now I choose another.
Some more thoughts about her. The X. The enslavement. What did we speak about yesterday. We talked about the stress she was having at work. I urged calmness. Do I need to be more receptive. I need to help her understand. She does need to just talk. Just to let someone hear her. Is there more to it than that? Of course additional information is good, but just to talk about it is good. That is kind of like sex. Just communicating. That is what keeps it all together.
I told her that I wanted to hear Yes. I heard her kind of say it. She couldn't come out and say it with all of her voice. She had to kind of push it out of one corner. And then cover it with a couple of no's. But she liked it. So I should finish that one. Each day I say that I will work on it and I never do. Why is that? I need to reorganize my day if that is going to be the case. I like having Ivan around. He does a lot. I don't know why he wanted to do all of that on Access. Just wanting to develop some skills I guess.
Intelligent Documents.
This really is the way things ought to be done. Documents are the life blood of so many processes that they really do need more intelligence. That is what I like about the web. The documents are intelligent.
