It's sure been a while, the computer went down for a freak reason still unknown to me and that took me three whole weeks to fix, consuming precious weekends and days on leave which would've otherwise been spent, well, doing nothing particularly productive anyway. Good thing my work's still intact, even after making the stupid mistake of not backing it up before attempting to repair WinXP thinking it'd all proceed smoothly, which led to some indefinite measure of inconvenience in the process of trying to recover that which was on the disk drive. I ended up having to reformat part of the disk regardless, but it isn't all too bad either to have this fresh start just as the year is coming to a close; finally installed a genuine copy of Windows plus a whole bunch of updated software, and at the same time actually learnt quite a bit more about computers and their associated idiocy. In this time away I've also learnt to let go more easily of material things however intangible mere bytes and binary may seem, and also started painting again with acrylics, which I must add I still prefer less to digital painting or even pencil drawing. Hopefully I'll change my mind soon, indeed as 2007 looms ahead, so does ORD, and as amazing as how a year passes so quickly, this speed also serves well as an incessant reminder for myself to think of what I am to do after.
