Underachievement Unlocked

Being connected from a cybercafé entails an unpleasant pressure I wasn’t used to anymore: paying per hour.

I have all my bookmarks with me, the whole list of sites for my daily reader’s digest on the blog (because the whole world needs it!), but I still keep wondering how I usually manage to keep myself busy all day on the net.

And, more importantly: is the time I spend in front of this computer really worth what it’s costing me? There’s no hesitation about a 25€ monthly contract; but accessing the web for two euros per hour? I’ve got some doubts. But, if I don’t get online here, what am I going to do with my time?

Partial answer: I have relatively well progressed on my gayattitude redesign. The layout is ready (although it’s a bit too grey — yes, even more so than the previous version), the hand-made, magical Javascript that’ll emulate popups works with Firebird and MSIE6 (as far as the other browsers go, it’ll be a surprise, but it doesn’t matter as it’s designed to “degrade gracefully”, as they say), all that’s left to do is… rewrite all scripts, unchanged but different.

Which means I’m now entering the more annoying, less intellectually gratifying part of my work, and it’s hard getting motivated — even though I have no choice, with the webserver crashing more and more often (which you may have witnessed on this site no later than tonight, by the way).
