Now plug them back in again, one by one.

Geeking out today. I took Monday off, so I’m working all day. Current task: learn Access 2000. I figured out the frustration I was feeling wasn’t due to my inability to understand what the Access 2000 Bible was trying to tell me, but due to the fact that the book simply sucks; 1000+ pages of worthless doggerel. Now, happily engrossed in Mastering Microsoft Access 2000 Development, I’m flying. I’ve let two consecutive cups of tea grow cold, and I nearly missed being on time for lunch.

In other news, I finally broke down and switched my office keyboard to Dvorak, and re-labeled the keys on my Microsoft Natural with a Sharpie. It’s like getting back into running again—at first, it feels really awkward, but soon enough and I’ll be feeling the flow again. After a summer of QWERTY, it’s kind of like the feeling you get after you stop banging your head against a wall.

So yeah—technology isn’t all bad. We get email and Relational Database Management Systems, so all is not lost. And besides: it’s cold and rainy outside, and everybody else is either busy or down in Wheaton right now.
