On existence

I’ve done around 5800 kilometers already. 721 kilometers were done today. I had to drive up to a mine in Limpopo province.


I’m not religious, I do not believe in god or heaven. I find religion to be irrational. But that’s my opinion, everyone’s entitled to it. My point with that statement is that I’ve sometimes thought, “What happens when you die?”

Now if you think about it, one day when you were a child, you became self-aware. You “woke up”, so to speak, as you. Now who’s to say that it doesn’t happen like that all the time? You die. You become self-aware, but you’re someone else. I’m not talking about reincarnation or past lives, or any of that type of crap. You are just someone else. And so the cycle continues.

I’m not sure if you (the reader) will get what I’m trying to say. Don’t really care either :-p

Referrer Spam

I really don’t understand the penchant for spamming web logs with referrer spam. Do these spammers REALLY think that when browsing your web logs, you’re going to be inclined to look at a referrer coming from www-buy-cigarettes-now.ru?

Maybe one day when AI is a feasible and tangible thing, we can send them out to wipe out every spammer that they find. Suddenly we get a 98% speed increase when accessing the net because of all the spammers being down. Ahhh, joy.

Say hello to Skynet. :D
