<< Surgeon General's Warning | Main | me and me and me and mecha-godzilla >> August 16, 2007 >> death and rebirth of the silver god After about three years the mighty Silver God was at last brought crashing to its knees, the victim of cyber-sabotage. By this I mean that I fucked up. A warez site, the internet equivalent of a stranger with candy, promised me audio-visual delights of the nostalgic persuasion: I wanted to play an old computer game that needed a SPECIAL PATCH but instead I got a herpesface full of virii and malware. Anyway, three years is a long time for a continuous iteration of Windows to last, so I buried that particular baby with mixed feelings of regret and relief. And then I almost lost all my university papers that I've ever written in my entire lifetime - - - HEARTSTOPPER! ... but then I didn't. AND THEN an almost tear-jerking joy as one realizes that one isn't quite as stupid as feared. One of you in particular may remember this remarkable turnaround in fortunes, distilled through the text-y emotions of MSN. In the future all emotion will be run through a text filter before being cleared to land. If you can't type it, you can't feel it. If you feel it without typing it, you're "emotionally reserved". If you can't type at all then you get to be a cyborg death-soldier. Posted by Chris at 11:15 PM >> Commentations (0)
