drained

I have no motivation. Not at work, not at home, not to write here. I've not even read all that much this week. I spent too much of today surfing, commenting on slashdot, and fooling around with a shell script trying to figure out how to duplicate string manipulation in awk that I can do in BASIC in my sleep.

I did find thinkexist.com this afternoon, which was interesting. I found it looking for the quotes for this slashdot reply; I was so annoyed at the cluelessness that I couldn't hold back from commenting.

At least Slashdot had a decent quote today:

"The value of marriage is not that adults produce children, but that
children produce adults." -- Peter De Vries
