While Keypressed = False

There was no post last Saturday because that’s when fellow programmer Ryan and I watched “Transformers” and afterwards joined Justin, Chat, Lily and Henry to Ace Water Spa.

We only stayed for around two hours this time, but it was still very much worth it (despite there being more people than I had anticipated; I guess there are still a lot of people who are not paranoid over the swine flu) that I fell asleep comfortably in the bus afterwards.

Ryan and I talked about how we would probably avail of the membership if it were nearer, say the West Gate area.

And wouldn’t you know it, the idea of franchising something like that more convenient for me crossed my mind.

But let’s not count chickens before we get to the bridge where the eggs will be hatched.

@@ I thought I wasn’t going to get to post today, since it was a very busy morning and early afternoon with my classes, then in the late afternoon there was helping Leland with his visual basic numerical methods assignment, that I had to relearn all over again for Excel 2007.

Add to that that we were at a table facing the walkway of students in the main campus, and there were several distractions passing in front of us normally not seen in our neck of the woods.

This includes people in costume that we finally concluded was a trial for pep squad members.

@@ Besides that, Saturday night to the wee hours of Sunday morning were used test driving Chat’s old Mac that she lent me. Thanks, Chat! It took a while getting used to the keyboard controls, but this isn’t the first time I’ve used an Apple product, (I had the chance to use one during my first job at Global Computers Corporation, with its one-button mouse that gave me a version of carpal tunnel syndrome, and we’re talking 1990, while I was still a student and a mouse on a PC wasn’t standard yet).

Sunday was spent playing Picross on the DS, and closing the books on the best month yet for business.

I was also reading “Firefly” by Piers Anthony, a horror book written by someone I knew for his science fiction.

I can’t believe that up to this time I still have not been able to get his “Bio of a Space Tyrant” volumes, despite the fact that I saw them a lot (again) while I was still a student browsing the bookstores.

Maybe I’ll ask Justin, recently heavily into science fiction, to secure me a copy if he can.

So far the book is interesting in that the characters, as well as the developments in plot, are exceeding expectations. This is not your typical formulaic Stephen King scare book. Whether that novelty will lead to satisfaction up to the last page remains to be seen.
