Nowadays, every person I see I tell that I'm going to South America, in the hopes that they'll have something to tell me about it. Today when I was picking up fiberoptic cabling, the guy there told me about one of his other customers who spends half the year in Brazil… Then I bumped into someone else I know (the person who's sold me my last four portable computers) who just got back from an extended trip in Peru — so I'll be stopping by to pick his brain as well. So far, every first-hand story I've heard is universally glowing… Whereas most of the second-hand stories are terrifying — leading me to believe they're largely tainted with some sort of first-world prejudice.
Well, I've just eaten some crappy but cheap sushi, so I'm all charged up:
Well, I've got an update to do… Image update… I've just started on it, so I figure I'll have it uploaded by morning. Worst case tomorrow afternoon. If the cover of BME changes, you'll know it's there. While I'm doing that, I'll listen to Nectarine and remember the old days. If I had more time I'd love to be in the demoscene again. Although I have to admit it's not as cool as it used to be… While you can certainly make some pretty stuff on a 1GHz machine with an OpenGL board, it just doesn't have to zen of writing tight assembly code to make a 386 do things it just shouldn't be able to do.
