Feeling low...

Why should I care what anyone thinks?!

Seems I find this feature of Advo to be it's best.

I certainly don't expect anyone but myself to acually read this.

So here I am struggling with dependant libraries to add support for MNG to the Berlin server. Have to learn how to build a build system for some of this. But this on top of everything else is tough.

I get so discuraged sometimes.. One might ask why do any of it it if it makes you feel bad...But...It's really that I know what needs to be...what would be really cool...I always see the big picture clearly. But, my skills in making that happen seem so inadiquate.

Here a few things tho:

I don't want anyone to read this and go and certify me.

I won't ask people to certify me either. I did that but once to get this far and felt wierd about 'self promotion'.

So:

Let my diary entries be a protest to the selection <trust metric> system.

If you want to read what I have to say about discussions posted on the front page...look for a diary entry for me on the side.

and those with write permissions that want to comment on what I write just mention 'see arrow's diary entry of <date>'.

I will keep my comments in the form of sub headings in the form of...

Note to the discussion of <blah>:

Ok that's the diary post for today...have a good one everyone
