well…. tonight was the end of oii, so i'm in my room getting ready for bed.

i ditched drinking and loudness, just not my vogue i guess.

but i walked home with Lam, who told me that beyond my 'most likely to take over microsoft' award, i was also to get something like the 'human google' award, which i find makes me quite cheeky. nothing new there though.

Staying fresh. In Software Rot, Scott Rosenberg considers the matter of software life expectancy. An excerpt:

In truth, while well-written software can often lead an extraordinarily long and fruitful life (I am storing the fruits of two years of book research in a 2 megabyte Ecco Pro file, in outlines composed in a program that has not been upgraded or modified since around 1997), most software today begins to rot from the moment of first use.

And the most notorious piece of decay-prone software is the one Microsoft's billions are founded on. Windows begins to accumulate barnacles of cruft in the registry the moment you first crank it up and try to use it to do anything.
