its the title of a painting, two sided, bought by a traveller from chille that i never met. i hope they are OK.

what does it mean?

i needed a religion, and this is it.

uninadisanism

un as in uninvolved, unexcited, unimpressed.
in as in indifferent, inviolate, insufferable
a as in amoral, asexual, atheist
dis as in disinterested, disempowered, disparate
an as in anaerobic, anaemic, anaphrodisiac
ism as theory, belief, doctrine

(fill in your own word examples if you find the ones above too attractive or repulsive, they are for illumination, not emotion)
so
un – ‘contrary to’
in – ‘not’
a – ‘negation / abscence’
dis – ‘lit. two ways / apart’
an – ‘without’
ism – philosophy

which is kinda like the non attatchment of dao, without the purpose. te kore. daat.

difficulties installing on disk. lots of “windows cannot blah system blah.

re-created raid array in bios. loaded windows 7. went to “repair” to get a command prompt. then ran “setup” from the ram disk. got it as far as loading drivers, loaded 2008 x64 hp 5i drivers (from HP web), then….

alt-tabbed back to command prompt. diskpat. created a new partition (primary) made it active. exit.

refreshed and continued setup.

i did an experiment the other day.

laying in bed (in my tin foil haven), i said – out loud – “I am human”. i tried it a few times.

to start with i was fearful. what if i was? what if all my experiences are some mental aberration? the fear subsided as i resigned myself (submitted) to the possibility.

the words felt flat and lifeless, though, as if it wasn’t my voice speaking them. they didn’t travel out into the world, didn’t engage with the walls.

so i tried the opposite. “i am not human”. funny feeling, still flat.

then i tried: “i’m an alien”. weird. its like a different part of my face is speaking. still, i get warm fuzzies. instant feeling of rightness. phew.

it nags the question, though. have i got my rightness and not-rightness senses mixed up? what if all those times things felt right , they weren’t?

argh.

is unearthly, well, very strange. in a mixed and cloudy sky, it sits half full, leaning on its weight, high upon a pillar of yellowy light, which extends above. passing horizontally through it is a smaller, less distinct band of light, revealing the moon as the junction of a cross of moonlight. far to the right hangs a solitary, yellowish ‘moon dog’ – something i did not know even existed. far to the left, the clouds disperse and the stars fill the void.

yummy. if only my camera could capture the sight.

hi.

looks like these drivers are missing from aiptek’s site these days, so if you are looking for them, browse to http://www.special-solutions.net/cd-iso-images and you can download the installation disk image from there. about 120MB.

(2003)
For those of you who have not heard the situation was basically as follows:
At approximately 12.30pm Club members were enjoying relaxed celebrations at the Club
when a”scantily” clad, tall thin person was observed entering the surf.
About 1.00pm Mike Schrader, Errol Hunter and others became concerned as the
individual had swum slowly some 400m offshore in the middle of the bay.
Dave Loveridge and Michael Hamilton (recently qualified 16yr old Lifeguards) went
out on Malibu boards to the Patient who at this time was clinging to a marker buoy. A small
motorboat appeared and and met Dave at the buoy .with the patient being taken aboard the
boat in a bad way.
Dave couldn’t find a pulse and performed CPR and when the patient semi recovered
was brought inshore aboard the boat along with Dave and his board.
With a moderate surf running the decision was made to transfer the patient to the
Malibu board for the last 50m to shore. Michael Hamilton and Matthew Hunter assisted
Dave in returning the patient to shore.
Emergency services were contacted and the patient stretchered to the First Aid Room.
Bach owners Sandra Anderton and Murray Thomas came to the assistance with blankets and
Doctor Kim Palsey provided much needed medical care.
The patient who wanted to swim with the dolphins, slowly recovered from
hypothermia and confusion thanks to efforts of Linda Hamilton, Anna Loveridge, Matthew
Hunter and others.
The semi recovered patient was transferred to the ambulance, then lost it. Again Dave
stepped in to assist Ambulance officers to restrain and calm the patient. Police assistance was
requested to transport the patient to hospital for treatment and subsequent transfer to
Hillmorten Hospital.
CONGRATULATIONS to Dave Loveridge, Michael Hamilton and all those responsible for
the good outcome to the result of the rescue. David and Michael have only recently qualified
as lifeguards and their skill and maturity under a lot of pressure was incredible. We are very
proud of you.

and as the rescuee, i have to say, thanks very much too!

partial ref from online

“Hokitika’s self-styled high priestess is out of harmony with the police.

Flow Ir In, previously known as Sunshine, claims she drove her “magic taxi” to the Hokitika police station to report a businessman for allegedly having child pornography on his computer.

Finding the station closed, she went looking for the nearest patrol car to report her news, but picked on the wrong car.

The Highway Patrol constable was more interested in the fact she was not wearing a seatbelt, giving her a $150 ticket instead of the sympathetic ear she had expected.

The high priestess was offended. Her magic taxi (a car) had been busy in the Golden Bay and Hokitika areas relocating stranded spirits from this …
”
anyone hgave the original?

The phenomenom whereby you wake up in the morning with a girl who had seemed quite pretty the previous night under the influence of alcohol but now she seems ugly. The idea is that the “magic taxi” came to take her away. Especially used in Southern England.
“..Then I woke up and I was like, oh dear, magic taxi…”

has played the alien trilogy. keep on travelling, beautiful tunes!

well, that was a fluff.
i was trying to set up a span desktop on a nvidia geforce 5200 fx
two identical viewsonic va2226w lcd panels (not my kit, unfortunately).
we wanted to run at native resolution (1680×1050) on each.

man, nowt but touble., updatred the drivers, tried the omegas (they crashed the system) but no luck. 1680×1050 and 1600×1200 was all i could get (ie one of them out)

then i had a moment of inspiration. yep. one was on analogue, the other on digital (d-sub vs dvi)

and it was the dvi that couldn’t cope.

changing them both to analogue using a dvi to dsub converter solved the problem, now they are both running at native.

i’ve blogged this so some other poor person desperately trying to fix thier similarily failing dual headed 1680×1050 / 3360×1050 lcd geforce nightmare gets saved a few hours.
