Ugh, it happened again. I keep over-writing. Keeping it short.

Good thing I have Twitter and all the past tweets of this weekend, because I don’t quite fully remember what happened this past weekend. Being up for at least 36 hours is never a good thing, although, somehow, I found the strength to keep going. (Her name is Caffeine. Our relationship was complicated, and now, it’s about to get broken.)

This past weekend was weird. I was up for at least 36 hours, doing such tasks like:

• Drinking wayyy too much caffeine.
• 44 oz MD + 32 oz Coke + Guru + Brain Toniq. Yeah, wired.
• Scanning Bills and Receipts for preparations for the 1040′s. Hooray for Yep.
• Works awesome with my scanner since Canon CanoScan LiDE25 software is a piece of crap: Awesome blog post on circumventing the idiocy.
• Finding out that my MacBook Pro doesn’t like the 4 GB update. Should have read this, and all the Apple Support Forum stuff first.
• I believe I got to crash #7 until I realized that it was the RAM.
• To tell you the truth, I don’t think it’s the load on the processor. I’ve had mine crash when I had just Skype open. There’s something really wrong in the firmware or something.
• Although, I did crash once after I replaced my old ones back in. It hasn’t since Sunday, so I guess this is a good thing.
• Installed Windows
• Kinda annoyed at the Samsung SC-MX20 issue with not being able to properly flag 16:9 videos.
• This took the most time on Sunday. If I can get this done, I vow to make a donationware product through HanMeta for the other SC-MX20 users to enjoy (on the Mac… there seems to be a possible solution for PC users, but I can’t cling onto that). But that’s… we’ll see. So… much… hacking…
• Learning that caffeine doesn’t actually help indigestion.

But the whole point of this post is not to talk about what I did this weekend, but what I realized I had to do. And I know, it was January, 11th… let’s keep that out of here as we talk about world domination plans.

I finally continued reading Accidental Empires by Robert X. Cringely. What came next was not caused by what I actually read, but what I took to heart while reading it. I don’t even remember what it was about… something to do with Bill Gates.

The realization was to be even more ruthless with my time. Even more so than I am. My ways of overthinking needs to end. A testament to this new way of life was how I went about writing this post. I just kept whittling it down and down until this post happened.

It must be because of prepping for a trip to Seattle this weekend, but I feel the need to accomplish something before then. Today has been a throwaway day because… I’m still recovering from the mess of this weekend.

But seriously, I need to blog more short posts. Make more things into multi-part blot posts, or something.
