I have an abnormal fear of cleaning out my AOL Instant Messenger Buddy List. I don't know if there is a technical phobia word for it or not, but I am always afraid that in deleting a name, I will lose touch with them forever. In an attempt to save myself from this fear, I opened up Trillian and started cleaning up names, both those I no longer could associate a real name with, and those that have been offline for more than a year and will likely never use their name again. I sometimes wonder if people change their screen names when they move much like when they change their phone number. But, I digress from my fear. So like I said, I went through and started cleaning house. Some of the names on the list were from High School, and I am pretty sure those old MSN hotmail accounts weren't even being used anymore. However, even as I select "remove" I can't help but feel they might some day use the account again. Though I'm certain we both know that is likely not the case.
My latest addiction (and distraction) has been Chrono Trigger, and I almost feel like I am progressing too quickly through the game, despite my knowing I am under-leveled, and can't remember much of the game other than Marle being my favorite and the time paradoxes causing headaches when pondered at great length. Thankfully I can only find time to play it on the weekends, else I would have no time for my capstone. And to end on an happy note, I have one template file left, and one php page left (3 if I get the Gannt Software working). While not done quite when I intended, having it in before the deadline will still make me happy. My final target date is Apr 30, leaving me about 2 full weeks to assemble a reflection, a presentation, and make sure everything is functioning as it should. To get there, 4 total files created / debugged in 2 weeks time. I think I might actually make it.
