man, it’s POURING right now. i forgot to bring a heavy jacket with me so i have a very thin jacket with me that will be just thick enough to soak all the water from the rain. this is just great. it doesn’t look like there’s an end in sight, either. the wind is howling ferociously outside and there’s little i want to do except curl up and go to bed. unfortunately, i have to go run some errands tonight, so it looks like there will be no relief for me.
i haven’t seen it rain this hard in a long time. i used to love the rain when i was younger. i would get all bundled up and then i would go stomping around in the puddles. my affinity for the rain has diminshed since then, though.
this does, however, renew my interest in going rain hiking. it would be just my luck though that it would stop raining when i finally get the opportunity to do it. i would be interested in getting the waterproof kit for the s400, though. hmmm…perhaps soon.
the big thing i don’t like about the rain is driving in it. there are a lot of accidents out there and i don’t want to get caught in any of them. when the next big lull in the rain comes, i think i will make a dash to the car and head home.
anyway, on to the rant of the moment, i’m currently evaluating some software and it’s pretty funny because i’m looking at some of this code and there’s only so much one can do to protect your software when you are writing scripts. this one guy says “do not remove my logo or else my software won’t work”. now that’s a pretty cool idea so i checked how he does this. it turns out that the first thing is program does is check to see if his logo is there. i guess if you don’t know how to program, this might be a stumbling block, but if you know even the littlest bit, it’s easy to work around. it’s funny what software programmers will try to do.
