The machine is my baby. The software is the afterbirth.

And sometimes I gnaw off the cord with my teeth. And feel better for it, too.

The software is replaceable. The software is expendable. The software is sometimes where I vent my frustrations. Truthfully, I could have looked harder for a solution with more finesse. But I was irritated, and somehow I generally feel like the computer is not entirely mine anymore when someone else has installed something or uninstalled something or changed settings without my knowledge. Sometimes I just shrug and deal with that. And then sometimes I'm angry. Today I was angry and I did something that reasserted my ownership, in a way. It's my machine to build, rebuild, improve upon, or break. I don't generally choose to break it. Today I did. I forced a change I wanted, when I might have looked around a bit for a gentler way to implement it.

You know what?

It was satisfying.

Ohyeah... and it's all fixed now. ;)
