Have you ever read an email that wasn’t meant for your eyes? Or perhaps you’ve eavesdropped a conversation where your name is mentioned? Not very pleasant is it? Last night, an email plopped into my inbox that was not meant for me, but had been CC’d accidentally. I was mentioned and while the person writing it wasn’t being nasty about me, certain parts of the email depressed me. You realise that people “out there” spread bad vibes about you without giving the full story. While I don’t mind portraying myself as something I’m not, I have to draw the line at other people indulging in the pursuit. A man has to have his limits, no?
Oh well, you’ve got to put it behind you and ignore it. In the grand scheme of things, it means absolutely nothing.
In the post: the new Van der Graaf Generator book, which at first glance looks absolutely fucking superb. Excellent!
Chinese Whispers
If I were you (which I am obviously not as I am missing the vital prog appreciation part of the brain) I’d take pleasure from the fact that the person probably realises their mistake and is sitting thinking ‘shit’ right now.
Dude, I very much doubt those involved would even be reading this blog. By the way, you really need to develop that “prog” part of your brain. It’s not that bad, really. 😉
I meant they may have noticed they’d cc’d you looking through their e-mails.
Yeah I’m working on the prog-ject – mostly listening to trusted Crimson like Thrak.
I really liked Hackett’s – A Tower Struck Down when I heard it the other day too.
someone sent me about a hundred pictures to my gmail account once, they followed it up with an email saying “please delete the previous email, it wasn’t for you”
I spent hours looking through wedding photo’s and pictures of snow fields before I realised there was no scandal just an honest mistake lol
That’s good to hear that you are enjoying Hackett, dude. I am keen to convert you young uns to the dark side of prog, so send me your postal address via email and I’ll send you a CD compilation of some of my favourite prog tunes.
