Any way to port?

It was obvious that blogger was about to release some sort of coments system soon, yet while that happened haloscan was a pretty neat choice... the thing that I don't like now, is that having the blogger system doing that now, I lost all the coments that were typed bia haloscan... now, I could have both things, but that'd be just messy... and unstylish... and we are all about style, right?.

Going into more interesting things, I got a very good mail from Alan about Abraxas and his ways, I do want to know more about him... and I am starting to develop a theory about this god of chaos. Hmmm... its not strong enough to write it down now though.

What I found amuzing today was an insight that was shared to me... how we always tend to live in a time which is not our own. We constantly go to our memories (living in the past), to search trough our experiences and see what works and what doesn't, so that we can apply them and this have a better outcome for the future. So, we keep looking to the past, a no longer existent time, to resolve a future that doesn't exists yet. And thus we forget that the only one time we have is the here and now. Is that what the buddhist unatachment is all about?, just not minding about anything but the present?.

So many questions...

And if any of you guys have a C++ book, a visual c++ book, if I could borrow it that would be awesome. I need to learn the stuff... I got a book about game programming, very good, yet once I started I saw that I needed more background, so I got this book about OpenGl and DirectX, yet once I started reading, I saw that I needed more on windows programming and visual c++, the MFC and stuff like that. The problem now is that I DO KNOW how to program, I just need to learn to move my self around this new paradigm, not wasting my time on reading about "for loops"... if you know what I mean.

Anyway... cheers. (what a messed up, inconsistent post this was... a reflection of the current status of my mind I believe).
