Molly Installation

Installing the Molly Project onto the pirate-yogi ship Hobo 11, the machine that doesn't tend to carry copyrighted software on purpose.

Do what you say you're gonna do

This particular desktop is configured such that I can't use it to learn to write in Chinese, only to read. Pretend it's a restriction of the IT department. I'm not sure what implications that would have for the psychology of a person. We're going to find out.

Management handed down a decision, and Juice is taking my new computer from me. He's making money and I'm not, and we're sharing the money under an equitable arrangement as far as I'm concerned, so unless I can find the time to make my home computer (which does not run Windows) handle Chinese input satisfactorily, perhaps final notice that the Chinese will be left behind when our pirate space ship reaches orbit, and eventually travels beyond beyond!

So unless I can find a way to perform that function using free software, I mean, unless my demands are met!!! Uhh, yes I mean to say that, until we are financially solvent under a real business model, I will not be teaching Chinese on company time. Thank you.

Anyway, with that settled, I will be blogging about Molly as I figure out how to get it up and running. I just felt a chill of "whoreyness" run down my spine. Funny. But what I mean to say is, do what you say you're gonna do, it sounds lovely in Chinese.
