Over engineering Gary
Sometimes we tend to over engineer a solution, instead of seeing the obvious solution. True, the simple solution is often less cool, but at least you don’t get fried trying to implement it.
Even I have had the tendency to over engineer things. I know. I know. You're thinking, "You over engineer something? You do something in a non-perfect manner? Neeeee-ver! No possible way." Sadly enough, yes... I'm not always perfect, just almost always perfect. I’m sorry I’ve had to shatter some dreams there. I hope it was less painful than the truth about Santa and the Easter Bunny.
Sorry it's just a sketch today, I'm still really swamped. Hopefully this weekend I'll get time to do comics, but it's not looking hopeful. Ok, time to go to sleep. *sigh* Where is my new Burn Notice? Unfortunately my media pc ran out of space... so I cleared up space, so I have to wait until tomorrow for it to tape again, so I can watch it. One additional day of waiting. Can I do it? Only time will tell. I guess I could watch it online, but the quality is better on tv.
