AnalPhilosopher

“[I]t is ambition enough to be employed as an under-labourer in clearing the ground a little,
and removing some of the rubbish that lies in the way to knowledge.” —John Locke, 1689

“[P]hilosophy can no more show a man what he should attach importance to
than geometry can show a man where he should stand.” —Peter Winch, 1968

Irony

The thunderstorms I said I love (see the immediately preceding post) may have done a number on my computer overnight. When I got up this morning, the DSL modem didn't work. I've been on the telephone all morning with EarthLink technicians—to no avail. Someone is going to have to come to my house tomorrow to solve the problem, which means I have to clean the house. Where to begin? To make matters worse, I can't even use the dial-up connection on my Dell computer (the fast one), so I had to fire up the Compaq to post this. It's maddeningly slow. If I don't post anything for a while, you know why.
