I've rolled up my sleeves and gone to work. I've been writing a tool configuration architecture all this week and the work has given me the "working with my hands" feeling. It's the feeling that makes me wish I could do carpentry so that I could experience it with the same intensity but more viscerally and more often.
Also this week I have been helping Frederic Faure with a NewsBruiser setup, and he sent me a note of sympathy yesterday which made me feel less shaken.
One of the things I hear from abroad is that Americans now have firsthand experience of a thing that goes on in many countries all the time. It's true, and maybe now we will have more incentive to address the causes. However, I am not optimistic. This past week has not done much for my misanthropy.
