For me, coding is a form of self-expression. 

It's probably the form I'm most effective at.

Everything I code is arguably owned by the company. 

The company controls what I do with my code [in the past, it seemed I had 
freedom, but it turns out all of that was not really the case--rather, I 
was somehow avoiding the control illicitly (for 4 years)]

The company controls the most effective means of self-expression I have. 

This is unacceptable to me as an individual, therefore I must leav.

I don't know when it will be, but I'm not going to last much longer.

I have nothing but respect for the company--I've just come to realize that
it is time to do something different.

Moving my .plan here. Finger has been firewalled on genghis for weeks since
the (lame) network rebuild, so it's hosed.

The last few days have been, erm, interesting, it will be, erm, interesting
to see how they end up panning out. But I'm feeling pretty good, though like
usual feeling misunderstood. I'll try to clear it up next week.

At Ian's suggestion been listening to Slint a bit. Good shit. So funny that
one of the guys from Slint is now in Zwan, and Zwan sucks so hard. Well, they
rule as musicians, but their songs suck. I don't want to listen to 
christian rock.

Winamp 2.92 will have CD ripping support, with support for OGG. OGG VBR at
0.0 sounds pretty decent, listenable, at like 60kbps. I'm pretty impressed
with it.

Yesterday driving home I listened to Lamb - Zero a couple times. Such a good
song. So simple. Mmmm.
