I Love data

I have completed pidginlog0.3. It is fully functioning, now all my chatlogs are saved remotely and I can run all kind of SQL queries on them. For example, check out who talked to me the most, how many characters have I sent and all other kind of stuff.

If you remember, I also have this programcount my keystrokes.

I started this list of things I did a while ago.

I'm also saving money to get my genes tested by 23andme. so my gene will be saved in a computer and I can know all kind of stuff about it.

Why... why am I so obsessed with all kind of data about myself?

because I need to know and preserve.

I love these data. because I am data, or, information, if it can be used by someone else.

I see this world as creation and destruction of data.

I can only know what I sense. sensing itself is a method to gather data from the surrounding. (If there is a surrounding, I could be living in a dream.)

There are many things happen, and no data about it gets recorded. I might did something, but I can't recall it.
Ultimately, it lead to that I don't even know what I.

I believe I expressed it a few times that losing memory means death.

by keeping a record of things I did, I preserve some part of the memory.
Then. part of my life is not on me. It's somewhere else. Even if I die, those memory are still there (as long as someone can read them), then I still lives.

because I am data... data don't die from disease, old age or even death...
data die when it is no longer recorded anywhere.
