If there's any activity more boring, and less truly productive, than
updating to the latest rev of a software environment, I'd like to know
what it is.
I have a long list of things that seem to me like a better use of my time,
including:
- working on new networking architectures
- going for a walk with my dogs
- studying woodblock prints to update the online catalog raisonnes I'm
working on for a couple of major Japanese woodblock artists
- listening to music (baroque, jazz, etc, etc)
- etc, etc, etc, etc.
Somehow I doubt that on their deathbed (to paraphrase an old aphorism)
anyone's going to be saying 'Gee, I wish I'd spent more of my time in this
realm installing Service Pack 7 of Microsloth Defenstrator'.
