My Father's Rolex, My Laptop Logs, and the Future I Still Want

March 22, 2022

After cutting my finger on a mango, I drift into watches, SIEM logging, my father's Rolex, and the life he represented, then push past it into my own plans for towers, armored vehicles, and a better Chapter 6 in the script.

Tuesday 22nd, March.

10:00 a.m.

I injured my left index pointing finger. I was cutting up a mango real nice. It slipped. No blood. But there is a largely superficial nick.

When i woke up.████████████████████and slept some more. If I slept at 11 p.m., I must've woken up at around 7 or 8 a.m. I keep my laptop next to my bed.

When I switch it (my laptop) on, it automatically logs in, as I use SIEM software, to perma log all the computer actions or behaviors. I often check my Task Manager, to see how many minutes or hours my laptop was on for.

I then, calculate, oh if it was on for 1 hour. Then, now if it is 10 a.m., I must've woken up at 9 a.m. I used to wear a watch when I was small. I have a few watches.

I like the Swatch brand, I liked Timex when I was small. I bought them from Mustafa Central in Singapore. I think even from the Changi Airport.

Anura Gunadasa gifted me, like Captain Koons in Pulp Fiction, a watch my father had. It had a problem, the time was not kept properly.

I think that, I found a Rolex in the safe. That belonged to my dad. I played with the dial and broke it.

I was trying to adjust the date and time, I flicked it, it went to Tuesday or 30th instead of Monday and 29th, and then i had to go 31st, then 1st, through to 29th. I f-cked it up.

I don't care. I feel like my dad, he was an older generation. Like a Mercedes Benz S Class he had, he was wearing a Rolex,████████████████████████████████████████████had macaw pets, he had friends who were like him, that type.

I am like, the next generation. I will get a T8 Rolls Royce or Aston Martin from No Time To Die, I will get my own 33 floor tower, I will get a Patek grandmaster, make ███████████████████████████████████████, I will have an inhouse bird park where my birds can fly inside, my friends will be better.

I will get 2 x T8 standard armored humvees with CROWS 50 cal sentry turrets and 30mm grenade launchers. I will get 3 back up humvees too. All paid for, with private money, and not the government's taxpayer money like█████████

When Jagath went to university in England, he slept on the floor. I had my own flat, my own comfortable room with a tv and a kitchen. I had a French maid (███████), a Spanish maid (███), a Filipino maid (████), a China butler (███), etc.

Anyway. I don't wear watches. I just don't like them. I think that they are stressful. I use my phone, to see the time. I use my Captain's Log. I don't really care about time.

Often, when people phone call me. I don't tell them, yeah, you got 1 minute, 5 minutes, 30 minutes or an hour. I just give them whatever time they need. I like to be generous with my time.

Some people, even if they don't wear, a watch, out of habit, they will look at their arm, where a watch should be, when they feel it is too much time.

A lot of people, they call, because they are basically, working, and they have been assigned a prospect for marketing, and so, they have 1 hour to speak on the phone. It's so pathetic. I don't think that makes any sense.

██████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████

I just repeatedly say the most awful things. I say it again and again, with different words, different insults, different ways. I watch those less bad Comedy Central Roasts.

Whatever. I don't care. Today. I gotta write my script some more. I think Chapter 6 is important, but so boring, and I don't like it. It is too much stuff in it.

It is like a lecture. I don't like it. I will do something.

I gotta start my laptop when I wake up.

SIEM means, system information and event management, it just logs, all the actions a computer makes, like a black box. It is hidden in the hooked kernel.

Passwords, they don't matter to hackers. It's like a joke. You are only wasting 2 minutes, or an indefinite amount of time, to enter a password, when a computer switches on. You want to know what acts the computer does.

Interview with Bradman Weerakoon

https://groundviews.org/2010/12/01/interview-with-bradman-weerakoon/

Deshamanya Bradman Weerakoon, who turned 80 recently, is an elder statesman in Sri Lanka and one of the oldest living civil servants in the country. During over half a century of public service, Bradman served nine Sri Lankan heads of State. It is frankly impossible in 24 minutes to capture this wealth of experience. What the discussion did concentrate was on key chapters in Bradman’s life. Bradman’s answers are always measured and diplomatic.

We began by discussing the pregnant title of his memoirs, Rendering Unto Caesar, placing it in Biblical context (from Matthew 22:21) and going on to explore why Bradman embraced Buddhism when he was around 18.
