Diary of a Heretic

I think that it is totally amazing that you can type in a series of letters called a BBcode which is a set of instructions to your computer and presto you have a picture. I played around with the glitter graphics last night and when I decided on a particular picture I tried to get it happening and it just didn’t come out properly. So when I reviewed the original code I realised that I had missed a symbol. Once I corrected the code it all worked out.

When you think about it, it is kinda like spell work; well actually it’s exactly like spellwork. You have a picture, a scenario in mind and you devise a sequence of instructions that you send out to the great computer called the universe and sometimes you get what you ask for and sometimes it goes horribly wrong.

If you analyse it you will realise that success all depends on the symbols of the code. Did you have the right intent? Did you consider all the consequences of your actions? Was the timing right? Were the words chosen correct and in the right sequence? Were the emotions right? etc etc.

You know, Spell work is all about the detail – the right detail. The next time you want to change the picture of your life think carefully about what you really want and make sure you have the right sequence of symbols and words in your BBcode. Get the picture?
