A Wonder

Sometimes life is full of wonder which simply cannot get rational explanation of how it happened.

I've been working on making an old hacker game Uplink run on my linux-based Eee PC for hours and days. All is to no avail. Finally I gave up.

Then my brother somehow got intrested in the game and started playing it with escalated frenzy. After he called me for some help and shared with me his amazement at the game's simple design yet deep immersion, I decided to give myself another shot.

By my brother's hint at downloading a new patch, I tweaked this and that with a lengthy process of trial and error. Then to my total ignorance, the game finally fired up in my machine. I had little idea how it started working. Yet it did work.

What a wonder!
