Gotta tie things together...
I feel like there are just a bunch of loose ends in my life right now that I simply need to tie down, so I'm gonna fill this post with a bunch of junk.
1) I wrote another big script for setting up little webpages for my pictures. It's clunky and sloppy, but it works pretty well. I'm a fan, and my latest picture collections are examples of the script in action. I won't post the script just yet... but... yeah... all set and sexy.
2) After I post this, I plan on linking to this blog from my homepage. Bonus!
3) I played a bass guitar today. Awesome. I learned some notes for part of the bassline to Spirit of Radio. Davey taught me. Bonus! Thanks Davey C!
4) I switched from Mandrive to Kubuntu, which is awesome. I'm such a fan of "apt-get"ing stuff. Yay Kubuntu. Yay Debian derivations! Yay linux in general! Now I just need to get xine to work and I'll be a complete person again:-P
5) Unfortunately, in the process of this move, one of my greatest projects, my Magic (the Gathering) card database was lost. Eeks! Now I'll have to re-enter my 11k cards! Holy crud!
6) I said something somewhat meaningful about 9-11 yesterday. I'm also a complete slut for webcomics, and I'm surprised that more of them haven't done something about the 5 year anniversary that happened yesterday. One of my newer favorites, however, "You'll Have That" has been, and it looks like he's going to do a whole week of them. There's a link to the comic homepage from my website, but this a link to the beginning of the arc. On the news, the author of the comic says he wants to hear about people's responses to 9-11, but not in a "taking-sides" sort of way... meaning politically. Unfortunately, I don't know how to respond very well without being political on that issue. I think this is again very telling of how my attitude towards the whole event really sucks.
7) I hate Blogger's method for placing links. I dunno if there's another way, but the GUI way is horrendous. It's hard to copy/paste links in, and it already provides you with the http:// as though you're going to hand-enter the link. Why would anyone do that? I actually have gripes with lots of Google products, which I think I'll vent about at another time. I should say that I don't hate Google---I'm quite fond of them (and now especially one of their employees)---but there really seems to be some kind of disconnect between what they're delivering and what their users are looking for. ( <3 Eric Schmidt... <3 ... sigh...)
8) Speaking of You'll Have That, I wrote to the author at one point, having noticed one of the characters wearing a shirt with a big 'M' on it. The comic takes place in Ohio... but I am a big Michigan fan (Go Blue!). I wrote to Wes, the author, and he wrote back saying that that character is (unfortunately) a Michigan fan. Well, even though he's an OSU monkey... I'll still likely buy a book at some point. It's a good comic.
Okay... that's enough for now. Tune in later when this blog continues to suck. Kind of like Sir Sux-a-lot of the band Sucking to the Eighties. Exactly.
