+title: Cali and More
+---
+
+Wow, too much fun stuff to share in one update, but I'll do the best I
+can.  First of all, I'm back from my vacation in California, and I
+had a lot of fun.  Pictures will be up soon (I have to find 7 more
+pictures to take, then I'll have the roll developed and scanned). My
+sister Erin works at a frozen yogurt shop in Malibu, and I sat through
+a couple of her shifts. They get celebrities in there every day!  I was
+only in there a few days, and I saw
+<a href="http://tbssuperstation.com/tv/fullhouse/dj.htm">Candice Cameron</a>,
+<a href="http://mrshowbiz.go.com/people/tomhanks/content/Bio.html">Tom Hanks</a>, and
+<a href="http://cherdirect.com/">Cher</a>!
+Apparently, I just missed <a href="http://mrshowbiz.go.com/people/adamsandler/Index.html">Adam Sandler</a>
+-- he came in a few hours after we left one day.  I learned a few
+things too:<br />
+<ul>
+<li>No matter how bad the water is in your town, it will invariably 
+    be worse wherever you travel.<br />
+<li>In person, celebrities aren't obnoxious, flamboyant, or loud --
+    although the rest of us seem to be all of these things when a 
+    celebrity is nearby.<br />
+<li>Just because eating large quantities of ice cream and frozen
+    yogurt sounds like fun as a kid, doesn't mean it's good for you
+    or your digestive tract as an adult.<br />
+</ul>
+
+I made a few quick page updates today.  The <a href="/download/">Downloads
+page</a> now has descriptions for most items, and I started wokring on
+a <a href="http://www.mysql.com/">SQLized</a> version of the news (as
+opposed to the home-grown db format I'm using at the moment).  You can
+monitor it's progress by checking <a href="/projects/dbnews/">this
+page</a>.  Yes, this means you'll be able to search the page soon (at
+least the news section).  Oh yeah, I posted my
+<a href="/download/#ns_to_galeon_pl">Netscape to Galeon bookmark
+converter</a>  It's still a bit buggy, but it's bound to work better
+than what Galeon is offering (eg a phat coredump in your home
+directory). I put a basic shell for the code section up
+<a href="/code/new-index.phtml">here</a>, although it's basically 
+completely empty ATM.  I've had several requests for design tips --
+I'd appreciate it if those of you who have emailed me would let me know
+what you're interested in seeing on the code page.  Specifically, should
+I just dump all the scripts and backend, or would you like a bit of
+a tutorial as well?  Finally, the uptimes (on the left sidebar) are now
+completely automated, I updated the EWL section on the
+<a href="/projects/">Projects page</a> to say that it's now in
+CVS, and the <a href="/as;lkdfjasldkjf;aslkdjf;adlskfjsaldkfjlsadkfj;dslkfj;sadlkfjsdlfkjas;dlfkj;asldkfj;lasdf">404 page</a> now works again.
+<br /><br />
+
+OTT <a href="http://x5rings.fsck.org/">x5rings</a> and
+<a href="http://www.linuxbrit.co.uk/">giblet</a> added a few things
+to <a href="/projects/">EWL</a> while I was gone.  Oh yeah, and Jeff
+(my roommate) has a ridiculously powerful level 50-something
+Necromancer in Diablo II now.  Okay, there's more going on, but
+I've gotta run -- I'll update again when I have some time.
