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. + |
