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.
