  1. Randy says, “Moo”

    Randy is a friend of mine who provides my hosting, and when confronted about the server time being somehow set back a year today…
    Randy: ROFL You noticed that too, hunh? Yeah, I was correcting the clock that was a little slow and typo’d the whole friggin year. ;-xxx
    So, it’s not just me, [...]

  2. Weird, Wild stuff

    Yeah, so, apparently for awhile, my posts were showing up with a date that was February 27th of 2002, not 2003, so anything I was posting wasn’t showing up. That’s freaky.
    I posted twice from work, and rather than delete the posts, I’m going to leave all of them up as well as a little [...]

  3. Test Post

    Testing, as nothing seems to show anymore.

  4. Thursday Already?

    Side note: For some reason, this didn’t save last time I posted, so that’s somewhat annoying that I have to retype it all up – oh well.
    I can’t believe it’s already Thursday. This week has just flown by. If you told me that this really is the end of week 6 of this [...]

  5. Thursday Already?

    Wow, this week is moving just way too fast for comfort. I have too much homework and a midterm that I’m just frightened about tomorrow at noon. Ugh!
    On a more positive note, I’ve finally found some time to set up my personal workstation at work, which has to be a dual-boot Win2K/RH7.3 machine. [...]

  6. Dial-up weekend

    This was a very unique last few days. My last post was at 12:01am on Friday, so although by the calendar it looks like I’ve only missed one day, in actuality I haven’t posted since late Thursday night, so late it was really Friday morning.
    One thing I didn’t mention in any of my posts [...]

  7. Interesting Progression

    I know I already posted this link earlier tonight, but I’m posting it again because I like this drawing so much, I decided to try my first inking. Start here, and then go through each one by clicking back in the list. I saved at as many intervals as I could in order [...]

  8. New Sketch

    I’ve posted a new sketch. It’s some random girl that just popped into my head, but I really like how the head came out. I think that, if I could get the proportions right, I could draw a comic in this style. I really don’t exactly know how to describe the style [...]

  9. Late Night Thoughts

    Yeah, so I’m sitting here, wrapping up my homework for the night, and am realizing that, for as much as I complain about things, I really have it pretty good for now.
    My health isn’t great, but I’m more mobile than quite a few people out there. I’m a little overweight, but if I can [...]

  10. Nice Quote

    Yeah, so I said I was going to bed – I really am after this.

    I think we dream so we don’t have to be apart so long. if we’re in each other’s dreams, we can be together all the time.

  11. Movable Type 2.62

    For those friends of mine who use Movable Type as their management system…
    If you upgraded to 2.6 or 2.61, there is a serious vulnerability in the Author.pm Perl module used in MT. I have no idea what the vulnerability is, but I received this information via the MT-users mailing list. Head on over [...]

  12. Workouts

    Workouts in the morning are great.
    Also, gotta love the wonderful taste of egg substitute – it was really pretty good stuff. It was a southwestern version, so it even had small pieces of green chile in it – it was very tasty, better than your average egg and even healthier – very much a [...]

  13. Happy Valentine’s Day!

    This year’s Valentine’s day actually started out a big rough in the morning for me, but then it really turned around at the end.
    My wife bought me this little book called All About Us. In the book, it’s basically a very very long quiz regarding your relationship. It’s definitely not designed to fill [...]

  14. Interesting Site

    iamnext.com – I found this site searching for information regarding creating a cover letter, and found out it’s also a resource for college students. It seems like there are quite a few good resources here, and I think I’ll be surfing this site a lot more, once I have some free time again.

  15. Simply Amazing

    A few days ago, I posted a few things, regarding both my starting of the Weight Watchers Points program, as well as the most popular searches that brought people to my site. As was the case before, “emotes” and “sickening pictures” (which I blame Liz for, as she posted some pictures of herself someone [...]

  18. New Day

    Man, I can’t tell you how great this new program feels. At first, it was a bit hard to get up and get going, but once I did it was so incredibly worth it.
    First things first, I felt inspired to pick up my Bible. I read Ephesians 4-6, and it was a great [...]

  19. Weight Watchers

    Apparently, my diet journal has been showing up in search engines – you know, the diet journal I did for a few days and quit basically. Not a good thing to do, start it up and quit it right away.
    This round, I’m going to be using it again, but for tracking my Weight Watchers [...]

  20. Dance Dance Revolution

    Yeah, so yesterday I said that SimCity 4 was going to be my new addiction, and you could expect me to rant about that quite a bit. That will still be the case, but with another addiction.
    Dance Dance Revolution is simply an awesome game. I’m so enjoying it. Seeing as I only [...]
