Well, I’m here safe and sound. My drive went perfect. I made it up here in 12.5 hours–left at 10:30AM (CST) and arrived in Louisville by 1AM (EST). So far things have been pretty fun. Right now I’m just chilling at my friend PJ’s place since he’s at work, and I didn’t feel like going out since it was storming out and the fact that I’m a cheap bastard. Been playing on his pc, installing different operating systems, since he had wiped his clean the other night. Played around with SUSE, then put on OSX86 but after it finished installing I ended up getting a BO error, and PJ read something about having to use Hiren’s Boot Disc, but since I have no way of getting ahold of him, I never had that issue fixed. So then I wiped it clean and put Vista x64 on it to play with it and see what it’s all about. It’s definitely nice, that’s for sure.

I really like how it’s set up, but I think that SUSE was …. for lack of a vocabulary, pretty. Other than that I’ve really been enjoying myself up here, even though I’ve been here since late Tuesday night. I’m not sure when I’m going to leave because gas is pretty expensive up here ($3.15/gal) and I’m really happy to be up here. I danno though yet, so we’ll see. I might leave here next week, but it’s definitely going to be hard to leave. I’m not looking forward to have to drive back down to Houston. :\

Time to get to work on some stuff right now, gotta catch up on the couple of days I wasn’t online. *sigh*

Thank the new theme from smackfoo.com and 5thirtyone.com for it, since I was too lazy to try to create my own. Well not so much lazy but I’ve been busy with a few designs for clients that I didn’t have much time to share. ‘Tis really pretty so I did minimal editing. Eventually I’ll tire of the colors and change them, but for now it’s going good.

IE users beware, there might be some issues with the css positioning (especially in the footer). I also think there’s an issue with width for anyone that’ll be using 800×600 or lower. So far everything looks fine in FF though, so I think it’s good to go. Comment if you find any errors and you know how to fix them, any help is appreciated :)

Things are looking good right now. My grandma sent me a letter that made me feel really guilty for having put off talking to her for the past few months. She also slipped in some money for me, so that’ll definitely help me out for awhile since I’m still on the hunt to replace Best Buy.

I think I might cave in and buy a new Seagate drive so I can put linux on it. I’m not even sure if I want it to have Ubuntu, because I’ve kind of had an eye on SUSE Linux desktop edition. *drools* I don’t know though, we’ll see. I might try to get Rem to download all of my programs and burn them to my dvds, and I might just reformat my computer and put it on there, and just run Windows and whatever else in VMware. Though I’ll have to back up my new files to dvds, and use my old disk in the enclosure to transfer back over old photos, music, and website files.

I’ve been getting annoyed at my site’s bloat (more so in the backbone aspect of it) so I’ve been trimming away some of the access (deactivating plugins I haven’t used yet, or will not use) and adding in some new ones (WP-Page Navi, Bread Crumb Trail) to try to spruce things up and better the navigation.

You’ll definitely see some 404’s and fuckups until I can get them sorted out. Right now I’m trying to figure out what plugin is interferring with my PHPEXEC plugin, and it’s proving rather tedious and annoying. I might end up just caving in and creating a page template for it, even though I didn’t want to go that route. *bratty*

Well, looks like I’ll be offering reseller plans for sure :) Now I just have to work on finishing the rest of the design for Holdfire Network so that when everything is up and running, I can put it up.

Ever since I posted my entry about going shooting with a Glock 23, I’ve gotten so many google searches being referred here. The latest one was for alarm glock clock. I can only imagine how this person imagined it to look like, or hell, how it operates.

I can see it right now. It’s a black Glock 23 that’s resting in a rubber hand holding it, and where you cock it to load the gun is where the digital clock is at–Because you know, who has patience to read an analog clock on a gun? The trigger is how you set the clock, and the alarm. The alarm is the sound of gunshots. Or maybe we’ll have some blanks come out of the gun too, to add to the effect.

Damn, that’d be an awesome alarm cock. I should patent it.
