first there was music..
and now I have a personal weblog too. still kinda experimenting with the whole “not writing your own weblog software” idea - it’s a weird idea. one I’m not at all accustomed to, since my last two weblogs (which were really just one I suppose, just with different styling later on) ran on code I wrote. yay for recursive functions.
so now we have a new venue for me to rant about odd things (though, to be honest, I’ll probably just forget to update this like I do everything else). my plate is full as ever; I have two real live commercial jobs, one contract, and one “hey let’s go do something cool!” project going on. in addition I have my own stuff running - latest is something called “randoblog”, which I (amazingly) bought the dot-com for last night. that’s going to be a blogroll for the lazy; basically a link you click on to be transported to a random weblog on the internets, with the added side benefit of being able to get to a big categorized list of weblogs. it’s actually coming along. I haven’t succumbed to puffy-tail syndrome on it yet and am therefore amazed.
one thing that’s really awesome is that I’m actually starting to get excited about technology again - I’ve been looking at ruby on rails a bit, and exploring all the neat stuff that Mac OS X 10.4 does now and getting really interested in how easy and useful most of this stuff is. Ajax is veddy interesting as well. good stuff all around.
speaking of computers, I’m damned near 100% mac now.. my PC died so now I have a Mac mini to replace it and am looking into getting an older titanium PowerBook G4. everything just seems to work better. and I finally got a new Apple keyboard that I don’t hate. but then I’ve only had it for a few hours. we’ll see how badly it works in a month.
