*Sigh*. I want to use the latest CommentWorks, which would e-mail me every time a new comment was posted, so I don’t have to visit my own site to find the comments left by people and thus screw up my site stats. However .net playground (my wonderfully free web host) doesn’t support JMail, the component used by Adrian Frost to make the MailBack feature. So I am attempting to use CDOSYS (and save my files as .aspx) as suggested by .net playground. I have never had any luck with this crap, and doubt I will start to now. But I shall continue to experiment….

The above describes my opinion of the last several hours of trying to make w.Bloggar work with BlogWorks XML. I just keep having to take deep breaths and telling myself that Max (my laptop) won’t work for me anymore if I beat the living crap out of him. Besides, it’s not his fault. I don’t know whose fault it is. I can access the listen.asp file from my browser, and the XML’s string element says “error parsing the xml passed to the server : rpcserver(1)”. Maybe that’s okay, given that I’m not using the app I’m supposed to to access it, just IE. But when I attempt to connect with…

That dude that writes the BlogWorks XML app (used on this page) noticed this site (a link to his page in in my about box on the right). Wow. I feel so special. It’s one thing to hear compliments and criticisms about your sites from your buddies, because… well, because they’re your buddies, but to get a compliment on content and design from a stranger who knows ASP (better than I do) and web design techniques and stuff… and stuff… I feel so special. I am reduced to giddy giggles. *Big, cheesy smile* As you can tell, I don’t get compliments from complete strangers often. The guy from freontech.com said…

My buddy Michael is an odd guy; he’s engaged to his “la hermosa”, namely Jenny, and seems to never look at another girl (other than Denise Richards, but then, who doesn’t?). But he has this thing with endearments. I’m unconfortable with my best friends calling me names like “deary” or “honey”, but Michael takes the cake. I’m sitting in Calculus, just before the final bell, on the day after Christmas break. I’m barely awake (see my entry “Ugh. Is it morning already?”) and just waiting. All of a sudden, I hear a voice in my ear saying “Hello, precious..” and my much belated gift is passed over my shoulder. “Precious”?…

First off, I strongly dislike musicals. All that droning and singing and stuff doesn’t get it for me. The only musical I have ever loved was The Sound of Music. Corny, right? I like quietly loud movies like Cast Away. That said… Wow. Damn. I am in awe. Assuming everyone was singing with their own voices (even Richard Gere), everyone had great voices, particularly Zeta-Jones. She played her role extremely well, as did everyone. Gere was hilarious and very attractive (something I usually don’t say about him). Queen Latifah was great, although she was a little bigger than I was expecting (surely those boobies were not all hers; she wouldn’t…
