On Life and Love

Whatever is making or breaking my day.

    del.icio.us is back!

    Not that it went away anywhere other than on this site, but, well, these things happen. Instead of fighting with Eric Anderson’s Del.icio.us Integrator for WordPress (which decided to stop working suddenly [possibly related to my upgrade to WP 1.5.2]), I’m using del.icio.us’s own JavaScript method (called linkrolls) of displaying links. Thusly, I am again displaying links. The way it’s set up is all slick and dynamic and stuff. Now, if I can just kill the damn PHP error on my archive page… (Oh, and for completely unrelated linkage, see this. *grin* I feel famous.)

    Three things: pass it forward

    Stolen from Krista: List 3 things that bug you – things that others may find trivial. If you have an idea on how to fix it, be sure to put that down too. Then tag 6 of your friends. Only list three things because you may/can be tagged again. Slowness – Not just ordinary slowness. I mean slowness in getting started on things that you know need to be done. I mean stopping in the middle of a project to dick around and leaving shit in shambles while you frolic. I mean dragging a five hour project out over two or three days. I also mean being late getting places…

    Scariest thing ever.

    Dreamhost‘s “Let’s Save Our Environment” “music video”. Jebus, I couldn’t stop laughing at that poor man. Watch it, including the little credits box at the end. I dare you. Dreamhost is also hosting a Remix Contest related to that video–winner gets free hosting for life. If I had the l33t audio/video skillz, I’d hack that shit up. In other news, today is my last day at work. I’m also having a new bed delivered to the apartment this afternoon. The summer is coming to an end, but it’s been marvelous.

    Skills I didn’t realize I didn’t have.

    So I have this bike. See the pretty bike. You know how people say that riding a bike is a skill you never lose? I wonder if those people ever went seven or eight years without riding a bike, then tried to hop on one. Yeah, that was a little scary, particularly on skinny little road bike tires. The bike’s a little big for me; benefits of being short and stubby, I suppose. I also don’t have a name for it. “Sexy Bike (TM)” is already taken by Mae’s… well, sexy bike. I took it on campus early this morning (before anyone would be awake on a Saturday to see…

    Pigs, dogs, squirrels…

    So I’m working back in the hardware shop now, breaking fixing the internals of laptops and doing reloads. I was replacing the hard drive in a friend’s laptop, and as I was checking on the status of the file backup from the old drive, I noticed she had some rather funny data. Nothing scary, just something that made me laugh. Travis and I ended up having the following exchange in the shop: Me: I want to pick on her about it, but that’d be unethical. You can’t pick on people about what you happen to see on their hard drive when backing up their files. Travis: You can if you…
