Hi.
Here's what i've been thinking about lately: Do our readers know our email addresses? We have an email address at the bottom of the page for general site comments, but it is rarely, if ever, utilized. Also, both michael and I have individual email addresses, but you can only mind when I include it in a post, as my name up at the top of the entry refers you to my instant mesenger screen name. So, I thought to myself, should I do something to make it easier for people to contact me? Yes, I decided, but not now because you are too lazy to code something up here at work by hand(!) when you can do it in the wonderful, beautiful, and delicious Dreamweaver at home. (In case you're wondering how I manage these posts from work without dw [I know you're not, but lets pretend], I'll let you in on the secret. I put together a crappy html page that uses javascript to insert all the tags and stuff for me. I just type the text, press a few buttons, paste the entry into the index file, and upload it. It's all very easy, although it will get even easier when michael finishes working on the php backend he has promised to write). (Putting long boring things in parentheses is fun). (I wonder if I overuse these things?)
What this whole internal monologue means, beside the fact that I am very strange, is that when I get home I will work on a contact page for myself. It really shouldn't be too hard, and I probably would have no trouble coding it up here at work, but why do now what you can out off until later?
With that out of the way, it's time for me to simulate actual content by providing links to sites you probably all know about already. Like thirtyfour.org, one of my favorite weblogs. In fact it may hold the title of favorite weblog all by itself. I figure that's pretty good praise coming from someone who spends way too much time reading blogs. Another site you should go visit is robotstories.com. It's a pretty good online comic.
Well, that's about it for now. I ordered a new (to me, it's actually refurbished, but I can deal with that for a $250 discount) monitor yesterday (it's black to match my new computer. I would provide a picture of the new computer, but I'm too lazy to find one. Try digging around in the Images directory and see what you can come up with), and I need to go check the order status page. Last time I was there it said "Awaiting Inventory." I'm thinking this is a bad sign. Heads will roll if I don't get the damn thing soon. (That's the only drawback to buying things online: no instant gratification).
Later.
Update: Click on my name up above or here for contact info and other stuff.
