Check out the actual post I guess. That sort of ruin's the point of having a summary, but I'm sure I had a great reason for making the blog this Nickhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13555394818051448924noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21294700.post-1153987070643329952006-07-27T02:53:00.000-05:002006-07-27T02:57:50.670-05:00What happened to going to bed early? Mood: Accomplished! Its only a few hours since I last posted, but I spent most of them updating the site. I added the summaries to the main posts with a little different formatting. I added all the music I've recently listened to in the header of the page (I'll get a better header that isn't totally obstructed - something simpler).

"All of us failed to match our dreams of perfection. So I rate us on the basis of our splendid failure to do the impossible." -William Faulkner (1897 - 1962) Wow, I'm surprised that I found the desire to come back to this. I started this all a month ago, wrote for a week, took one fleeting glance back at it, and then left it for dead. And yeat I have returned.

It seems that I just don't need this when I'm not totally depressed and lonely. When life is going good and I'm busy, I don't really have time to go online and read news and post on a blog. Of course, being busy means that all my friends aren't in class or doing homework or studying for finals. And since I'm not in work I Nickhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13555394818051448924noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21294700.post-1151708122540840932006-06-30T17:51:00.000-05:002006-06-30T17:55:22.596-05:00No News, Short PostMusic: Wolfmother Mood: Eh... "I generally avoid temptation unless I can't resist it." -Mae West I changed the layout again. There wasn't anything interesting in the news today. News is always better early in the week. I got my camera back, but I couldn't seem to take the photos I wanted to. Overall, a very short post. I changed the layout again.

I also managed to find time to write a very long post about it. And cover lots of neat news items. I had a long day at work.

There seemed to be a minor issue with an image, but that's not really a problem. I actually did a lot of reading today. Mondays always seem to be the best days for news. I'm not sure why that is, but I have noticed it for the last few weeks. Digg vs Slashdot It seems that Digg is the new big thing.

I've been doing installs and re-installs of suse linux on my main desktop computer, and also installed flock there, but never got around to using it. I used to run Windows Server 2003 64-bit on my desktop. Actually, I had 2 desktops, but one decided to start eating hard drives, so I had to decomission it.

It seemed like the only reason to do it, but I just spent an hour or so looking for all of my old blogs. I would stop writing them once I got really embarrassed about what I had said and was afraid people would come back and read them later. Of course, looking back now is more nostalgic than anything else.

I was pretty elated, and I think I was still living in my old dorm, looking over the city as the sun came up. I could be wrong, but there were many nights where I never slept and saw the sun rise over the skyline of NYC.I did end up moving into another dorm.

Some friends and I decided to go see it, but unfortunately it was sold out for the show time we had selected. We swore that we would Fandango these things from now on, and bought tickets for the next showing: 10:55.
