It was time to start separating my “professional” content from the personal stuff and give me a better place for /etc, so here’s the new blog. It’s got all of the buzzwords too, like flickr, AJAX, and even del.icio.us. 
I doubt I’ll get around to designing my own theme or doing much more than is easily automagically fancy, so this will have to do. I guess the good thing is I’ll be able to start writing/linking to stuff that interests me outside of software poo.
As for news and general life updates, I’ve really been very burnt-out on school (yet again) lately and decided to take a long break from it. It eats up all of my free time and between it and work it makes me very one dimensional. I’ll eventually go back like I always do, but I really need a break from it for awhile. I honestly struggle with whether or not I should finish. Part of me wants to take a few more of my CS theory classes and call it a day, and the other part wants to finish-up the degree and for some reason consider grad school.
I’ve started back up again on some minor projects around the house, and would finally like to start restoration/performance work on the Z in the Summer since I don’t plan on being back in school for at least a year. Lately I’ve also been poking around in Django as well as starting to browse through a Java certification book in my free time. I’ve been working in Java fairly exclusively (finally!) for a couple of months now and find myself enjoying it a lot more than doing scripting despite all of the falsehoods about how it’s “dead” now. Maybe it’s just because it’s a new tool, time will tell, but I find it actually enjoyable because of the tool support for it. That and I’m dealing with fun Computer Science problems like connection pooling and thread blocking rather than “can you make that phone red?” type boring bullshit.
Right now I’m on a needed two week break from teh works and am getting caught-up on a lot of things that I’ve been needing to get done.
Anyhow, I doubt I’ll write too many posts like this in the new blog as it keeps the stalkers a bit too informed. Not to mention, this isn’t a LiveJournal.
Oh, one other fleeting update after pulling an all-nighter to get this blog setup– it snowed.
Consider yourself stalked…
You should get a LiveJournal, they’re pretty much the best thing ever. You know you want to.
I think I was too old for LiveJournal long ago.
Speaking of stalking, you’re now linked from here!
looks good.
