The News

 

23 March 2003:  Needless to say, I’m back, and working on the next update, in which our hero learns of big city life, and why it sucks to not have a day to rest for half a month.  Also, until someone proves me wrong, I’ve given up the idea of submissions as a lost cause.

 

In other news, I think this stupid “war on Iraq”, and “war on terrorism” sucks.  I generally intend to reserve these outbursts for something more like the Ideas page, but this really can’t wait.  I won’t expound here, though.  However, I will say that I expect you all to have an opinion.  If you don’t, that’s alright.  Surprising, but alright.  If you do, you better be able to back it up with some decent thought and consideration.  I’ve met too many followers in this area, lately.  Tell me your opinions through the Contact page.  I’ll be waiting. . . .

 

Today in history (1743 to be exact), George Frideric Handel’s Messiah debuts.

 

=========================================

 

2 March 2003:  The Ideas section is finally up, so you can all peruse the slowly growing meanderings of MY INNER SELF.  Brain Food won’t disappear, either.  It’ll become a graphic representation area.  Affiliations is in danger of disappearing though.  However, for now, I’m going to remove them from the site, so that they aren’t empty links (one of my biggest pet peeves) anymore.

 

Also, there might not be a decent update for a couple weeks, as I’m going to Chicago for spring break.  That is followed quickly by some intense school activity.  But you all know that you’ll get the full low down when I get the chance.

 

=========================================

 

28 February 2003:  Links section is up.  Working on stuff for Ideas section.  Send me ideas, so I can capitalize on them.  Don’t worry, I’ll acknowledge your responsibility for anything I might use.

 

I might get rid of the Brain Food category.  I’m having enough trouble filling up the normal Ideas.  It might be replaced with a (groan and gasp) picture type section.  Might be replaced.  Also, anyone that has a serious picture of me (that is, not wearing my snaggle-toothed grin), send it to me, as I’ll probably play with it, and use that as the site’s logo.

 

==========================================

 

26 (or 27, depending on how you look at it) February 2003:  Well, I’m working on getting the website finished up.  The Ideas section is, as always, forcing writer’s block on me.  But I’ve had a lot of stuff happen, lately, and the flood gates are actually pretty close to bursting.  It’s just getting it out in the right form that poses the problem.  Chances are, though, I’ll just get it all done in one feverish night this weekend.

 

Also, I’m thinking of beginning a section wherein you submit something, and I review and post it.  This won’t exactly be like a guestbook.  A far cry indeed.  This is where you might be able to get your stuff heard online.  I’ve already submitted the URL for this site to Google.com, and though I don’t know when it’ll show up, I’m pretty sure it will, eventually.

 

Finally, if you have a suggestion, question, or want your website posted in the upcoming Paths section, e-mail me.  I won’t tell you how to do this.  Though, if you can’t figure it out, I have no respect for you, or anyone else that is intentionally blind.

 

==========================================

 

23 February 2003:  There won’t be a decent update for a bit, as I’m kind of recovering from my weekend.  Suffice it to say that I’m still alive, my car still hates me, and driving really doesn’t have the old appeal it had, currently.  If you REALLY want to know, however, e-mail me. 

 

. . . . . . . .No, I won’t tell you right here what my address is.  Look around.  If you know me, you’ll know it anyway.

 

============================================================

 

20 February 2003:  Basic work is beginning on this site.  I’m kinda new at this, so one really can’t expect a huge, amazing thing that shows what a guru of HTML that I am.  Which is the real joke, as I’m using Microslop Word to make this.  But you’re here, and you aren’t supposed to really have an opinion on the construction methods.  As they say, “It’s like making sausage.”  And you really don’t want to see me making this product, do you?  It’s not nearly as exciting as sausage, anyway.

 

(By the way, anything like Microslop Word isn’t because I dislike a particular mondo-millionaire company that happens to make operating systems.  I think they’re probably the best thing going for computers, right now.  But at the same time, I don’t want to be threatened with copyright laws, and have to rewrite news sections, or anything company related.  Though it is fun to say Microslop.  Come on, try it.  It’ll be the next craze of the nation.)
