Wherefore art thou blogging?

So you see I stopped updating. I don’t think I would blame it on any one thing. I’ve had the free time, but I never found the urge to write, or the content to publish. Maybe this summer I’ll find more drive to write. In between I still post interesting articles and pictures, and publish interesting things I find on the web. I would like to start a more serious blogging effort eventually. There is a cooperative in the works between myself and a Duong or two, maybe a few others. Look forward to it.

Balking

It so happens that at least four of the rooms on the basement floor here have been without internet connection since the power outage, including my room-to-be. I could have been completely moved in by tonight, but not without internet, so I’m spending my last night in 117 avoiding the problems that plagued me when I first moved into it. Since I’m the most experienced in dealing with the blokes at ResNet, I’m going over there tomorrow morning to talk to them for all of us on the floor.
Also, notice the inclusion of integrated pictures on the right. There’s some of my new room to get you started off. From now on most of my pics (including these) will be taken with my cell phone camera, so some things might end up unnecessarily blurry.

Continuing Improvement

I’m still making small tweaks here and there to the site. I’m hoping to eventually have a pretty good index of any website I’ve ever visited more than a few times in the My Links page. I keep remembering one website here or there, but by the time I get around to adding it in, I’ve forgotten it. Eventually I’ll be done with it and move on to other new features.

Getting Cranking

I’d say the site is coming along well now. I brought across my guides from Google Pages, which was one thing that I had always wanted to do: have one unified site for all my stuff. I may eventually move my stuff I have hosted over there too, but I don’t have as much free storage space on WordPress. It’s definitely going to be hard trying to split my posts between here and my Xanga though. I may resort to posting the same thing here and there for a short time.

First Post

Right now this is mostly just an experiment. Half to try out Wordpress for the same reason I’m running Windows Vista RC2, half to see if I can hold up any blog (excuse me, blag) besides my Xanga. Some might wonder what this ‘Wordpress thing’ is, and really, the easiest way to sum it up is “better than Xanga.” Really it’s a blog site, with free hosting, just like Xanga is, but vastly better as far as features go. I’ll be sure to explain to the world what’s going on with the awesomeness, but that can wait for later. This is, after all, only my first post.
