What’s going on!
So. This morning was a wash. Woke up at 11:30, which leaves little to no time for anything before work.
I currently have a few projects that I'm working on that l hope to remain focused on. I'm looking to switch Nervous Reflex from php-fusion to Drupal. There's really nothing wrong with php-fusion, there's just some other features that I'd like to have on the site that Drupal supports natively. I'm also experimenting with Drupal as an internal network site. Along with that I'm going to be looking into creating custom themes for both sites. This will hopefully get me back into some decent graphic design routine which has been sorely missed in my life. That reminds me, I'll be spending the weekend in Vermont, I think I'm just going to pack a sketchbook and a few pencils (probably a box full). I don't know what kind of time I'll have to dedicate to drawing but hopefully I'll get a couple hours in.
In regard to the seemingly failed podcast over at Nervous Reflex, I'm not giving up! I've purchased a headset with a microphone. Yeah it was Cheap as hell but it seems to work well. I've been working on a Solid format fur the show, blocking out topics to time.
Rifling through life
So recently it was suggested to are that I start blogging again. the point being that I may need away to dump some frustration out in to the wild.
Crap! I just lost a whole lot of text, damn pocket pc!
Anyway I was ever so eloquently explaining that I quit smoking only to succumb to the evil vice once again. the most unfortunate part of starting back up again is not that it was the wrong choice but that it really hurt and angered my fiance. You see I kept it secret, knowing full well that most things people hide are exactly the things the others will readily discover. Now I have to start all over again, another hard fought battle between myself and a ridiculously addictive drug.
Blogging from work!
A very rare opportunity here in the hangar... time for posting.
I have some news for anyone who reads this craplog. First, I'm getting married, sometime... I asked my girlfriend of two and a half years to get hitched and she agreed. The reason why? That may not have been the best decision she ever made but only time will tell though it may be the best decision I ever made. Secondly or rather nextly... finally (maybe), I have launched the Nervous Reflex podcast... the podcast is going to deal with topics from the science and tech front as well as gaming news I see fit to yap about. The first episode is already up at the site and tomorrow I'll be havin' me some of St. Pat's private stock and pumping out an overdue number two... podcast not an original number two that would be kinda disturbing.
Ditched php-fusion
I decided to ditch php-fusion as the the primary cms that this site is using. With my discovery of Performancing I decided that I want a 'blog' again. So thats the purpose of this site, I need to keep myself from falling for the myspaces and bloggers of the 'net and just use the space I pay for as the same thing only better right. Anyway thats it... Mr. Scott should be getting an update anytime now.
XM Radio
I've since discovered that Sirius satellite radio happens to have channels that I'd be much more inclined to listen to. Jam On 17 is a remarkable station that happens to cater to the likes of me. Anyway I'm no longer interested in things satellite, I'm making do with more down to Earth type things. I picked up a little mp3 player after christmas and have since been downloading all manner of podcasts and listening to them at work. I must be getting old, realizing that you'd rather listen to the geek equivalent of AM talk radio gives me chills... so I put a few albums on for good measure.
Original post follows....
A while ago now I was at a party at a friends house. One of the people I met happened to have this XM device with him, we checked the score of the Red Sox game with it. Anyway we were talking about it and he mentioned that there was a 30-day trial on-line. So today I checked the XM site and discovered that the 30-day trial was only available if you had recently purchased a Dell... crap. There is however a 3-day free trial and I signed up for that. Which is handy because now when the trial is up it'll be time to try one of my Homestyle Dill Pickles. I'm not too impressed with the internet service they're letting me try, the player kept buffering every song... sometimes twice a song, on cable! I was still impressed by the device that guy had, it had news, sports, stocks... all available right there at the touch of your fingers. Now I've seen this peice of digital wizardry for sale at around $300, way out of affordability reach. But I did see some other one for $50, I'm wondering if it can display the news too, because then I'd be all set.
