Can't imagine that this will last long if the MLA finds out about it….but here you go.

So, I start working at the House Library today as a desk guy for the Collaboratory. The Collab is a fancy term for really high tech computer lab, primarily designed for students to be able to scan, edit basic video, utilize higher-end software, etc…I'm looking forward to it.

Ok…this blog is stopping, I think, as of today. Everything will now go to my new blog, as linked to below. This will stick around for backlinks, etc….the new blog has a link, and the old stuff won’t go away. So, if anyone cares, update your links….

New Blog, New Beginning
Ok…after much testing, it looks like this thing is live. Certain things may change (especially some of the layout, once I dig my fingers into the CSS) but I think this is how I'm going to handle my blog from here on out. Update links as necessary.

Ok guys…as I said, I’ve been working on getting a new blog setup going, and I think it’s nearly ready. Take a look, tell me what you like or don’t like…I’m going to Radio, I think, for it’s flexibility (I’ve wanted to break a blog into pieces and post different things to different blogs, and this allows me to do that easily). As well, the comments are built in, with the whole thing controlable by me and not Blogger.
Anway, see what you think.

Still working on new blog….Radio seems to do 99% of the stuff I want, but customizing the look is driving me nuts. They use a bunch of ASP macros to do the blogging functions, but the “look” of the page is escaping me. A bit more work before I give up and use one of their built in themes….new link will go up here when I finish.
AND>….in other news, spent all weekend with friends Chrysty, Travis, and my mom and dad watching Betsy graduate with her PhD. After many nightmares not worth explaining in a public forum, everything went off like clockwork, and she was “hooded” on Saturday and picked up her diploma today. Just incredibly cool…I am so proud of the work she did to get here. It’s a weird thing having 1/6th of your life encapsulated in a sheet of paper, but that seems to be the way it works. 🙂
Congrats, Bets….you deserve _everything_ you’ve gotten….
