So, it's been forever. I can't help it. Things are going well. I've got a decent job. Living the life as it were. Hopefully I can keep the site up to date. I'm hopefully going to be starting the biz soon. We'll see how that goes. For the first year since we split up, I didn't talk to Sara on her birthday. I have yet yo see how that works out. Hopefully well. I guess we'll see won't we. Other than all that drama, SSDD. Late.

So I've been playing around with the new Enlightenment. I'm switching to it from kde4 which I think is going in a bad direction. Unfortunately, it's kind of hard to know what's going on with e17 when you first get started. With that in mind, I'm going to make a table of all the apps in their svn repo and what they do

Apollo and I went to the Houston Great Dane Meetup Howliday Party last night. He had a blast. He also wore me out having to herd him and keep him on his best behavior for nearly 3 hours.

I just got done porting django-webmail to django-1.0. I hadn't spent any time on d-w in quite some time. I think some people were starting to think it was abandoned. It's not, I just haven't had much free time lately.

I'm going to be working on some other parts of it too. Hopefully I'll get some good work done on it before I get busy again.

So I have need for a daemon written in python that can run things at intervals and respond to requests over the network. After some looking around, I came to the conclusion that using pyevent or pyev (python wrappers around libevent and libev respectively) is probably my best bet. pyev requires a patched libev and pyevent requires libevent (which is in apt), so ease of installation wise pyevent wins for now. It looks like it'll be pretty easy to switch later if I need to.

On to the fun part. Installing libevent is a breeze:

    $ sudo apt-get install libevent1 libevent-dev python2.5-dev

pyevent requires a little more work:

    $ sudo apt-get install libevent-dev python2.5-dev
    $ wget http://pyevent.googlecode.com/files/pyevent-0.3.tar.gz
    $ tar -xf pyevent-0.3.tar.gz
    $ make

    $ sudo make install

• 9/12
• 3:45 - at the firkin after a grocery run, gonna grab some grub, no rain yet, wind is picking up
• 4:04 - still nothing, the news reports as usual make it seem like the end of days, I don't think it'll bitch out like the last couple storms, but I don't think they should be comparing it to Alicia or the 1900 hurricane
• 5:52 - not much of a live blog, mainly because nothing interesting is happening yet, wind gusts up to "maybe" 35mph, we used to have a weather station on the roof I could check, but not anymore
• 7:35 - still no rain, but the wind is picking up, went up on the roof at work and had to lean into the wind, from what I saw on the news it's going to be rough, still doubt it's going to live up to the media hype

• 8:37 - yes, I know the formatting is messed up, I would love to fix it, but I'm too lazy and dumb

• 9/13

• 12:25 - Nothing to report really, the storm wasn't too terrible, I've been through worse anyways, power never went off

• 5:19 - drove from Jonny and Allie's place, roads are pretty messed up, a lot of places look power less, the office is half powered, the back room here flooded too, my turntables and mixer were in the back room, my mixer might be toast, but I think the turntables are fine

• 9/14

• 7:59 - So after getting smacked around by Ike the likes of which Tina Turner doesn't even know, it's raining again, there's only about half power here at the office, water is kind of back on, it's enough to wash your hands, but not enough to flush the toilet, the continued rain is probably going to slow down electric/water/traffic/etc crews

I made a new rsync repo so it'll be easier for people to use the kde4 MacPorts.

Just add rsync://theiggy.com/ports/4.1-svn to /opt/local/etc/macports/sources.conf above the existing macports line.

So, it should now look like this:

\# MacPorts system wide sources configuration file
\# $Id: sources.conf 26177 2007-06-15 10:11:22Z jmpp@macports.org $
\#
\# To enable your local ports repository, uncomment and customize the
\# following line to point at your local ports directory
\# Example: file:///Users/landonf/misc/MacPorts/ports
\#
\# To prevent a source from synchronizing when `port sync` is used,
\# append [nosync] to the end of the line
\# Example: file:///Users/landonf/misc/MacPorts/dports [nosync]
\#
\# To get the ports tree from the MacPorts rsync.macports.org server use:
\# rsync://rsync.macports.org/release/ports/
rsync://theiggy.com/ports/4.1-svn
rsync://rsync.macports.org/release/ports/

That's it, you're ready to go.

The basics:

1. setup rsync how you want
2. make sure you can rsync from your rsync server to a client like normal
3. MAKE THE PortIndex FILE!!!!!
4. KEEP THE PortIndex FILE UP TO DATE!!!!

I'm working on some MacPorts Portfile's for installing kde4 applications on OS X. If you want to see them, for now, you'll have to email me or track me down on irc (iggy in #kde-mac on irc.freenode.net). Hopefully I'll soon have them in the macports tree or some other publicly accessible repository.

That's the name of my new business. I've already got it up and going and have my first two clients. Hopefully, I'll have lots to report soon. Like when I make my first million and that sort of thing.

So, as some of you may know, I've been homeless for a while. I was crashing on a friends couch, and I decided I need to stop being a drain on my friends. So I've been sleeping in my car (when I actually sleep, which isn't often). For anyone considering this path for their own life... Don't!

You know you've made some bad choices in your life when you wake up in your car, sweating balls because it's over 90F outside and you're covered in a fine sheet of gnats and mosquitos.

On day five with only about two and a half hours of sleep total. I figured I'd be a lot worse off at this point. I guess what little sleep I've had was well positioned. I am starting to get a little wobbly and my vision keeps getting blurry. All in all, not bad though.

How come every time I hit record before I mix, I instantly get stupid? It makes no sense. I'm really not that bad otherwise. I've attempted to record 2 separate mixes for the past week and a half or so. They always end up shit.

i'm just testing the ability to post blog posts from my phone. It may or may not work.

A. Smile - If you look like someone just killed your beloved pet/mikegrb/sister/etc, it's not a good picture.

B. Use An Actual Camera - Digital or film doesn't matter, at least 3 megapixels with an actual lens system. They also usually have some concept of shutter speed or stabilization technology so the picture isn't almost totally blurred. I only know 1 cell phone that fits this requirement.

C. Steady Hands - If you must take a picture with a cell phone, don't pick your friend that looks like they are having withdrawal symptoms take the picture. It's going to turn out bad.

D. No Post Production - Don't take that old picture of you and your ex and cut him off with Photoshop. Everybody knows that's what you did. It's pretty obvious. Also, don't try to make yourself look thinner by squishing the picture. It distorts everything else, and once again, everyone can tell.

E. No Artists - Don't try to get artsy with the lighting/angles/etc. to make yourself look different. Anyone that's not dumber than a rock is going to see through your rouse.

That is all for this evening. We now return you to your regularly scheduled program.

Apollo's Gallery

Check him out. He's the cutest.

I've been watching a new show called Traveler. I recommend it. It's a good one.

I met someone tonight named Sunshine Winters. I know what you are thinking... totally sounds like a porn name right? I even stopped to ask if that was her real name. It was... kind of crazy huh? I felt kind of silly after I asked if that was her real name. But what can you do.... It was a fun night in any case. Except Cheryl got kind of beligerant (sp?). She can't help it.

Somehow I just managed to sleep until about 7:20 at night. That's impressive even for me. This of course means my sleep schedule will be hosed for the next 3-5 days. Yay, can't wait.

I've been watching the first season of 30 Rock the last few days. It's a great show. I need to find a girl like Liz Lemon. That is all.

The guys that I ran into that one night have finally settled with my insurance company. This is good news because there was a mild threat that they would try to come after me directly, but that's all gone now. I'm thrilled by this news.

So, I was looking for something to download certain types of files from an rss feed. There's something for OSX and something written in java. Both not what I'm looking for.

What do i do? I wrote my own. It's not something like all those other apps. It's simple and runs from cron instead of running some service the whole time my computer is on. It's simple, it's python, it works for me.

Maybe some day, I'll release it to the masses. For now, it's all mine.

p.s. I'm working on one of the baddest ass servers at work

For anyone who doesn't already know and who reads this site (is that anyone?)... I'm renting out the upstairs of The GrassHopper downtown for my birthday. Anyone is welcome to come. Email dnb@theiggy.com, email me, or leave a comment here to get on the guest list (it's a pseudo private party).

Check the flyer for the details.

I'd forgotten how much I actually like cooking. I've been doing it a lot lately. Mostly to avoid going out to eat every night. Or worse, eating fast food every night. Also the money saving aspect (although I haven't really seen much savings yet since I keep having to buy utensils and other supplies that I don't have).

I should go take a cooking class. Sharpen my skills and it's probably a great way to meet women.

I have a few... err.... other.... classes to take care of first.

I've been looking around for some web development frameworks for use with a project I'm about to start at work. I've looked at a few. Symfony looked good. I'm also looking at Django (actually "leaning more towards it" is a better description). It looks nice. It has a lot of features that would come in handy for this project. The only draw back is I'm the only one in the office that knows python. It may still win in spite of that. It has admin features for free and I've just been looking at some examples and tips for Django on b-list.

I've been thinking some this morning. I kind of relapsed to my old ways last night. It was unintentional, but it happened none-the-less. If I had to go out last night, I should have been responsible and taken into account that I had to be at a meeting this morning. I didn't. I accept responsibility. I didn't majorly screw up or anything this morning, but I didn't help things at all either. Anyways, back to my thinking... All this, this "life" I've been living for the past year and a half or so is all part of some twisted coping mechanism and some vain attempt at being happy. I don't know where I got this strange view on life that makes me believe drinking and partying myself into a hole that I'm ill equipped to escape from is going to turn out the way I want it to. It's easy to blame parents or society or any number of other things for the way we turn out. In the end it's just another way to escape accountability. I'm perfectly aware of what's right and wrong. Yet time and time again I do wrong things. I hurt people. I let people down. I make my life what it is. Not anyone else. I know what to do (for the most part) to make my life better. I just don't do these things. Instead I do stupid things that get me in a lot of trouble and make my life go in directions it doesn't need to. I'm slowly starting to realize these things. And I'm slowly starting to realize I need to change. It won't be easy. I've tried to change certain of my ways in the past. It generally hasn't worked out all that well. I just need to keep trying (also one of my ways that needs changing...). I've got a long road ahead of me. I'll have good times and bad times. I will have relapses (not in the abuse sense). They may be brief. They may last a while. I will get through them. I've still got a lot to learn. I don't even know everything I need to know to complete this task I've set for myself. That may well be one of the most frightening aspects of this for me. As we all know, fear is something that has constantly held me back. Fear of failure mostly (also something I need to work on changing). I've foregone trying so many things in life for fear of failure. I'm not going to kid myself and say "all that changes today". Change of this magnitude takes time. It will likely take me more time that it would take other people. I'll keep trying to keep trying. Eventually I will get there.

I went to a club and didn't drink. I even stayed till closing. I had to drink straight red bull to stay awake. The smoke killed my eyes. Otherwise, it was a good show.

You never realize how hard it is to give something up until you are faced with actually giving it up. I suppose that's a pretty good definition for addiction. I'm doing pretty well with it though. Mostly because I'm staying away from temptation. Tonight is likely to be my first big test. I'm going to a show tonight at a club. Hopefully I'll be able hold out.

Also, I'm bored and waiting to be seated at Outback. I'm sadly eating alone tonight. I need to get some friends that can afford to eat out every once in a while.

So, in about 8 minutes, I'll be celebrating 2 weeks of sobriety. In the past 2 years or so, that's a record for me. I once tried to go a month without drinking and lasted 4 days. I haven't been very good about controlling my drinking. Hopefully, this is the start of a new better period in my life. Only time will tell I suppose.

YAY! I made it to San Diego. No issues. Everyone looked scared out of their minds when they got off the plane, but I slept through all of it. Apparently the flight was like an hour late. Also didn't notice that.

I'm off to enjoy the wonders of San Diego.

With a little sleuthing, you can learn lots of neat things on myspace. But this time it seems to be good things. So I'll roll with it.

The sight.
The touch.
The taste.
Your skin.
Can't get it out of my mind.
If I could.
I wouldn't want to.

I looked upon it.
I felt inferior.
Too low to be in it's presence.

I kissed it.
As much of it as I could.
Tip of your finger to shoulder.
Edge of your chin to that spot behind your ear.
Every inch I could get to.

I almost stopped.
You felt so out of my league.

But I loved the feeling.
Wanted to stay that way.

It had to end eventually.

Sleep came for you.
I couldn't bring myself to take that away.

So I came home today at say 5:30 or so. Immediately crashed out. Woke up at about 7:30pm. For whatever reason, I believed it to be 7:30am the next morning. I then proceeded to get ready for work for a few mins before I realized something wasn't quite right. I feel like a dumbass. I just had to tell someone....

I forgot to mention that I recorded a new mix on a whim at lunch the other day. I'll warn you though about 20 mins into it the record skipped. I fixed it pretty quick though. Enjoy!

I'm not very good at this whole blogging thing. I go through periods where I keep you the unsuspecting world fairly up to date on my current goings on. Then there are other times where I will go a month or more without so much as a peep. My new gallery stays pretty up to date, but that's mostly just because it all happens automatically. If it required work from me, it would be just as sporadic. (although speaking of that, I do need to pull the pics from the last party off my camera... make mental note)

I guess I'm like most human beings I only speak up when I'm dissatisfied about something. So in my current situation (relatively happy in life) I just don't feel like saying much.

Maybe I'm just busy. That's always a possibility. Not to say that I don't have a few spare seconds in the day to post something here, just that I don't want to spend my few spare seconds doing such a thing. It's not really that I'm too busy. The problem is I'm too lazy. Entirely too lazy.

BTW, you have The Hot Librarian to thank for this post. I was reading her blog through my rss reader today and went over and regaled them with the tale of my exquisite halloween costume in a comment. That got me thinking that my own blog could use an entry.

I went out to Clarks Thursday night. I played a little. I personally thought it was the best I've played out. I feel like I'm getting much less nervous playing in front of crowds. Actually, it's never been crowds that made me nervous, it's other DJs. But I feel like I'm getting less nervous about it all the same.

The topic of my "DJ name" keeps coming up. I'm not really sure what to do about it. I've always kind of used Iggy as a nick name, but I would kind of like to change things up a little. I suppose it's something I'll have to put some thought into over the next few weeks.

In other news, work is going rather poorly. My test server lost both it's hard drives last Friday. I lost about 3 weeks worth of work. I've been having to work pretty much day and night to get caught up. And I'm only just now caught up on one part of it. There were 2 other major features that I had completed that are totally gone now. They will just have to wait. All that aside, I'm still getting pretty close. Hopefully they can start selling things this week.

That's pretty much the extent of things since my last drunken blog entry. Till next time......

I haven't seen you since Friday at about 1am. It feels like it's been an eternity. But now you are back to me. That is to say I just went and bought a bunch of Red Bull and a medium size bottle of vodka that I intend on finishing tonight. I may have to sleep in the bathtub, but it'll be alright. I've slept in worse places. Like the back of my car with the seats laid down. On the kitchen floor at my moms house. In the woods. Who knows where else I've slept when I was drunk or otherwise too out of it to notice or remember (think 10 hours of sleep in about 3 weeks during boot camp). What a great song to come on. Johnny Cash's version of NIN's Hurt. That song always brightens my mood. Well, lot's to drink and not much time. TTYL.

So..... I went and played again last night. We played early again, but then, we got to play again from 11-12. Prime time. That's when the club was the most packed. A half packed club (remember it was just a normal Thursday) all shaking their asses to records I was spinning. I'm hooked. There was so much energy in the air. I think I did pretty good, but I'll have to get second opinions. I got good reviews from spectators (read: non-DJs), but peer acceptance is just as important.

In any case, I had fun as usual. The rest of the evening after that was fun too.

I'm working on a new image gallery. Should be up on http://gallery.theiggy.com in a bit. It's taking a while to upload all the pics. I'll be tweaking it as I go along, so if it breaks momentarily, don't worry, it'll be back soon enough.

So, I went out last night, and played for the first time in public. I was nervous as hell. I swear I sweated out the last 2 weeks worth of water.

I had fun though, and I did relatively well. I messed up one little mix, but other than that, everyone said I did good. I, of course, don't trust any of them. I do however feel relatively good about how I played. I mean it could have been a lot worse.

We now return you to your regularly scheduled program, and I have to get back to work.

This has to be over soon. It has to be.

Just hanging out, having a few drinks, nothing special... Cheryl came over and borrowed a key to the laundry room. She is what we in the industry call beyond sexy. Of course I fail to make intelligent conversation. As usual. I suck.

I just picked up 2 Pioneer CDJ-800's. I know what you're thinking. "But Steve, he just got into DJ'ing and he's already giving up on vinyl" But it's just not true. In fact, I spent 50 something dollars on records the very next day. The CDJ's are just for some of those hard to find (especially in this hell hole) tracks. So you see, they aren't replacing anyone. They are a nice addition to the family.

Work project is almost to the point where I don't have to spend every waking moment working on it. That is until they start getting all the feedback off the site and want 23,815 changes made. Changes are good though. I can bill for those.

It's been a long time since I've updated.

I've been doing much better on the mixing. Actually most of my improvement has been in the past week for some strange reason. I even got a thumbs up from Ryan and Jonny the other night on one of my mixes.

One of my friends from high school killed himself. That's been pretty rough to deal with. It hits pretty close to home. Him being a friend wise, and going through my own little bout of feeling down for the past little while. Makes you wonder what the proverbial straw was. I know when I've felt bad in the past, when things start picking back up, it just takes the tiniest little set back to make you feel like you are back at the bottom or lower.

I often wonder what makes other people happy in life. I haven't really found anything. Music and computers are about the closest thing. They are really just a way to take my mind off things. Not really making me happier.

I've alienated most of my friends because I'm too lazy to drive up and see them anymore. It's strange how I used to make that drive everyday, and now I can't bring myself to do it every week.

There's a big show Thursday. I'm hoping to get a mix recorded, and maybe hand out a few copies at the show to some of the other local DJs. Why? I don't know, I'm pretty sure I could already play there if I wanted to. I guess I want feedback even though I don't generally handle criticism very well. I tend to take everything a little too personally. I also tend to get discouraged easily.

I need to get some more friends down here. Not that my friends up north aren't the best (they got me through a pretty rough time in life), but it's just hard when nobody wants to drive back and forth. It would just be nice to have people to hang out with down here other than Ryan. Maybe even some female friends to help me dress myself since I suck at it, and I'm too insecure to ask my metro friend for help.

blah, blah, blah... I'm done

one of the coolest experiences in this sad excuse for a life.

Everybody go to Clark's tonight. Ryan is playing with John Wall. They are opening for Danny Byrd. Big time I tell ya.

I recently bought a new cell phone that's a bit closer to a full computer than it is a cell phone or a PDA. It's got a QWERTY keyboard a nice screen, etc. In any case, I'm not entirely happy letting something run windows if it doesn't have to (add to that the fact that it ate my memory card one day and I lost everything on it). I've been hanging around some people that are working on getting linux to run on it. I'm trying to help out as much as possible, but it seems to be taking me a while to get up to speed due to lack of info. There is only 2 people really working on this that I know of. I've been picking their brains and I put up the info in the handhelds.org wiki for the world to enjoy. Hopefully as we start getting more interested people, they'll be able to get up to speed quicker.

I had all kinds of crazy dreams last night. One was recurring where my brother and I are playing in trees in a yard. My cats are there. He's asking me about blogs. I let him use my phone to make a blog entry while I play with the cats. I have no clue what that all means.

The other Dream was... damn it. I already forgot. Oh yeah, I found a place that still had some regular Diet Vanilla Coke. They only had one 12 pack. I bought it. I was so happy. I guess it's true what they say about the little things in life.

I had some sex dreams too, but I don't really feel like talking about that on here. I draw the line at posting almost completely naked pictures of myself. You know... gotta have boundaries.

Actually I lied. It was a kick ass day. I had a little lunch "date" with a gorgeous woman who is really cool, easy to get along with, not totally crazy, and we seem to have a lot in common. She even laughed at all my dumb jokes. I think I managed not to scare her off too bad. Might even be able to squeeze a second date out of this one. I'm overwhelmed with school girl giddyness.
Last night Ryan and I went to Buffalo Wild Wings. they were giving away commerative Super Bowl glasses. We decided we needed a few glasses around the apt. We ended up leaving with almost a dozen glasses. But we aren't alcoholics. No, not at all.

For some reason, I can't sleep. Tomorrow is going to suck. Went to Clark's tonight. It started off like any other Thursday night, but got cool pretty quick. We ran into some old friends. Talked some smack about certain douchebags. Ended up on the topic that seems to come up a lot lately when talking about shows. Those of you who need to know, already know what I'm referring to. It would be really nice to actually get that going. I wish I had the time to really push it myself. Unfortunately, I don't have that much free time lately. Need to get some stuff organized though. /me ponders.......

I've been working on a PHP class that makes it very easy (for me at least) to have an image upload/crop/resize/rotate widget in a page. It's coming along well. I should have a mostly complete implementation ready to go soon. I'm going to try to get my boss to release it under the (L)GPL. I'll probably be massaging it the whole time I'm working on this project. I'll be using it quite a bit for a few upcoming projects, so it'll hopefully be pretty stable code when I get done. It looks pretty spiffy right now though. It's all AJAX'ed out, so no annoying page refreshes, etc.

it's official. i'm the world's biggest nerd. well right behind Danny that is. I installed a blogger client on my phone to post entries from anywhere in the world at any time... well assuming I have a cell signal. I don't go places that don't.

I`m blogging from my new "phone". who needs women when you have a technical masterpiece like this in your hands. no more women for theiggy. you women are just going to have to take your whiles(sp?) elsewhere.

Get the fuck over it. If you don't like it, don't talk to me. Fire me. Ditch me as a friend. Whatever you have to do. I can't change. I don't care anymore. I've tried. I've given it my best effort. If only for one reason..... I swear I've tried. You can all just bite me. The whole world can bite me.

I am. Feel like I haven't accomplished anything in my life. I've got nothing to show for my time here except a trail of hurt and broken promises. I don't know myself. I don't know people. I'm incapable of conversing with people in a normal manner. In general I suck. I suppose I have another quarter of a century to make it right. Only time will tell if I do.

Everybody I know better be at Poison Girl tomorrow night and you better buy me a drink. If I have to buy my own drinks on my birthday, I'll go directly home and hang myself in my pathetic excuse for a shower. Just thought you should all know.

Just walked across the road to the record store (that in and of itself is worth celebrating... being able to walk to places like that). Picked up a few records. I especially like this one Roni Size record I got. I may be a little biased, you know since I've seen him live. Just kidding. Trying to sound like a music snob. Anyways... Not much else happening other than that. Just living. That's the best I can hope for right now.

Wednesday is my birthday. Bought myself a little early birthday present. Pics are up. Wednesday everyone is invited to Poison Girl downtown to come say happy birthday and buy me a drink. Especially that second one.

Big project at work
Need to shave
Need to finish laundry
Lots of stuff to do
Can't focus long enough to get anything done
Need something
Always need something
Don't know what it is
Won't ever know

They are getting huge. Pluto looks like he's probably up to about 165lbs. Zeus looks like he's about 175. Pluto has really filled out a lot. He used to be a lot skinnier.

It was kind of weird being in my old house. And it's always conflicting to be around Sara.

I got some pics of the dogs. I'll post them sometime soon.

Still need to import all my old site stuff. I'll get around to it eventually.

Been spending a lot of time over the past few days on work. It just seems easier to do certain things after hours. Of course that means I'm spending a fair amount of time at home working on stuff. Not a big deal... Just don't want to make a habit of it.

So I took the plunge and signed up for Suicide Girls. What can I say... I dig tattooed and pierced chicks. And there are so many there that are just gorgeous. I'll be spending lots of time on the internet for the next few days. Need to find my own suicide girl.

Forgot to mention... I was driving this morning (I know what you're thinking. I was totally sober, and I was only going 5 over the speed limit.) I hydroplaned or something and I lost control of my car, and almost died. Ended up in a ditch and almost flipped my car. Messed up the side skirt and rear lip on the passenger's side of the car. Got lucky. It's odd that I drive as bad as I do sometimes, and it's a time like this that bad things happen.

Had a good time last night. No kissing at midnight, but I did do 3 Bull Blasters. That more than makes up for it. I got Tre's little brother trashed. It was funny. Other than that, just your average party.

I've got a few ideas for new year's resolutions. We'll just have to see which ones I really want to try. Hope everybody else's new year is good.

I got my car back!!!!! You haven't seen TheIggy this happy in ages. You'd think I got laid last night or something. Nope. In fact all I did last night was sleep (for about 16 hours). But I got my car back. And that's all that matters right now. I'm too excited to even use correct punctuation and grammar on this post (which I'm usually very careful of). Must go drive. Bye.

It's called drivel. It's pretty nifty. Very easy to use. Not as many of the fancy touches (that don't seem to work anyways) of that other client I use at work, but I don't use that stuff very often anyways.

Maybe all these changes and making bloging easier will mean I will keep my site more up-to-date... probably not. I'm just not a big writer. THL is this other blog I've been perusing lately. That girl can write. Awesome. Add to that the fact that she's very sarcastic, cusses a lot, and seems to fairly open about stuff in general... My kind of woman. Need to find one like that.

I've got plenty of time. I keep trying to rush myself. My divorce just got finalized less than a month ago. I don't need to get married again anytime soon. I just need to enjoy myself. Learn more about myself as an individual, etc. Actually, I just need to stop looking all together. Just let something happen. It'll be less forced, more natural. It might actually have a chance of working. No rush Iggy. Just need to keep telling myself that. Everything will be okay. Unfortunately, a guy has needs.... I need to learn to balance everything. Anyways... I'm off to do stuff. Maybe I'll get my car back today. (HAAAA! Not a snowball's chance in hell.) Need to get ready for tonight. Still haven't decided where I'm going to go, but I'm going somewhere.

I'm paying for it today. I was a little late to work, and Alan was not happy. I've felt like poo all day. And I'm using words like poo. All around, bad times. But last night was fun, so not a complete loss.

Slept from about 4 to 9 tonight. Think I'm going to go sleep some more.

Pictures from my San Diego trip. I went to visit Andy and his sister.

This entry is from w.bloggar. It has a wysiwyg editor, which would make it easy to do all kinds of basic html effects.wblogger.

One of the reasons I chose drupal is that it also supports desktop based blogging tools like ecto or w.blogger. This will be my first post using such a tool. All my previous sites have used web based or console based entry. I might actually like this. This one is done with ecto which doesn't have any wysiwyg html editing. Next I try w.blogger which does have that stuff.

I switched (back) to Drupal for running my site's backend. I used it a long time ago, but wanted to mess around and see what I could write myself. I've gone through about 5 different home brewed backends and various other "massaged" things that I've downloaded. Figured I would give Drupal a shot again. Basically, I wanted to setup a gallery that my friends could upload stuff to as well as me, and I'm too lazy to write it myself right now.
