Well, I had a great night last night at the leadership meeting for church. It was so great that I felt good all night, and woke up feeling better then I have felt for a long time. I walked to class feeling super high on life, and I was still feeling good all through class. [...]

A day in the life…..

The alarm goes off. I slowly notice that there is some odd music in my dream suddenly….this realization slowly pulls me awake. Open eyes, my right eye hurts…..why does my right eye hurt. Clock says 7:46. Why on God’s green earth am I waking up this early on a Saturday? My eye hurts. Is it [...]

I’m home, work is boring….I’m looking forward to watching the next DVD of escaflowne Friday night….and grilling….which I’m going to make a regular thing I think, except maybe the two weeks I’ll be gone for my Canada trip with my Dad. Other then that…we have a roommate to make the grand total 6 people living [...]

Going to Indiana

No comments

Going to a family reunion later today, that should be cool. It’s at some lodge or something like that in a state park in southern Indiana, so that could be cool. See you all when I get back.

Cool nights in July

3 comments

It’s not often that a cool night comes along in July when you live in Illinois. Tonight was just such a night. I have to say that I really love to walk at night. I love walking around town after the sun has set and the temperature is starting to come down. I absolutely love [...]

Scripting upgrades complete

No comments

There is now the ability to “reply to” different comments…so it looks like the LJ comments posting system. So if anyone had some problems posting comments, it is now fixed….I should actually detail how to install the MTThreadedComments plugin with sqlite for the database system used to control MovableType. The only reason I will write [...]

Testing a Plugin

I’m testing a nested comments plugin, so you can mostly ignore this, and the replies which are going to be “does this work” type of stuff.

Expectations

1 comment

Have you ever noticed that a large part of our perceptions of things is based what we expect. For example, if you would have gone into X-men 2 expecting to be like the exact embodiment of “God Loves, Man Kills” projected on the screen you would have been disappointed. (For you non-comic book people that [...]

Number 2, since I updated the site, it changed some stuff around and LJ was like all “Look….NEW STUFF!!!!!,…must add more [...]

I am AWESOME

No comments

So I have switched blogs now…so if you use the links from the last post they are now reversed….my old blog is in my /blog folder, and this new stuff is in the root directory. Now I need you LJ users to let me know how the RSS is working, so I can tweak it [...]

Last Post using greymatter

No comments

All the importing of old Greymatter files into Movable Type is complete, so it is about time to kick this into gear. Also I have a default Style set up for Movable Type, and it isn’t exactly the layout I have now on the site, but I think shortly I’m going to “go live” by [...]
