Back Up!
October 23rd 2006
I’m finally back up! I found new hosting immediately, but delayed restoring the backups for personal reasons. The break was nice; just one less thing to think about for a few weeks. I lost all ranking on Google, and probably many transient readers, but those aren’t things to care about much. It is, after all, only the internet.
Goings-on over the past three weeks, list style:
- Cal beat Oregon State, Oregon, Washington State, and Washington in four straight games. We’re now 7-1 and ranked 12th in the nation. Go Bears!
- My dad shipped me his Olympus E-500 to use for a while since mine was stolen. It should keep the pictures flowing. Thanks dad!
- I flew to Massachusetts for my grandfather’s funeral (he was 96 years old!). It was a fun family reunion of sorts and the fall colors were beautiful. I’ve got to get out there more, I quite like the east coast. Pictures of that will be up soon for those waiting.
- I’ve decided to apply to grad school at Berkeley, in the Computer Science HCI department! I’m taking the GRE in two weeks and I’ll go from there… wish me luck!
That’s about all I can think of right now. It’s been busy overall, just one thing after another with work and band and family and all. Just feels like every week there’s more and more, and nothing ever stops and everything’s always changing, and at the end of every day I just wish we could take a two week vacation in Hawaii. I guess that’s life eh?
Welcome back to the web, Tristan.
Delighted to be your first commenter.
I was just over at Joen Asmussen’s http://www.noscope.com looking at his lovely implementation of ZenPhoto and wishing that I could get mine working in WordPress.:)
Ah well. (sigh)
Hawaii is really lovely if you can possibly make all the tourists go away. (getting out of the car and walk
Thanks for the comment! (though I almost deleted it with all the spam—amazing, I thought they would have lost me by now)
Yes, Hawaii is touristy, but I’ve been to places where it’s not so bad (the big island is nice) and besides, right now touristy would be perfect!
A hint for zenphoto: don’t try to integrate it inside of wordpress or anything like that. Just use the WP code and styles to make a ZP theme!
Thanks for that tip Tristan!
I’ll have a look in the ZP forums for guidelines. I’m a noob to code wrangling, the sort who likes to talk on the phone rather than re-wire the exchange.
