Almost been a week. Well, I started working on my innovative redesign, and relized that I can't do what I wanted to do without learning a hell of a lot about frames. (right now I can spell frames) So that's been put off for a while. Not too long ago I made a couple of adjustments to make this page more viewable at 800x600, but they were minor and no one would have noticed if I hadn't opened my mouth.

Today was surprisingly productive at work. I didn't do much technical work, but I managed to dump a coffee all over my desk, which, if you're wondering, is a great excuse to do a major clean up of your office. The only loose paper on my desk is directly related to things that have to be looked at in the very near future, and my filing cabinet now has file folders. And an empty drawer! How'd I manage to get a whole empty drawer?

I've decided that I'm not building computers in my free time anymore. Too often the people I build them for break them (virii, installing software they don't know how to use, kick it too hard) and call me to fix them. I'm just not enjoying it. And the place I've tended to buy the hardware from is starting to jerk me around. Yeah, that's how you, a small computer shop, should treat someone giving you at least $500 a month for the last year in business. If anyone in K-W area is reading this, email me and I'll tell you what little shitbox of a computer store run by an asshole to avoid. (Yes, I'm a little pissed.)

So the long weekend's just about over. Melissa and I had an enjoyable time with different groups of friends on each night, but sleeping in a cattle field on sunday night has hurt us both. We're both creaking like old, rusty screen doors. I'm tired, but I have more I want to do. Bah.

Cris's to do list for fdtp, as of posting time:
Must update links
Must do redesign
Set up page for 800x600 when playing with redesign

Archives came back when I published the front page. Hmm... Oh well, I'm not going to worry about it. 5 hours to the long weekend, 4 hours, 25 minutes loaded into WinAmp. I'm almost set. I just don't know what I'm doing for the long weekend.

Alright, yes, it was my fault. I changed the link, but not the text. I never did see if .ca worked or not, but I don't really care anyway. I've lost my archives again, so I'm gonna republish everything and hope. Yay, long weekend in 5 hours.

The email address should be cwaurechen@yahoo.com. I forgot to change it from .ca. .ca may work though, I'm not sure. I did change the template, but it appeared to have no effect. Hmm... I did push Save Changes, didn't I?

Yay! Archives are back, Blogger works, and I vow to update more regularly. Ev is my hero!

I get the impression that I'm really good at pissing people off. I'd like to point out that I don't do this on purpose. Well, if I were doing it on purpose, it'd be obvious. And when I do try to piss people off on purpose, it generally doesen't work and results in me giving up shortly after I started. I hereby apologize for unintentionally, unnecessarily annoying people.

Hmm... Error 210 Owner ID: 19nnnn BlogID: 299nnnn. Crap.

Didn't work. (Editing an old blog, as suggested in the Blogger Troubleshooting thread) I guess I'll post the problem to the indicated thread, although a bunch of others have too... For the record, Blogger's a great service, and since it's free, I don't expect Ev to fix this instantaneously. Keep up the good work Ev.

Damn. Now I'm getting "Error 104:java.lang.NullPointerException"

I wonder if I can post this?

Uh, hello? Hmm.. my last post has remained on the edit your blog page, but not appeared on the site... I suppose this is a test...

It's a conspiracy. And Rob's behind it. 1142 has sucked all the life out of me over the past week. I've finally caught up, so chances are good that by the time I publish this I'll have another 100 posts to read. I'll never get the redesign done at this rate. I'm off to find some meat fit for consumption.

I feel like there's no one out there tonight. Like I'm reading posts from a void from where no one has returned. If anyone ever does read this, a friend of mine has set up 1142.org and you should have a look-see at it. It came from metafilter and has taken on a life all its own.

I've really got to stop posting in spurts like this and get into a routine where I post semi-regularly. The redesign is still safely tucked away in my head.

This post was edited to see if it solves the Error 104 I've been getting. This was the last post that worked, and for historical purposes, I've only edited this line.

Work's gonna be hell tomorrow. 7:30 am till something like 1:00 am. And I've really got a bad feeling in the pit of my stomach about the next two days. That's 17.5 hours, isn't it? I want to cry. Or throw up, either would do.

Even better, sirc_w returns Quiet Conqueror. If I didn't piss around with things like this, this site would get it's makeover. Nope, that thinly-veiled attempt at self motivation did absolutely nothing. Sigh.

I shot "Further down the pipe" at Darksite's Darkname generator, and got Crazy Wizard. Wait till I tell Josh. Cris Waurechen returns Visual Wanderer, my wife's name returns Profound Enchanter. Hmm.. I could throw names at this thing for a week. Bill Gates returns Fanatical Mastermind. Fitting.

I've given up the quest for a handheld. I've totally wiped the Palm III and upgraded to the latest (the latest free one anyway) ROM revision, and it's been as stable as ever for the last 2 weeks. I'm also working on a redesign, but I've got way too much going on in the real world to dedicate enough time to it right now.
