BlackChampagne -- no longer new; improvement also in question.: Welcome to Technology



Monday, May 30, 2005  

Welcome to Technology


So, blogger.com software in use. I've long talked about (usually verbally with Malaya, but "talked" in the "blogged about it" sense as well) doing my site as an actual blog, like with updates that I type into some sort of automated thingie and publish immediately. I'd never gone through with it though, for a wide variety of stupid reasons, most of them sloth-related.

I've now done it though, and you're looking at it. For the next week (and possibly longer if all doesn't go well) I'll be in San Diego, staying at my dad's house while he undergoes some medical procedures. I didn't want to bother with setting up FTP and HTML writer and other things on his computer, or on Malaya's Mac laptop that I'll be taking with me to write fiction on, so this is the compromise. It's also a trial run, and if I like doing this instant gratification type thing I might keep doing it, though I would reformat the blog in some major way to intergrate it into my current site layout, nav bar, etc. That would probably require some software other than the default blogger.com stuff I'm using now, but we'll worry about that later.

There is no set posting schedule, but I'm going to be writing about the weekend I just spent at a friend's wedding in Chicago, and what I'm doing in San Diego, and all the usual news posts and bullshit I do, though I'm going to be busy in real life and trying to write, so hopefully there won't be that much surfing. I'm actually sort of annoyed that dad (finally) got DSL a month or two ago, since in the old days of his "tin can and string" AOL dialup, there was no temptation to surf at all. He'd ask if I wanted to use his computer to get on the Internet, and I'd feel like my grandmother was asking if I wanted to watch TV on her old 4" black and white Zenith. Not that my grandmother had a 4" black and white Zenith, but you get the idea.

I'll get to test something out though; does high speed internet rule so much that even the AOL browser can't ruin it? We shall see.

That's enough for now, and for now I'm leaving comments open, since I've never had them before. So comment if you so desire, or click to read what various German Internet gaming spam bots had to say.

No comment, other than that being able to submit some sort of commentary is a nice feature, mostly because it gets to where you can get it instantly, rather than going through the email ( I havent checked mine in. . . months? )


 

I like your normal site best.
