OK, so I need to update other-space.com to point it to my new provider,

Waiting for my parents to get here, so we can go to lunch. Meanwhile, the company is having a spontaneous picnic for lunch today. Poor timing. Not much else going on. Saalon got himself an apartment in Boston, which will be good. other-space.com still hasn’t propagated to the servers here at work, at least. Maybe it’ll take a few more days, or something, but I would have expected it to be done […]

Well, I’m up live over here at WebMages. I’m very pleased thus far. Now, I just have to wait for the DNS information to fully propagate across the internet. As a result, the message board on UFO Dreams (my NieA Under 7 website) is back online. I’ll post all of the messages that were sent during its downtime in a day or two, hopefully (they were e-mailed to me, but never actually posted). […]

I’ve set up this new diary system, which is more automated than my past diary. With this system, it will be much easier to search through the archives, and I’ll be able to merge this diary with other diaries, should I want to. Every year, I and my parents try to get up to Skyline Drive, a park in the Blue Ridge Mountains. Today is our day, and we drove […]

We had a date for a free candlelight tour of the Robert E. Lee Mansion tonight. Wow. The house is a majestic neo-classical house that sits in the middle of Arlington National Cemetery. Driving through a massive cemetery, at night, on Friday the Thirteenth, with a full moon out, staring out the window as row after row after row of fallen soldiers zip by next to you, is an experience I will not soon forget. The mansion sits […]

Both Saalon and Brennen are officially on-board my Wine To Those In Anguish project. Woohoo! Now I have to actually write the script…. I’ve decided to buy a digital camcorder, partly for my own use, and partly for Daemonsong Productions. I was going to go with the Canon GL-1, only to discover that BeOS doesn’t recognize it. Fortunately, Sony offers the DCR-TRV900, a nice little camcorder with all sorts of features. It’s expensive, but it […]

Not much to report today. Worked a bit on my About.com site and my anime project, Wine To Those In Anguish, last night. I should put together some sort of gaming room on my personal website here; I’ve already got Mancala, Hangman, and Blackjack. Ooooh, I just realize that I never got a chance to talk about those anime DVD’s that I got last week. As I was sick and lay abed, I watched pretty much everything […]

Well. I’m not in Europe. Of all things, I came down with a really nasty cold on Tuesday. We got together and discussed our options, then decided to postpone our trip to Europe until early spring. Fortunately, neither the airline nor the hotels imposed penalties for backing out. It looks like we’ll be making our trip in the last week of March and the first week of April, 2001. Meanwhile, I’ve been […]

In keeping with my creation of Hangman the other day, this morning I spent two hours and wrote up a complete simulator of the ancient African board game Mancala. It even has a computer opponent (whose strategy is summed up by the phrase “choose a random move,” though that can be challenging in-and-of itself). If you’re not familiar with Mancala, you can check out my handy-dandy rules page.

Ahhhh, my favorite month of the year. October. When the air is crisp, the apples are tart, and the leaves are the color of gold and fire. Also, it’s the time of the month when my main diary page is mercifully short, because I’ve moved all of last month’s entries to the archives. We didn’t go to church this morning, electing to stay home and go over plans for our Europe trip, which begins with an Air […]
