I think I updated yesterday’s diary entry six separate times. Some days are like that; there’s so much to talk about and I feel like I have to record it before I forget. I did manage to work on Calliope, adding a notification that’s sent between the Toolbox window and the Draft window when the user selects a widget to be added to the Draft window. Now I should start creating widget objects. A leaf that I drew […]

I’m sort of a do-it-yourselfer, particularly when it comes to software. If a program doesn’t do everything that I want it to, well, why not re-write it myself? As a result, I wrote the program that I use to analyze traffic on other-space.com. There are lots of apps that will do this automatically with as much style as Elle Macpherson, but I couldn’t find one that was easy to set up or use. […]

Whew! My site seems back to normal. That was kinda scary. I still don’t know what happened, but everything’s back. Every experience holds its lesson, though, and I’ve learned that I need to be more committed to regular backups. I’ll make sure to make a backup this week. I’ve also realized that I haven’t actually tested my backups. Sure, I have .tar.gz files of my website, but what would […]

As you can probably see, my website’s doing crazy things. I’ve contacted my sysadmin about it, but haven’t heard back from him yet. Rest assured that I’ll try to fix everything as soon as I know anything about the situation. I bought a copy of Neil Gaiman’s latest book American Gods today. I’ve only read the first couple of pages, but it’s great so far. And after a really frustrating […]

This is weird. Normally, I tire of ICQ conversations quickly. For the past few days, I’ve been wanting to chat with Saalon and Brennen, and they haven’t been on ICQ. :sigh: I do know that Saalon’s working on pre-production for his short film, leet, mainly because I just received the third draft of the script today. It’s improving nicely, too. Ideas for improvements are forming in the back of my mind, so I’m printing the script […]

It’s Friday the Thirteenth. Whoooo. Well, now I’m tired. After a long and unproductive day at work, I ran for 20 minutes at the gym before coming home, wolfing down two pieces of pizza, and mowing the back lawn. And now I have to clean my part of the house. You can imagine my enthusiasm. Very little happened today, except that I spent some down-time at work cleaning up UFO Dreams, my NieA_7 shrine. I still need […]

Heh. Yahoo! Weekly Picks featured a lovely site: A Netizen’s Guide to Flame Warriors. The illustrations elevate this particular guide into the realm of genius; you can even order an 8.5×11″ print for only USD $5. Tiny Yapper, Profundus Maximus, and Bliss Ninny are tempting me. Acne is good, too. Hey, there’s even an entry for Fanatic. Miscellaneous anime news: The official Cowboy Bebop website has posted […]

As you can see, I spent much of today redesigning my personal website. I vastly prefer the new layout. Its only disadvantage in this new scheme is the fact that I’ve had to disable the navigational column on this diary page. It just takes up too much space, or at least it does if I want to keep putting pretty pictures on this diary. That was about all I got accomplished. Most […]

Inu Yasha Some interesting anime news: Viz has acquired the rights to Inu Yasha, the latest series from Rumiko “Goddess of Manga” Takahashi (creator of Maison Ikkoku, Urusei Yatsura, and Ranma 1/2, and the wealthiest female in Japan). However, what’s interesting about this acquisition is that Viz plans to pursue a television broadcast of the series before they try to get it on DVD or VHS. This could be a new trend […]

Saalon: While I sat on the plane coming back from Boston, I realized that I didn’t bring the tripod for the camcorder. I’ll ship it to you soon. I stayed home from work today, taking care of whatever’s made me sick. Fortunately, my symptoms are waning, so I should be able to return to work tomorrow. Meanwhile, I didn’t watch any anime. Amazed? I am too. I did catch most of The Greatest Show on Earth […]
