For the next while I'm going to be experimenting with a new system for maintaining my online journal. Please head to this address until further notice:

Thanks.

I lied, the new nautilus, while fast, is a crashy POS. Oh well, glad I don't use it much (at all). Let's just say it's... "fragile" right now :) Probably the reason that the gnome-terminal background wasn't working earlier.

Went out to the gym to follow a new program I'm trying, it was a good one, my arms are killing me, always the sign that you did something right.

Upgraded my Gentoo system to GNOME 2.1. Looks good too, I'll post a screenshot soon. The fonts look awsome, and the speed improvements in Nautilus make it almost usable. The only strangeness is that the terminal app's setting for transparent background doesn't seem to work (it did once, but not since), and when one alt-tabs the box that appears on the screen to show the apps you are going through seems to randomly place itself.

Went to Community Futures today to drop off some papers and talked to one of the folks there about my business plan and cash flow. Had the joy of finding out that when I was told (by another person there) "oh yea, it's fine," was full of crap, and there are all sorts of (minor) changes to be made. Oh well, such is life.

More later, Rex has decided that the desire to knead my arm is too strong to deny, and typing while there are large cat claws digging into my left arm and hand.

See you on the flip-side.
