Drifting along…
Oct 12 Tue (05 PM)
Well the PC now has over 400 MP3 tracks in it. Lots of different stuff. I’m concentrating on getting Eric’s discs ripped since he’s leaving at the end of the month. I figured I ought to get his stuff then later I can focus on getting more of my collection in here at work. The Depeche Mode and Nick Cave selections are pretty thin. Mostly unreleased live material that’s _only_ found on the net.
I’m drifting a bit right now, and that’s okay. I don’t have any major projects bearing down on me, just lots of little things scattered around to do, but none of them big enough to document. Just little loose ends. They annoy me to no end.
Amy and I are contemplating getting one of the 11 game packages for the Blazers. It’s a bit steep, but I think it would make a great birthday present for her. She and the whole of greater Portland seem really buzzed about the Blazers this year. Seems like this is the best season to get these kind of tickets.
In the next couple of days the full version of the web site/flash site that I’ve been working on should go live. I’ll be sure to post the URL once it does. I’m not taking any credit for the design or structure of the site, as most of it was developed by another (now defunct) web design shop. It’s amazing how many mistakes they made both in copy and in design and architecture.
Don’t get me wrong, there’s still a lot of work to do, but with any luck the next revision will clean up the site even further.
For the rest of the week it looks like I’ll be working on internal projects, most of which will not see the light of day for months. 🙁 Ugg. I hate that. I like being able to point to my work and get feedback from the visitors. I guess I’m just an exhibitionist. 🙂
Newtvana has been very helpful to me. Stuff to remember, music and books to buy, and movies to rent have all been added and maintained. Nothing seems to get lost. One surprising aspect: even thought I’ve been using pretty heavily, I’m still only 57% through my first set of batteries. At this rate, I should go through them at abut a set per month. Not bad.
