  • Website Geekery Update

    Just a few tidbits, really.

    • Even though I’ve been capable of syndication for months now, it never occurred to me to put the link up. Whoops. Off to the right you can now see the regular RSS 0.91 feed link as well as the Radio/Amphetadesk/etc clickable “add me” XML link. Syndicate away, kiddies.
    • Amphetadesk rocks. I can get a summary view of half my daily journal/blog/thingie reads with no effort at all. If you haven’t tried it, and you read more than a half-dozen syndication-friendly websites a day, you owe it to yourself to give it a try.
    • Disgusted with the design-rot prevalent in my ancillary pages, I finally did the smart thing and went to a header/footer/content includes structure. Now the main journal, the bio, the geegaws, the downloads and the two surveys all share all design elements. Changes made to the header and footer reflect across the site. Or, they will once I get bored enough to make the change to all of the TMTT and NaNoWriMo pages…
  • BlogShares goes live

    Huzzah! Now that it’s May, I can buy shares again!

    Confused? Just take a look at what this website is worth.

    Now I just need to figure out how we can drive up the value of Mari’s thingie so I can buy shares in it…

  • Ins and Outs at the Kerezman Abode

    All kinds of folk are dropping by our place lately. Just yesterday, my “long-lost” cousin Angela brought her husband and one of her children to visit with Wendi for a while. I’m told everyone had a nice time, and Angie wants my help writing a book about her early life. Too bad I don’t remember much from those days…

    Last night Geoffrey came over for a couple hours’ worth of gamer-geek fun, starring aliens and predators. I will say this: The Marines in AvP2 get some really nifty hardware. The Aliens hide very, very well. The Predators… well, I haven’t tried them very much yet. I’ll find out and get back to you, if you’re really curious.

    Tonight, Mari’s due over for a couple hours of Cowboy Bebop so she knows what’s going on before seeing the movie. She’ll meet Spike, Jet, Ein and Faye, but sadly not Edward. Such is life. She’ll at least be ready for the movie on Sunday.

    I think I like being host to friends and family. Yeah. So who wants to come over next?
