Inaugural?

Posted by Jayml on May 31, 2009 at 6:43 pm | Filled Under: Blog, New England| 4 comments

So, after much painful experimentation with PHP and CSS involving copious amounts of trial and error, I think I can officially call the new version of my site (www.rah-kun.net) “live.” It’s got a bunch of nifty things – an automated livejournal cross-poster that directs all-y’alls to my site to comment and stuff. There are also [...]

Travl Jurnl #I already forgot: Wherein my brain steps on its own tail.

Man, either I’m paying off something bad I did a while back, or I’m paying off some karmic principle to improve my extended-metaphor credit score. My internet at home is out – something funny is happening in the wiring in my house (which my Dad denies, but… with breakers flipping left and right…)
So. Without internet, [...]

Extension has been one of the shittier things I’ve had to endure.

Just to be candid here… I’m prone to pretty hardcore bouts of depression. I’ve been in a malaise recently, so I haven’t been able to draw much in the past week or two. My usual approach is to take a deep breath and try to set it aside in order to get on with business [...]
