This is really sad. I don’t remember exactly when it was that I installed Wordpress 2 (which is when Askimet was added to Wordpress), but that’s a lot of junk it’s caught. Go Askimet!

Two posts in one day, wow! This is worth it, I assure you. I added a link to someone’s blog today. His name is Kevin and he is a homeless man who currently is in Nashville, TN. I’ve becomes quite the avid reader of this guy’s blog. Despite all the connotations of being homeless, he’s very intelligent and he has some great perspectives on homelessness.

Now you might be asking yourself, how the hell can a homeless man have a blog. Well, he was given a laptop by a local computer store and he uses wi-fi mostly from local coffee shops to get on the Internet. He also has a digital camera that was given to him and he sometimes posts videos. Amazing! The cool thing is, even if he didn’t have his own laptop and camera (which I’m sure could get him mugged real quick if they’re ever discovered by the wrong people), he could be doing this from some kind of public terminal like a library. He doesn’t need hosting as he just uses Blogger.

You might have wondered why I haven’t been posting reviews here. Well the truth is, I rarely write them. My role at Decoy has shifted to more coding and support rather than content writing, but I still find time to write once in awhile. I’ve gone ahead and added reviews for Sworn Enemy, Bullet For My Valentine, and If Hope Dies.

I’ve also been working on my new design some more. At this point I’m wondering if I’ll ever get this site relaunched, but I’m hoping I will be able to soon. I fixed a few CSS snags I was running into over the weekend and eventually I’ll get it up and running.

I finally got around to updating to Wordpress 2.0. I have to say the new interface is pretty damn slick. Lots of improvements. I’m glad there were no headaches from upgrading. Now to install the Tiger Admin Interface!

Update: I spoke too soon. My artwork and about me page is throwing errors (Grrrr!). I’m working on it now so it should be fixed soon.

Second update: Fixed and running smoothly now.

Well, if you haven’t noticed. I’ve been down for quite some time. To make a long story short, I’m no longer self-hosting. That’s right I bought a host, so no more downtime.

Lately, I’ve had the chance to attend two weddings. Andy and Amanda are now offically hitched and my college friend Nick just go married to his girl Nicole. Craziness! I feel like I’m getting behind. I haven’t had a serious girlfriend for years and right now I don’t really care if I get married anytime soon. Seems like when I was young this was always right about the time people got married and started a family. I still come home from work every day and think about what video games I’m going to play or where I’m partying that night. I can’t imagine having a wife let a lone a kid. So my friends, I beg you, quit getting married. You’re making me feel old damn it!

Well, as promised, my site is back in action. I actually didn’t have that hard of a time figuring out how to fix things. Just a few changes and it worked out ok. Now the trouble is my new site. I don’t know if I’ve posted the link directly, but it’s located here. Check it out. Make comments here. Thanks!
