Leave me alone

Oh, damn, I’m not at a class.

Please, call me and ask my whereabouts.

Don’t bother checking absentee records; it’s not like they exist for a reason.

Why can’t people catch a cold via telephony?

I need to change my number.

Interesting.

Okay, so I finally got sick of using my own thing. Why? Pfft. It was unsupported, not-so-interoperable, and hacks and fun stuff didn’t work out-of-the-.tar.gz-archive for it. Well, okay. I’m lazy, that’s why. And WordPress is infinitely more fun to use, as well as being quicker, cooler, and nicer.

What’s not to like?

There are many things which are exactly the same about it, only done more intuitively, but there are also some completely new features. Like trackback/pingbacks. And post statuses (Draft or Private, anyone? I can work on a post, mark it as draft, and continue later. Or, if I don’t want the world to see a post, then I can mark it as private. Or just set a password on the post. Whatever!)

My only qualm is getting existing content to play nice with WordPress. At the minute, I don’t know if I will/can be bothered, but we shall see.

Miscellany

I can’t stop sneezing.

mod_rewrite and other things are being tested out for this website as I write this.

My left hand was attacked with a pair of scissors by a munted one this afternoon.  It bled for a while, then stopped.

My design hand is getting itchy fingers whenever I see this website.  Even if change doesn’t come soon, the thought is there.

I need to restructure the way content is handled around here, urgently.  This erratic, five-a-day posting isn’t good for things.  Stay tuned for more.

I am a geek.

I just turned to my printed modern essay which I’m editing from, and reached for the mouse to stop it from going onto a screensaver.

This is either a reflection on my procrastination, or the pervasive nature of technology upon users day to day lives.  Not the first time this has happened, of course, but my blog panel just happened to be sitting in the next window, so I flicked to it.

I need to kill my screensaver.

HSC drama – The real thing!

Wooo.  Happy to report that it went a thousand times better than the trials, so that was most excellent.  Nerves kicked in where they hadn’t been seen before (Sophie?! Nervous?! Apparently so…), but the performances were generally excellent (better than last year, so far as my memory serves) in all facets.

That’s been my last two and a half days at school, pretty much.  It was excellent, actually.  An event completely sans certain medling staff members!  My goodness!  Hehehe.  We still don’t have monitor audio in the booth, so we settled for physically removing the windows from the frame.  That middle one had some nasty glass shards flying from it as we tried to put it back in, but the other two were okay(-ish).  No, not joking ;)

Hmm.  What else did we do?  Oh, yes.  Who remembers the old clock that was on the wall in the auditorium?  Yeah… it came down a while ago, and had been sitting in the booth in the way, doing a whole lot of not much.

So we went in for some interior re-decoration!  There was this sturdy looking thumbtack, see.  And the walls were notably poorly plastered.  So it was time (haha) to make another hole to mount something of our own… observe:

Do you think it looks nice on there?  I think it looks nice on there.  We left it up at the end of today, at any rate, so other users of that space will be able to appreciate the passing of time with style!

In other news, I have a modern assessment to complete, so I’d best be going to patch that up.  Keep ticking…
