jumping on the big fat nerd wagon
So, uhm, I’ve changed this weblog around a little bit.
-
This weblog uses Moveable Type now, thus emulating every single
weblogger ever and jumping on a the big fat nerd bandwagon. It also features a mini-blog, which is a way to
post technical links and stuff that people have forwarded to me but
I hadn’t been able to think of anything witty to say to it. -
There is also a way to change the skin of LYD, if you don’t like
how the website looks. If you notice carefully, you’ll notice that I now
use a background pattern from squidfingers for
the “Goodbye, Dignity” screen. Everyone seems to be using background patterns lately —
remember when everyones weblogs were all minimalist and white and boring and shit, and
web designers were all, “oooh! We’re so zen! Minimalism is the wave of the future!”Then the stock market crashed, people went to war and no one gave a fuck anymore. The End.

Archives from the Blogger days are not online yet, mostly because there would be
broken image and link locations.
Patience, grasshopper. -
I have gotten rid of that cartoon character (Dexternie) that
I’ve had at the top of the weblog for the past 2.5 years. Before
people start yelling and screaming bloody murder, I have this to
say: Move on.I knew it was time to remove the cartoon character when someone
recognized my weblog at a party, came
up to me in person and said, “OHMYGOD, YOU LOOK JUST LIKE THE
CHARACTER ON YOUR WEBSITE!”Now, let’s think about this. Dexternie is a
caricature of myself. They didn’t say the cartoon guy looks at me, but
the other way around. So, people are saying that I look like
something that is supposed to look like me, like a wacky animated
chartoon character writing about his bizarre life and I was just a bad
flesh-and-blood knock-off poser. Be like your cartoon! Dance, monkey, dance! -
Believe you me, I will be adding and changing more and more things
to this website over the next couple of days, so bear with me.
Comments and suggestions appreciated.
