In an effort to find something to focus my efforts on, I decided to revisit the Python Challenge. I was able to make it through three of the challenges yesterday, bringing me up to Level 12. In solving those 3 levels, I was reminded of why I gave up in the first place. There’s one [...]
I’ve been feeling direction-less lately. I feel like I’m wasting every day. Yesterday I picked up three different books, started them, and then put them back down. I subscribe to 10 different computer-related mailing lists. I read them, but never contribute. My attention span is about as long as a gnat’s. I need to think [...]
I don’t get that bonus check until March, but I just couldn’t wait. I went to CompUSA last Saturday afternoon and bought a Nokia 770. I wrote a pretty decent review here. Since writing that review, I’ve gotten it to pair with my RAZR so I can get on the ‘net when I’m on the [...]

This is my 4th or 5th [depending on how you count] blogging software experiment. LiveJournal Using iBlog to host on my .Mac account Pybloxsom [which I never really got to work] Blogger LiveJournal was ok, but it’s really quite limited. Customisation is basic and there’s little you can do in the way of organisation. Plus [...]
