My friend Bree says: “Teddy Rocks!”
We just got in from seeing Teddy Goldstein. As usual he was quite enjoyable. He played some of my favorite tunes of his, specificly “Will you be my Widow”, “Lucky in Love”, and “Peobody”. (I’m guessing at the names of the songs, since I don’t know them exactly). It was interesting seeing him someplace different then Passim, especially since it was someplace where I could drink some. I’m not sure which I like better. Each place has its own special feel to it.

HELP. BORED.

Today’s LOTD:
/usr/bin/girl – I found this site (and the related ones) while looking at other people’s blogs yesterday. As I looked around I started to feel more and more like my web site sucked. This site was one of the ones that really inspired me the most, so it deserves to be today’s Link of The Day.

On another (more serious) note. Impending transplant things are getting to me a little bit. As I deal with all of this more and more I start to admit to myself more and more that my life is probably going to change a lot once I get my new lung. Though I don’t know for sure, my guess is that my clubbing days will be basicly over. The issue is that when you get an organ transplant you have to take lots of drugs to basicly mask the foreign object (the organ) from your body. These drugs do this by reducing the effectiveness of your immune system. So the trick at that point is watching your health, being aware of when you might be getting sick, being very aware of your health. The thing is, going out into a room full of sweaty people is just the perfect way to catch something. The part of it I am having a hard time thinking about is the DJing aspect of it. While I want and need this transplant, the thought of not being able to spin out again is very painful to me. I just hope that I’ll be able to do it once in a while.

So I’ve been reviewing my site lately and have decided a few things:
(1) I need to do a redesign, I’m just not sure what I want to do. (In other words, that won’t happen for a year).

(2) My DVD list is severely out of date. There are gobs of anime DVDs that I don’t have listed.

(3) I really need to finish up my brunch site.

(4) There is no four.

(5) I’m actually decent at this PHP stuff.

(6) OS X is lacking just a bit when it comes to a web browser. While OmniWeb for OS X is quite cool, it’s still a bit lacking in the javascript area (For instance, blogger doesn’t get along real well with it). There’s IE, but I don’t like it as much and I find myself missing the features that OmniWeb does have (the ad blocking stuff built into it rules).

(7) I forgot to take my protonix last night and woke up this morning with evil heartburn.

Well I certainly feel like a geek tonight.

After browsing around looking at a few different blogs today I noticed a lot of them have a space for comments. I was intrigued and started trying to figure out how to do it. I even emailed this one person who was doing some even more interesting things for comments. In the end I decided to just sit down and work something out. I’d say that for inspiration, the individual at http://www.stormwerks.com/linked/ had a site that provided the most inspiration. Based off the stuff there I started doing some PHP coding to see what I could come up with. I have to say I’m quite happy with what I came up with. Blogger actually works quite well when it comes to working this stuff out.

So, definitely let me know what you think. I’ll be curious to see if anything shows up in the comments at all.

Time for sleep now.

New feature (I think) for my site. The LOTD (Link of the day).
Today. Hello Kitty Tetris
(I think that’s all that need be said (except for crediting the cool blog that I found it at.)

Okay,
So a couple of quick changes to the page. First, I fixed the launchcast link, since it was a little bit broken. I’m also playing around with the template for the page a little bit. Look for some small changes to it as I work through how I want things to look exactly.

Well, my blog from yesterday WOULD have worked if I had put in the right password for my ftp account.

So I figure I’ll do some updating today. I just started listening to a CD that I got the other day “San Francisco Sessions, Vol. 3”, it’s a mix CD by Garth from SF and it is really good. It’s got that nice west coast SF house sound. I keep thinking I’d like to spin more of this stuff, but it would be quite a change for me. For now i’m just working on learning more about this style of house.

I’ve tried to shop online for records for the past three days and just have not been finding anything that I like. It is really frustrating me. I’m not sure if there’s just nothing good coming out or if I’m just in one of those down times where nothing I listen to sounds right. I think I may need to go into the record store and just listen to things there for a bit. A lot of times that’ll get me into a different mood musicwise.

I’ve started looking around more at other people’s blogs to see what they are up to. I think I may have to start trying to do some more things with mine. Whatcha think?

First off. I’m trying this little BlogThis! button that was on my menubar. I’m not quite sure when I put it there, but this will be a nice test of it.

So it’s the 4th of July. And I haven’t done much of anything all day. I cleaned for a bit, and am doing a little bit of laundry, but I just haven’t felt that social so I haven’t made a huge effort to track down something to do tonight.

I’ve also been coughing more then usual. I think it has to do with my prednisone dose going down. My pulmonologist feels that we shouldn’t raise the dose though, since I’ve actually been losing weight since I dropped my dose. He did give me some cough syrup with codine, which definitely helps a bit.

I’ve been watching Monty Python’s Flying Circus for the last two hours on BBC America. This is quickly becoming one of my favorite channels. There are some great shows on it.

My employees rock.

Since the beginning of the year I’ve been moving more into the role of IT manager at work. I have about 5 people that report to me and am slowly learning how all this kind of stuff works. Today was a cool day for me because we had a problem with our firewall at work and Jim, the on call person, took care of everything with the help of our resident firewall expert (Lenny). It’s just a nice feeling that I can relax some while not on call.
