Utena is strange, but quite cool.

So I added my second review to Boston Brunch. I’m enjoying playing around with the site. It has definitely refined my web skills from a programming standpoint. There’s definitely something nice about seeing a project through to completion. Especially something like this. I personally think that small little sites like this are what makes the Internet so cool. I remember when I’d be browsing around and find that someone had just done something like this, I’d just be so impressed. A big part of it was because they were doing it for no reason other than “it would be neat”.

So I feel like an idiot.
I finally fixed the DNS information for my web box, and suddenly I wasn’t able to post any blogs. Took me forever to figure out that the old hostname wasn’t working!

I got my new B&W G3 last night. My friend Jeff was selling it since he’s going more portable these days. It’s quite sweet. Within about 3 hours of setting it up I had OS X installed. I’ve already got X, fink, screen, and tf installed. My next step is to set up fetchmail so that I can use this box as my own mail server. I think it should end up being pretty cool.

I still can’t believe how much of a mac person I’ve become. Jeff was saying last night that he was still stunned by it. But the jump really wasn’t that big, since OS X is still basicly unix on the inside.

So the site is up. I think I’m comfortable with people banging on it some.
To reach it, go here. You should be able to do everything except searching, though that will be working a bit later today.

Ugs.
I’m just up for a few minutes. I went out to a show at Club Passim last night and when I got home the power was off. I have to say this must have been the crappiest night for such a thing to happen. It was so humid. I kind of crawled into bed and slept quite uncomfortably. But, the light in my room just came on. So I’m up to turn on my a/c (gotta put that drain back on the electrical system as soon as I can). Of course, now that I can sleep I’ll probably end up oversleeping.

My new web project is getting closer and closer to opening up.
Did I say new? Well, new in the sense that it isn’t live yet and should be soon. I’ve actually been working on it for a few months. The site is called Boston Brunch. Over a year ago friends of mine and I were at sunday brunch and decided that we needed to find a way to find new brunch spots. So I opened up my big mouth and said, “We should have a web site!” Nothing really ever came of it at that time.
Fast forwrad to about two months ago. I rebuild my linux box and decided that this is as good a time as any to look into it and start coding it. I’m about 3/4s of the way done with it and hope to be able to show at least a tiny bit of it off soon.

CD Review: Global Underground 20 – Darren Emerson – Singapore (Disc1)
So I picked this up about a week ago and just got a chance to listen to it on the way home from the party on Saturday night. I’d gotten the last Darren Emerson Global Underground CD and thought it was okay, but it never really amazed me much. So far, disc 1 is quite enjoyable. There are one or two tracks that just don’t do much for me (specificly “Do you like the way you feel when you shake?” and “Thee Rush”). But some of the tracks just make me groove, like “Universal Personal” and “Boom!”. I also have a weak spot for this CD because it’s got the Thomas Heckman mix of “Join in the Chant”. I think I’d recommend this CD to folks, moreso then his last mix, but I found it a bit mediocre.

So I’m taking the plunge. On Thursday I’m buying my friend Jeff’s G3 Tower. It’s a pretty nice machine. I’m planning on using it for a server for home (running OS X). It’ll be a nice way to learn more about a bunch of unix things I’ve put off learning about.

I see a sleepless night ahead of me.

Site update.

Just last night I added a new section to my site that I’d been meaning to for a bit. A links page. I’ll be updating this, along with my friends page, slowly but surely. So be sure to check it out now and then to see what’s new.
