posting will be somewhat sparse over the next . . um, however long this takes. it'll be while i'm rewriting edit thingie, for no discernable reason other than "it seemed like a good idea at the time". shouldn't be too long.

i've got it mostly planned, just have to do the actual coding. a lot of it is going to be expanding on and cannibalizing from my previous work with php and mysql. there's only *one* thing i haven't completely worked out yet. and that one thing shouldn't be too impossibly difficult, it's just something i haven't done much of.

it'll probably come with a redesign, too. goal for the site redesign: completely own seamless bottom-edge floating. i swear i'm going to pull it off this time. and it will be elegant. [11.07.03@02:14]

is it live? i . . think it is. yes. it seems to be functioning now. and i've migrated all now-useless bits to a large friendly 'old' directory locally. only one thing is really left, and that's the article section of the archives, but that's just a few minutes of coding. i just can't be bothered to do it right now, because i'd rather watch tv. next project: sixteen.

hm, ok. so it looks like i've got the article section, AND i've got ordering to fix. for some reason, it's refusing to do anything with my $order variable. i'll beat it into submission tomorrow. [11.11.03@20:14]

there's just something . . . . right . . about being able to fire up dscaler at 04:21, and be greeted with the end of FLCL episode 5, one of my favourite action sequences in any anime ever.

anyways, i appear to be going through post-completion-depression. it's a bit too common, really. you finish something huge, get this nice satisfying rush, and then suddenly realize that you didn't think it through to "well, what do i do when i'm done?" so right now i'm exiled to this awful awful state of boredom. i expected to be occupying my time right now with fire emblem, or with contract jack, or with civ3 conquests, or SOMETHING. . . unfortunately, that's all fallen through. fire emblem has gotten far too difficult, contract jack breaks about 20 seconds into the game, and civ3 conquests for some reason doesn't have the same grip on me as it did before.

so i'm stuck here until tuesday with effectively nothing to do but mope around and watch anime. can't even screw with linux, because i've decided that i will not be messing with linux again until the 2.6 kernel goes final. at least i've got vague plans for the weekend, what with people coming down from el gville and wasting time like last week.

apart from that, i can only hope a leak will occur, and something will slip through the cracks prior to the 18th, so i'll have something to keep me from losing it and being far too productive in a short amount of time. hell, wednesday i went crazy and decided it was time to move shit around in my room. now i have more space than i know what to do with. if i don't find something soon, i'm going to end up redesigning /inpheaux, logging a ridiculous amount of time redesigning a client's page, watching all of my currently-unwatched anime, or generally do some other insanely timeconsuming thing for no discernable reason. i just can't stop myself.

i think it's worst right now because i just finished a few major projects, and i know it's going to be just a few short days until i have all kinds of shit available to me. and it just irks me SO MUCH that i have this tiny little set amount of absolutely fuck-all to do, inbetween to enormous mounds of activity. i mean, look at me, i can't even just sleep. oh no, i'm here at 04:38 whining about being bored, and wanting something to do that isn't TOO productive, but time consuming. like a videogame. or three.

i think i'll just sleep. now is sleep. tomorrow is work. saturday is do-school-stuff, sunday is study-for-monday, monday is school and work. and tuesday is glorious glorious tuesday. sounds like a plan. [11.14.03@03:40]

oh gamestop, why must you torment me? you know you have copies of mario kart, i know you have copies of mario kart, why won't you let me give you my moneys? do you not want my moneys? is waiting 24 hrs really that important to you? come on, nintendo won't notice. it'll be cool. and i bet you could sliiiide in a copy of the new zelda disc too, and i'd forget aaaaaaall about being mad at you.

go on, it'll be cool. i swear. [11.17.03@13:48]

i had a horrible dream a few minutes ago. i was sitting here in my bed, using my computer. i attempted to use my wonderful logitech mx700 mouse, and it snagged. i looked down, and to my horror . . .

IT HAD A CORD

it's going to take months for me to get over this. i hope it's not a recurring dream. [11.20.03@13:23]

woo! go team insomnia! second time this week! [11.26.03@03:28]

it appears that in roughly eight hours, i will have downloaded all but two episodes of mystery science theatre 3000. this disturbs me greatly, because it snuck up on me. just . . all of a sudden, whoops, i've got every episode ever. all from just casually downloading an episode or two when they're posted to usenet. i don't know how long it's taken me, because i just kinda started downloading episodes. and now here i am, with all of them. well, all but two. two which i WILL get by the end of the year. even if i have to . . . . . buy them.
