Final exams and where I’ve been

admin — Tue, 05 May 2009 01:36:45 +0000

Final exam in Middleton

It’s that time again, time for final exams!! I have one exam tomorrow at 7:30AM (whomever thought this would be a good idea should be fired!), one on Wednesday and two on Thursday. Then I’m done for this semester.

The above paragraph should set the tone as to why I haven’t been posting items on all of my websites in the past couple of months. I’ve been really busy with school work and a bunch of other items that suddenly came up that had to be taken care of. Mostly medical reasons that I rather not get into because I have family members that read this blog and don’t like it when I discuss person items. What I can tell you is that it’s a medical condition that I had in high school and recently came back. (Don’t worry, I don’t have the swine flu!)

On a more positive note, when I was designing a new theme for my blog I found a record of my first domain name purchase from Network Solutions dating back to 1999. Which means I’m celebrating 10 years online! I no longer own that domain name but you can view the website through archives.org (I have no clue why it’s listed under 2001). Depending on if I still kept the old files, I may publish them so you can how terrible I was a web design back then.

I’ve also been hitting up the job market. I’m currently a contributor to techvi.com. It’s a start-up created by Randall Bennett from CNET. From time to time, I may appear in the online show but as of now, I’m just submitting news to the site. You can see my Internet debut below:

Once again, I tried to reapply for the college newspaper and once again, I was denied. Except this time I was told that my writing style did not fit with the opinion section. I’m not even going to try for the Spring semester, unless I try out for a different section.

And finally, you may have noticed that the website loads faster. This is because I’ve move from my previous host, Dreamhost, to a new one, Hostgator. This was on recommendations from several friends both in real life and in Twitter life.

That’s all for now, need to get back to studying. There’s also a post on ControlAltTV that explains what I’m going to do to that website as well.

Bye!
