Weird

so MT doesn't seem to be updating the comment counts on my index page...

i wonder if posting a new article will trigger it, since rebuilding the index didn't...

Argh!

so i was in borders today, looking for some book, and i got a call on my cell phone from a friend, and i proceeded to become one of those people i hate, the ones talking too loudly and for too long on a cell phone in a public place.

so thank you cara, for helping to complete my transition into that which i loathe...

Must Resist Urge To...

watch 22 consecutive hours of Babylon 5!

i got the last copy of season one from tower records, and it even turned out to be on sale!

Time and Motivation

or really, the lack of both....

i've got a ton of stuff i really should be working on, for a variety of different projects, but i never seem to have any free time, and when i do have time i don't seem to have motivation. i end up sitting around watching bad tv and surfing the web.

does anyone have any time/motivation they could lend me? it would really help...

The Ring

that had to be the scariest movie i've seen in a long time.

Welcome To 2.51

just upgraded to MT 2.51... i wonder if it worked...

Midnight Madness

i don't think i've ever been as tired, wet, and cold as i was at the end of midnight madness this weekend.

a day of running around boston in the pouring rain will do that.

but i also don't remember the last time i had so much fun ;-)

even though we lost...

The Hissing!

so i have 3 radiators in my apartment, and since they turned the heat on, all of them have been hissing, to one extent or another.

the one in my bedroom was the worst, and the superintendent fixed that (granted, it was after i started to actually see steam, but whatever).

the other two were annoying, but not overwhelmingly so. the guy had told me to call and have someone look at the others later, since he hadn't brought the correct parts to do it then (and it was late).

today, someone was supposed to come by to handle the other two. they appear to have fixed the one in the kitchen (which i couldn't care less about, i spend like 0 time in the kitchen), but the one in the living room is actually worse.

and the person i talked to today says he'll have someone come by tomorrow to fix the other one.

sure he will.

right.

Vanity

the new version of NetNewsWire has my blog listed in it's sites list.

cool.

it also has some neat bandwidth usage reduction changes, so anyone who uses it should upgrade.

again, i'd just like to point out that this program is so damn cool that i'm actually looking forward to the pro version coming out so i can pay for it. i don't really need any of the features he's talking about adding (although a few of them are neat), but i feel like even the lite version is worth paying for.

Replay

so i got a replaytv.

so far, i like it.

there's still a very intermitent problem with it not being able to change the channel on my cable box 100% of the time. i managed to tweak the settings so it doesn't happen much (i couldn't make it happen when i tried), but it still managed to fuck up recording "that 70's show" today. perhaps i'll call tech support tomorrow and see if they can help.
