So, I’m taking a break from this blog and am enjoying some time with something more… WYSIWYG.

An experiment: the aggregated everything (at least everything that is mine) — The Works.

Can you hear me now?

I’ve just imported about a hundred posts from December 2000 through May 2003. The posts are kind of a mess, since during this time I used four different blogging systems (hand coding, Blogger, Movable Type, Blosxom). As a result, my RSS feeds may be a bit messy as I update and reformat these older posts. […]

Welcome to my all-new, all-not-broken website! I’m currently using Dreamhost until it’s decided what will become of the venerable zeppox.ath.cx. Needless to say, some site bits might not be working quite right for a little while.

Update: Now’s as good as time as any to say goodbye to my old http://zeppox.ath.cx/~jackson/ URL — So if you […]

You can always tell when class deadlines are approaching… I start making tons of little updates to the site.

changelog notebook - An experimental blog relating to my geekier interests. I have some doubts about the wisdom of multiple blogs, but I’m going to try it this way for a while. movie reviews - Updated with the […]

Well, I’ve been increasingly frustrated with anything and everything I’ve posted on this site. As a result, I’ve decided to close down this blog, and start a new one. These archives will stay where they are for the forseeable future.

update: Have resurrected the archives for the sake of posterity

Do you read Ars Technica?

It seems that MT screws up lists… I hadn’t realised that MT is quite so enthusiastic about line breaks. I had imagined that is converted skipped lines to paragraphs, but hadn’t realised it inserted so many hard breaks. This made lists look really funny. To fix, I’m simply writing lists out […]

My misson (since I’ve chosen to accept it) is to take the next step in infogeekdom: integrating my weblog with a Wiki.

The scheme is simple. Following in Steven Frank’s footsteps, I shall install WikiTikiTavi and use Les Orchard’s MTWikiFormat MT plugin.

One last thought:

Why should all this […]

I recently added a page to my site where I can keep a list of interesting articles and posts that I want to read. Mostly these come from weblogs and news sites, many of which are hopping on the RSS/RDF/XML/FOAF/etc. bandwagon. The script I wrote to track this bookmarks requires me to input […]

Still can’t come up with a new page design that I like. I’ve been browsing around, looking for inspiration. I made up a page inspired by Francois Jordaan’s page and I like the logo I made, but I’m not overly pleased with the rest. Back to the drawing board.

I must admit that Movable Type is considerably more polished than Blogger or Blosxom. It doesn’t have the simplicity of Blosxom, nor the egalitarian feel, but it isn’t difficult to install nor to use and has a far more powerful tagset. It remains to be seen if I will continue to use it […]

I think Blogger hates me.

Now that I have this up and running I must say it kicks major booty. But I think it could be a LOT cooler. I want an icon in my tray that I can click on at any time to post a thought. Then I want something like the Brain where all my thoughts are […]

Ok, so we’ll see how long this particular attempt at web publishing lasts. I give it a week or less. I’m not very good at following through with these kinds of things, just look at the last time I updated my school site.

Oh my god… I’ve made myself a blog.

I’ve made a blog! Sweet holy jeebus… I’ve done it now. I’ve put up pictures of my last two backpacking trips here for perusal. For some damn reason they came out pretty bad overall.

Well, my web page is back… Again… This seems like a much easier design to deal with.
