We can still be merry!

Tue Dec 27, 2005 18:29 (UTC -5)

Now that the Christmas season is over, I’ve taken down the holiday layout. I’ve also stopped beginning posts with “Merry.” It got old real fast… around the second time I did it, in fact. But I figured I had to follow through till Christmas or it wouldn’t make sense. I’ve reverted back to the plain old layout, which will not be around much longer. Enjoy it while you can. I’m pretty much done with the new layout, and I need people to make sure it works in various browsers. If you’re using an operating system other than Windows XP and/or a browser other than IE 6 or Firefox 1.5, please post a comment (or e-mail me) and I’ll have you test it out.

I’ve discovered a great way to knock down two to three hours: all I have to do is record a song on my new multitrack recorder that I got for Christmas. I’ve already recorded a couple to test it out. It’s fun to layer on the different sounds. My favorite part is doing the vocals because I can harmonize with myself and stuff. The only problem with the recorder is that it doesn’t seem to recognize the signal from some of my microphones, but my best microphone works with it, so that’s okay.

Last night I went to see The Producers. There were a lot of old people there. I guess only old people go to the movies on a Monday night. But then, it was a musical and a remake of an old movie, so that could have something to do with it. Anyway, it was funny, but it seemed to go on for much too long (134 minutes). I probably wouldn’t see it again right away.

Why do you sometimes wake up five minutes before the alarm rings? Here’s an interesting answer.

Apparently, using Explorer Destroyer, you can (try to) get Internet Explorer users to download Firefox and make money in the process. You put a script on your site that tells IE users to switch browsers (and, if you want, it can shut them out of your site until they get Firefox).

Two years ago: “All of you who thought that the Mint prints bills please stay after class to write ‘I will learn about my country’ 50 times on the blackboard.”
