I haven't been posting much here because Becca's been up to visit and I've been sick. I woke up this morning feeling closer to death than I ever have before, partly due to this really bad cold and partly due to a Special Brew hangover. Since I knew I was going to be bedridden, I decided to set up a little Tumblr-based website to see if it would get some attention. Christ alive it did. In under two hours, I got 50 followers. I don't think the web form I mocked up is going to hold under the pressure if the site keeps getting bigger, so if anyone knows a simple way I can get a dependable web form, let me know.

A Bike

I don't normally post my pictures here, but I'm sick and I think this one turned out well. Also, I'm curious to see how posterous handles png transparency. Blah blah blah don't use this without permission, etc.

Party Favor

You know that feeling you get when you wake up after a long night of partying? I don't specifically mean a hang-over, but that sore throat coupled with the distant taste of blood and the shakes. I always think it's kind of funny. It doesn't feel like a night out if I didn't have this physical manifestation of how much fun I had.

I think I can only hear out of one ear.

Birthday Parties Full of People I Dislike

10 mins, 4 beers, whichever comes first

Finally

I'm finished with my grant proposal. It's not going to be accepted, but at least my boss will be happy I tried. I'd be scared if it actually did get accepted, because then I'd have to write a much more comprehensive proposal including budgeting and stuff. Don't get me started on actually doing the project.

Why I won't get accepted:

I said I could solve that whole terrorism problem once and for all.

Through constructivism.

That's like me saying I can solve the bail-out problem with tarot cards. Even if I'm right, it won't work.

Warning

If you're serious about owning a website, never use Namecheap.com for your domains.

Their DNS was down from a DDOS for about 14 hours and counting now. They just now provided a manual fix. Unbelievable.

Also, another warning: If you're the douchebags listening to rap and having a party where I'm guessing you throw things on the ground a lot in the room above me at 3 am, I'm this close to snapping (your faces with a baseball bat).

Stupid

I just figured it's probably something to do with my domain host, whose website seems to be down, too, although some other domains I have with them still seem to work...
