News:
I’ve finally gone and added a guestbook (on the menu strip to the left). I had been thinking about it for years now, but never got around to actually adding one as it seemed unnecessary. However, I found out a lot of people felt silly writing me an email when they didn’t have a lot of things to say, and a guestbook would be perfect for people that only have a comment or two. Until I figure out a way to implement a blog commenting feature into this website, the guestbook can also double as a quick & dirty solution. Anyway, it’s up, and there’s fun to be had.

I’m looking into some of the established blogging systems out there (livejournal, wordpress..etc) at the moment because I want to add the commenting feature to this blog. However, after spending some time dicking around with them, I’m not sure if they’re a better alternative to what I’m doing now. I’ll investigate a bit more and see what happens.

While checking the web log, I noticed that some people have been downloading the Sakamoto Ryuichi mp3’s from my Share the Love! directory without going through the actual download-enabled page, which is only available if you emailed me requesting it. I don’t know how they managed to do it but they were using bandwidth without my knowledge (I disabled direct downloading in the first place for that exact reason). I really do enjoy sharing music I love and introducing people to artists I’m a fan of, but it’s only worthwhile to me if it’s a two-way communication–that’s why I made it so you had to request the download-enabled page. The mp3’s have been deleted from the server for now–this is the second time I’ve had to do it. I have a feeling there won’t be a third time.

BSG and Lost needs to pick up the pace. I hate it when I feel like I’m watching one filler episode after another. Let’s see some new progress with all that Lords of Cobalt and The Dharma Initiative business. I’m all for in-depth character development, but at the moment my patience is wearing thin.
