Today we're actually going to have guests over at our house. It's been… how long now? Last Thanksgiving, I think. (Edit: informs me that it was the TDay before last TDay. Wow. Hermit much?) Anyway, today we're having a former co-worker and a friend of his over for hot food (it's chili season!) (as in chili peppers) and cool games. We dug out the extra game controllers and charged up the game boy yesterday. ;) Yesterday was spent cleaning the downstairs. I'm declaring the upstairs as completely off limits. But downstairs doesn't look too bad. I want to run the…

“The work force reduction notification is currently in progress,” the notice stated. “Unfortunately your position is one that has been eliminated.” That's just fantastic. Radio Shack is firing via email. Guess it's slightly better than being fired by texting.

Because, you know – listening to music/downloading from the intarwebs Steals! From! the Musicians! <– is currently listening to Bob Dylan&apos;s new album. <– is planning on buying the sucker next time she&apos;s at a music store. This is gooooood shit!!!

Well, LJXP isn&apos;t working for me right now. It&apos;s either (a) something with my GoDaddy host that I&apos;m not allowed to do; (b) something I&apos;ve got messed up with my WordPress install; (c) computers hate me; or (d) some combination of the above. That&apos;s ok though – I&apos;ve got a satisfactory kludge to meet my needs. I can write posts w/ Journler, and I can format them pretty much how I want to – it&apos;s totally WYSIWYG. Journler can post both to my WordPress blog and to my LJ. It does this by bringing up another window, where it shows…

One more time. Even with the error, it seemed to work, at least a couple of times. Let&apos;s see what happens this time. After this, I give up for a while. Probably. Ok… it&apos;s not crossposting. But it did twice…. arrrgghhhh. I dunno.

Well, I don&apos;t think I&apos;m going to be getting the LJXP plugin working. I&apos;m getting the following error: Something went wrong – -32300 : transport error – HTTP status code was not 200 There doesn&apos;t seem to be a conclusive answer on LJXP&apos;s site – I&apos;m guessing it&apos;s something my install and/or host is doing that&apos;s blocking it. It&apos;s not a socket error though, like the others were getting. Hm. Dunno. Oh well. Journler will crosspost, more or less. So I guess it&apos;s ok. I kinda liked that little “originally posted blah blah blah” box though. Now to do something…

Well, I&apos;ve got a WordPress blog installed and working more or less, and I&apos;ve got Gallery up and running… mostly. Now what?

Here we go again, with another test post. This one, using Journler. Heh – that site uses the WordPress Kubrik theme! Still need to finish tweaking my theme, and/or finding another. What a pain. Gallery’s doing pretty well I think. I’ll have to start uploading real albums soon. Whee! Wonder if the LJ import thing works. o_O

Can’t get pretty permalinks to work. Can’t figure out why – they’re working on gallery. Trouble is, in order to get “now reading” to work, I had to have actual access to the mysql database, so I had to uninstall from godaddy’s side, create a mysql database (no problem, I’ve got 25 available) and install it myself. Mostly worked, except for some reason the rewrite doohickey isn’t. But I did get “now reading” to work. It looks like hell though. Too bad, I was starting to like this theme. Yes, I know the text color sucks ass – I haven’t…

It&apos;s so wrong that not only do I “get” this comic, but it made me laugh out loud. :) Enjoy: Ok, you&apos;ve got geek comics, gaming comics – but this is, hands down, the geekiest comic out there. I love it. http://xkcd.com/
