It had to snow…

It’s freakin’ APRIL! Gah… It’s been nearly shorts-weather for the past week, few weeks, and now its just as white outside as February… Ew… It’s not even cold enough! It’s still kind of warm out…

Whatever.

I feel I owe you, dear reader, an apology.

It seems my “update” yesterday was more of a rant than an honest, all encompassing, update. And I am sorry…

Sure, some bad stuff has gone down, but things have been on the up ‘n up too. And here’s where I get to boast…

del.icio.us

I’ve been wasting a fair amount of time this afternoon on the blog, trying to integrate del.icio.us and such. I thought I would get AdSense up and running, and then I decided not to be a sell-out. So pretty much, today was wasted… Damn…

AH-HA! I won!

So, one bit of fallout of getting the new MacBook Pro is that I am actually organizing my life a bit with iCal. I did this back at Susquehanna University, and it seemed to help, so I am trying it. I don’t suppose you could call this a bad thing in and of its self, but I (and your going to get lost here) just got this new plug-in for Apple Aperture, and the author’s site got me back into thinking about customizing my blog a bit.

Confused yet?

So I set out to set up Event Calendar 3 (a plug-in for WordPress), and that is where the trouble began.

Long story short, Event Calendar 3 and K2 (the template I am using) do not get along, and practically destroyed my WordPress install. But I prevailed, and with a little wizardry, I got thing working again.

This is all, goodnight.

Two steps forward, one… not…

So, I’ve been messing around with WordPress for the past 12 hours straight. Fun fun fun. I like the little layout I’ve got going. It needs a bit more tweaking; there are some sidebar elements I want to get in there, a few CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) changes that need to be made, the usual. But thus far… Pleased. With the layout at least… Then I got the great idea to throw Gallery2 into the mix, and WPG2… Thats when things got interesting…

Lets try this out.

There is only one album right now. If you are familiar with Gallery, clicking on the album image brings you to the… oh wait, we have to select an album again… shoot… So lets select an album we want to go into again… ok, so now we can select an ima… crap, what, do we have to do? Confirm again? Never mind, lets just select a random image from the side, that should work. Ok, so we got one… WHAT THE HECK!? Album page AGAIN!?

I think you get the point…

Hopefully there will be some peeps from the WPG2 forums heading this way to give it a looksee… I’d really like to get it working and integrated, that would be swell.

EDIT: Things have now since been fixed, move along, there’s nothing to see here…

It’s about damn time.

I have finally established a solid personal space on the web. I’ve had a number of websites in the past. Namely beLine Perspectives. However, when I started referring business contacts its way I had to change its lean a little more towards the professional side.

The worst part is now I am going through a name change and will probably drop the beLine name in the near future, but since I have already sent referrals to that domain I can’t change back. I need a place I could blog freely… not MySpace…

So here it is…
