The Events that are: My Life

Things that go on in my life that cannot be catagorized somewhere else, sort of a catch-all

Hmmm…

Many interesting things have been happening since I moved down to Morgan Hall. First, it takes less then two minutes to get from bed to breakfast. Second, the sense of community is much greater. There have also been many more opportunities to do extracurricular activities, such as IM 5-man soccer. And Telemarking with the CSM TeleClub. On a slightly related note, I saw Rachel Doyle today (duh!). I was worried that she might have left CSM because she was mentioning that she might no come back next year in last semesters Earth Lab. Anyways, she is now rooming with Katie Gallagher who is sort of like Peter Walchenbach, but a girl, much hotter, she teleies (doesn’t alpine), and competed in Junior Olympic Kayaking. Anyways, she seems like someone I would consider dating. We’ll see. I’ve talked with her only a handful of times, however tomorrow should provide some opportunities to learn more.

What $10 Can Get You

So I flew back to Colorado today. I didn’t get to sleep until about 4am PST this morning. That gave me a whole 3 hours of sleep. I digress: I wasn’t anywhere near being done packing when I woke up. Needless to say, I was just a little late getting to the airport. To my horror, the checkin line was long and not moving very fast. I had a little more then an hour until wheels up. There was no way I was going to get through this line and secondary screening (I was flying standby) before the plane took off. So Dad talked with a SkyCap and somehow convinced him to help us out. He did. He loaded up my bags and we headed inside. He talked with some people and then got my ticket. Total time, maybe 5 minutes. Sweet.

Open Source Version of AFdN

First, I am back from Spokane. Second, I am leaving on Tuesday morning. So if there’s anything critical that someone needs to see me about, you better let me know quickly or wait until I’m back (maybe Spring Break, maybe May-ish, maybe middle or end of summer; who knows).

Now, I had this great idea: convert my website engine into an Open Source project on SourceForge.net. I haven’t had any requests for my source, but I’m going to be changing some things to make the AFdN engine a lot better. For starters, I’ve already changed the code so that it can use Movable Type CSS Stylesheets. I am also going to work on some code so that it can use MT Pluggins as well, hopefully. In short, I hope that I can make it sort of a PHP version of MT, but only for one person and only for one blog, but with other non-blog content.

Spokane

Well, we (Quinn and myself) made it to Whitworth. Thus far, I have been very impressed with the campus. The food is actually pretty good and people (at least the ones I’ve met so far) are also nice. We watched Saved last night. It actually is a pretty funny movie. Definatly worth renting.

Quinn and I are now watching the Seahawks vs Rams game on TV. Hopefully they’ll win!

What a Day

I went over to Ben’s house and watched the Seahawks win, finally. They are going to playoffs, but just barely. Then I headed over to Quinn’s for RibFest 2005. What can I say: awesome. That’s just about it. Anyways. A bunch of use came back to my house and we Halo2ed it up for a few hours before watching Anchorman, still one of the funniest movies of all time. Even the 2nd time through.

Brunch with the Boys

Had brunch with DJ, Staples, Andy, and Kelly over at Blue Star Cafe. We ended up talking for quite a bit of time about various things, including Napoleon Dynamite ("I’ll do whatever I feel like I wanna do, gosh!"). Then Darren, Staples and I went to Magnolia Audio/Video and BestBuy to look at LCD screens for Darren.
