I'm working on the template/layout as well as MT4. I would like to also include my shared items for Google Reader, found here, and updates from my Twitter thing, found here. I use Google Reader daily, so there are constant updates for that. Twitter is still new to me. I have been able to update that with IM and text message, so that seems cool, but I haven't really gotten into it yet. The first thing I need to do is update my... 270@http://www.twenty-something.net/ Site Stuff 2008-05-05T11:35:28-06:00 http://www.twenty-something.net/archives/000269.php Well, I've left this blog alone for quite some time now. But for some reason, I've been getting more traffic, and reading more blogs again. So I will redesign the site based on the new version of Movable Type available, but it will pretty much look like it is now. Maybe with snazzy pictures and stuff, new links to stuff I am reading, (as many of the links to the right are outdated). So BE PREPARED for awesomeness that is me. Or just mediocrity. Either way, it's comin.... 269@http://www.twenty-something.net/ Site Stuff 2008-04-15T11:03:10-06:00 http://www.twenty-something.net/archives/000268.php I have a resolution to re-visit this little site of mine.

You're not pretentious, but you're not into what some would call 'low humor' either. You'll laugh at a good dirty joke, but you definitely prefer something clever to something moist.You probably like well-thought-out pranks and/or spoofs and it's highly likely you've tried one of these things yourself.

Sometimes I don't understand how I should feel or even how I actually do feel. Sometimes I can't get over things, or I don't have the courage to speak up or say something. Sometimes things don't work out even if you plan for the worst. Sometimes I hate people. Sometimes I love people. Sometimes I think that I wanna die. Sometimes I wanna live, but in a different life. Sometimes there's things that you have no control over, even when you should. Sometimes people suck.

I installed Fedora and it runs pretty decent, that is if you don't mind a do-it yourself type system. There are a lot of things that Windows does automatically for you, whereas Linux you have to do yourself, such as wireless. I had to recompile kernels (I still don't understand what that word means) and drivers and other crap. Good learning experience, but frustrating nonetheless. ***** END GEEK STUFF *****... 262@http://www.twenty-something.net/ Geek Stuff 2006-04-28T11:11:08-06:00 http://www.twenty-something.net/archives/000261.php It's been a long time since I've visited my own site, much less writting anything for it. I've still been around, but a lot of things have changed in my life since my last regular update. I've moved from Peoria, IL to Chicago. Big change, and one for the better. I changed jobs from Caterpillar to Motorola, which is nice, not that I had huge problems with Cat, but variety in your career is nice. My lady is doing some photography stuff, which she enjoys, again, which is nice. My daughter is in a nicer school, not necessarily better, but... 261@http://www.twenty-something.net/ Site Stuff 2006-04-26T10:43:34-06:00 http://www.twenty-something.net/archives/000259.php I've decided to make my return to blogging, at least my return to writing posts of my own. I've slowly got back into the habit of reading other's posts, leaving comments on a few of them, etc. I am going to try and hit 3 times a week of posts. I feel that having a one a day requirement is tough to match, and then I feel that I don't put any thought into it. So I have a post that should be coming out by Monday dealing with my thoughts (as if there aren't enough people doing so anyways)... 259@http://www.twenty-something.net/ Site Stuff 2005-09-02T12:34:38-06:00 http://www.twenty-something.net/archives/000257.php Here's a small collection of links.

Peterman to my Kramer. I had a guy contact me who wants to buy my website and content. It got me thinking about what price would I sell my thoughts, experiences, crap, theories, rants, and other shit that I post on here. I was thinking a few grand and I am up for sell, but then I got to thinking that this is exactly what J. Peterman asked of Kramer in that Seinfeld episode where J.
