oh the antici...

so today in comp sci we signed up for free web hosting. the choices: geocities, angelfire, and tripod. i didn't want geocities, because i've already done that, and now i really want to actually build my own page, and not rely on WYSIWYG. that and it pisses me off that i can't get free ftp service. so that means no blog. damn geocities.

i didn't want angelfire because, well, frankly angelfire sites tend to piss me off. i don't know exactly why... it's just that whenever i go to an angelfire site and see that first pop up and then see all the little angelfire-related crap on it... well it sorta irks me. which leads to me getting pissed off.

so i decided to try tripod. why? well, as joe said, salazar uses tripod for the comp sci classes site, and it was pretty much my only alternative. i'm antsy to get started on it... put my blog on it (not this one, most definitely not this one) because it actually has ftp service, put links up and get it looking all nice and gothic. well not exactly gothic but you know it's gonna be black and grey, or maybe grey and blue and black... hmmm sounds a bit like this page doesn't it...

but i don't know what he wants us to do, if he wants us to just chill for a while or something. and really i don't know shit about how to actually build a nice looking site. i mean i can to basics (pretty much what you see on this blog and the other blog), and i can modify colors and fonts and stuff like that, but when it comes to actually making the tables... well let's just say it's taken me almost a year to get this far, and i won't be learning that stuff in a day. or a weekend. but maybe a weekend... if i spend all day on the net and read all my learn html stuff. but i'm still pretty html-stupid. not to mention all that other crap we'll learn about (javascripting? we need to know javascripting? but can't i just cut and paste it like i usually do?).

so yeah. tomorrow's friday. and then another weekend. ah the weekends, how i love you so. thinkin about getting those letters written this weekend... and maybe tell my parents of my heathen ways, if i'm brave enough. and have money and a full tank of gas, not to mention a house to stay at for a couple of nights...

hmmm... that's right. that's why i was gonna get a job, so i can get some ftp service and move to movable type so i can use spell check on the blog. apparently blogger's just a stepping stone, and according to some people it really sucks compared to movable type. and i don't disagree with them. that and i have to check out logjamming for hosting.

but that's like 2 years away. i mean, i have to learn how to build a website from scratch first. and that could take a while.
