bored?

i'm not really feeling the new blogger interface. i actually liked the square corners and block colors. plus this whole trying to be mt thing is kinda creeping me out.

i've been wanting to code this index page for a while now, i've just never gotten around to sorting out the css and deciding if i want to still do tables. last time i tried to do anything with code i ended up making so many tables it amazed me to the point of wanting to try and teach myself how to javascript again. but i'm still trying to make myself make the switch to mac. or, i'm trying to convince my dad that i should make the switch to mac. it's getting closer... he finally can relate to my dislike of windows.

anyway.

right before the blogger relaunch i found a site that will do image hosting: imageshack. i was actually doing a search for another free website [hosting] so that i could upload pictures for other people's blogs to it. tripod apparently is now in agreement with its sibling angelfire and no longer allows image linking from tripod sites. so i went on my search and temporarily solved the problem.

and then this new blogger with rounded corners comes out and behold: image hosting with hello. which of course only workes for pc, so i never intend to get myself hooked on it. but i might have to look into it for other people, seeing as how i'm planning on doing a total overhaul on all my sites and deleting a bunch of my files.

thing one: i like heading tags. i don't like putting text or whatever in a box and having some machine code it for me when i know how to do it (i say as i use blogger...).

thing two: i spent a good deal of time researching commenting systems. spending two days waiting for an opening to sign up for yaccs before they closed membership. finding haloscan and being totally pissed off by enetation. and now comments are included. do they let you ban ip addresses? have stats? organize comments? i have to look more into that.

i'm tempted to make another tests blog just to try out all the new stuff they added, to see what exactly will make my browser crash and if blogger still does indeed eat many many posts. i might do that now that i have time.

six apart has been doing some updating on mt, so i hear. maybe i'll make the move now that i'll have a decent stream of money to pay for web hosting. or i could just use typepad. or tabulas (found through the comments at lyd). but then again i haven't been writing all that much lately.

i got my bme/e2 access today, which oddly hasn't helped much at all. probably because i've been spending 2-3 hours on bme and other sites researching for the past week or so. which reminds me.

ugh. no more school. i'm drained, and i just want to get out and be with people before i have to leave. because when i come back, everyone else will be busy or gone, and then everyone will be gone. i just want a couple days with you people.

i think i just got the highest physics grade this semester. all my work actually paid off. pleased.

and for anyone that reads this, and will be participating in the digital yearbook thing i'm attempting to put together - please get me your picture, song, and quote as soon as possible. bring them to katie's party. but if you want to see this thing done by next week, i need them yesterday.

that is all.
