Things have been slow around here...
Couple reasons:
1) My wife and son left town for two weeks, so I spent ALL my free time re-fimilarizing myself with Counter Strike.
2) Mozilla. Over the past two months I have almost completely phased out using IE as a web browser. I would say I use Mozilla for 95% of my browsing. It would be 100% percent of the time but I'm having major problems getting Outlook and AIM to open links with Mozilla. When I got these programs to not open links in IE, they would just not open the links at all. That sucked, luckily I was able to at least return the settings to open links in IE. All of this really has nothing to do with my lack of posting, but it's relevant because the back-end I built to managing my blog was designed for IE, and uses JavaScript taken from kottke.org's comments page that only works with IE... so writting entries is less appealing to me because of it's added difficulty with Mozilla.
3) School. I finally went to college (read: junior). Something I never really thought I would have to do, since I've been fortunate in life to be able to have the skills and job to pay the bills every month. But it finally came to a point where I want to broaden my knowledge, so I am delving into JavaScript at the moment. I want to take classes down the line into other OOP's such as Perl or C. BTW... I am only taking 2 credits, not a whole lot. But it's two nights a week and does take a whole lot of time away from my family. Yesterday was cool cos I got home from work earlier, and spent about an extra hour with my wife than normal.
4) JavaScript. With the new things I am learning I'd rather spend the time I have making something new with JS than browsing the web. Case in point, the other week while pulling an all night Counter Strike session, I found myself not playing the game and messing with my code. On the homework assignments on my class, instead of just completing the assignment, I find myself going overboard. Last night I was up until 2 AM finishing an assignment.
5) My son. He isn't really to blame at all for my writting here, I just wanted to talk about him. While he was away from me he got his 1st tooth. And just this past week a 2nd one came in. He's growing so fast and is starting to scoot himself on the ground to get objects that are out of his reach. It sounds kinda crazy, but I am so looking forward to the day when he can run around. I want to be able to chase him around when I get home, and wrestle him to the ground, and throw/roll a ball back and forth with him. It's gonna be cool.
