I've been browsing backward through my archives, finding technical articles. I was talking to Alex one day about how he tries his best to make his HOWTOs and such web searchable. Since the entire /blog/ section here is off limits to robots, I decided to put useful articles on a Blogger site. I certainly could rig up something here, but having Google handle that effectively solves the primary problem: getting the content indexed so that people can find it. Note that I'm not splitting the blog. All content will still exist here, but some of it is now in a more public place.
Reading old articles has brought up a bunch of forgotten bits and pieces. I completely forgot about Deviantart, for example, and I found that Nothing Nice to Say has actually updated in the last three years. And of course, a website reaching back over ten years of my memory, Hitoshi Doi's Sailor Moon page.
Are you excited about the VP debate tomorrow? I sure am, even though it's going to be a oh-god-is-it-over-yet train wreck while I watch through one open eye as I hold my hands in front of my face. I suggested to Erickson that we turn it into a game — take a drink every time Palin clearly doesn't understand the question. Erickson replied that "people might need to drive home..."
I think it's a sign that I'm maturing (read: growing old and stale) that I don't find Love Hina as comforting as I used to. Perhaps it's because I don't see myself as a bumbling Keitaro anymore, or perhaps it's because now even I think he's an idiot for putting up with Naru. She's violent, possessive, bipolar, jealous, at times arguably insane, and oh, yes, incredibly hot — i.e. the kind of girl I typically fawn all over. Maybe I'm finally growing out of that.
I leave you with this: If we were playing a game of Civilization, would you try to fix the US, or would you quit the game and start over?
