New Blog

Ok, in the next week or so i will be transferring my blog over to www.lifeinthegeeklane.com. Im not too sure which blogging tool im going to use as yet though. Greymatter looks ok and so does b2 and then i guess i could alwys jsut stay with using blogger, but it doesnt have allow comments so probably not. *sigh* decisions decisions.

my very first domain name! *gulp*

I just registered my first domain name - www.lifeinthegeeklane.com
*shrugs* Found a web host that costs $100 per year (AUD) and includes free domain name registration, 200mb storage, unlimited email address, unlimitiied subdomains, ftp, ssh, php, mysql etc etc. Ive always wanted one so i thought bugger it, and did it.

So chances are this blogspot blog will be converted over soon. Whenever i hear back from the site about the order. I can make cool discussion forums and stuff too! woohoo!

Im happy. :D

Friday on my mind...

Friday... oh friday... *sigh*
Sitting at uni again, trying to get my hungry self motivated. Me thinks i will go get some food then maybe my brain will work.

Spent yesterday fiddling with damn video wall stuff, of course - support for macs is bad, so its a matter of sorting through newsgroup posts and trying to apply other unix/linux tips to the mac. As you can probably guess it didnt work, i dont kow enough about the whole unix configure / make process *sigh* get weird errors telling me the source code has butt munch or somthing bleh who knows.

I got another ichat a/v buddy to video chat with! Read about it here. isights are nifty... *sigh* technology rocks.

Still work hunting... gotta go see some chick at the employment place soon. Oh the joys...

righto, bugger this im hungry...

LiveJournal == painful

Just signed up to livejournal so i could read a friends journal, and i have to say its got to be one of the most pain processes ive had to go through. Sure its got a few features that are ok, but the layout and preferences layout totally sucks. Want to edit a particular preference? the only way i could figure was to basiccally click mindlessly until you find it, things you think would be under the journal menu are under the manage menu and things under the manage menu should logically be under the journal menu.... bleh.. im sticking with blogger...
The preferences are one big scrollpage full of check boxes and text fields, whats with that? Surely dividing the preferences up into sections would make the whole thing a LOT easier to use and also navigate around.

Livejournal bites...
