Blogging

Cyndi was bashing my blog's theme, so I changed it to this painfully orange and yellow theme of pain.

Update: I've switched it to a green one. The orange was too painful. The top-right photo isn't mine.

The title says it all. furiousBlog has existed for two years as of a couple weeks ago.

I've been wanting to make my blog more minimalist for a while now. I like minimalism. When I log into my computer I am greeted by a beautiful gray screen with a mouse pointer in the middle, and nothing else: no menus, no icons, no taskbar. I love it.

For furiousBlog, I wanted something clean and crisp. For a while, I was thinking of porting simplr (check out the screenshot at the bottom of that page), but decided to not go that minimalist. I ended up going with Hemingway which is one that I had admired when I saw it for Wordpress. It has since been ported to Serendipity.

I hope you like it.

I was sick all last week. I went in to work on Wednesday, but left after only a couple hours. I was exhausted. I still have a cough, but I'm basically all better. I had planned to use the sick time to do some blogging, but I ended up doing almost nothing.

One thing I did do was to watch a marathon of the TV show Psych. It's about a guy who pretends to be a psychic and a friend who run a private detective service. I was lukewarm on it when it started, but after watching an episode or two, I quite liked it. I ended up watching several episodes and now recommend the show. New episodes are on right after Monk (another excellent show).

On a different subject, for those of you who have blogger/blogspot blogs: unbeknownst to me, my RSS reader hasn't been able to read your feeds lately. Thankfully, blogger has finally started using true RSS feeds in addition to the ATOM feeds they've always had. My reader likes the RSS feeds better, so I can now start reading your blogs again.

Also, Heroes starts back up tonight. Yay!

I switched Cyndi and my blogs to the new server today. If you're seeing this message, the DNS server you use has the updated info and you're seeing the blog on the new server.

I've switched all of the blogs now and only have a couple other sites to do. Then I move on to the mail, which should be less than fun.
