Darcy Casselman's weblog. Just like old times.

I've been busy

Yes, I've been kind of busy the last few days. This site may disappear for a few hours/days. I'm going to be updating it. I've temporarily moved the database off to my (other) linux machine. So now I've got everything on the server backed up and safe and nothing's going to change there until I've got the upgrade done.

After that, I've got plenty of little changes in mind. Now more than ever, I really want to do a "pointless updates" section off to the side or something. I'm liking this idea.

Besides computer stuff, I've been reading a lot more, too. I read through Promised Land, by Connie Willis and Cynthia Felice, the collaborative team that brought us Light Raid (I never did finish that). This was probably the better book. Still really predictable and fluffy, but that was what I was after. So, in the end, I was happy.

After I finished that, I read through volume 2 of Utena the other night. I love that series. I'm also occasionally skimming a book I found (at the soon-to-be-closed Waterloo Computer Books store) on Generative Programming, which is less fun, but still interesting.

I think so, anyway.
