I figure it’s been a long while since I last provided any sort of update to this ‘ere blog, so as a defiant stand against an oblivious world I have decided to type up something quickly.
Still working at Comcast with only a few weeks remaining. I will be formally informing them of my intent to resign on Thursday. It should make for an interesting conversation with my supervisor and manager. I have heard of them telling people to leave right then and there (I’m looking at you Sean, if you ever read this). I hope they don’t do that, but in the interest of not burning the proverbial bridge I will be doing the right thing and giving a 2 week notice. I won’t argue if they tell me to take a hike, but I sure could use more money. Also, under California state law they can legally tell me to leave like that if they so choose.
My days haven’t changed much. I come home from work and hop on my computer. That’s about it. I usually turn the TV on and watch a few hours’ worth of Adult Swim before hitting the sack.
A side project that I am fiddling around with during some of my more intensely boring moments is running a Mediawiki/webserver from my personal computer. I have toyed with the thought of using it as a nice way to consolidate all of my school notes. I thought about placing it on the same webserver this blog is hosted on, but placing something as important as school notes on a system that I don’t have direct, physical control over is a recipie for disaster. I plan on implementing a simple, frequent backup scheme at some point to protect against a hard drive failure.
Finally, I got fed up with the last blog theme. It was a nice experiment, but I always seem to lean toward the more simple. The previous one was getting too big and complicated. I was in the process of updating my WordPress installation and decided to see of there were any new, snazzy themes out there. I stumbled across this one and like it so far. I had to edit one of the php files to remove some of the sidebar widgets, but otherwise this is a stock example of the new theme.
So much time, so little to say.
