a blog of sorts that is never consistently updated
I’ve decided to import everything from my old MovableType blog to WordPress.
With the heavy commercialization of a previously awesome script, it’s useless for me to use it.
Other than that technicality, I setup WP in less than 2 minutes of knowing what to do, another minute importing my MT entries/comments.
Very impressed with WordPress.
I recommend you give it a try 
I’ve decided to temporarily close my blog site as my past blogging history tells me that I don’t blog at all during the summer period. You can see in the archive list that my 2003 summer months are not there – I didn’t blog in the months of June and July.
If you need to get in touch with me, you know how. If you have no way of contacting me, then it’s a pretty obvious reason that you don’t need to contact me.
A big thanks to the following people for their hospitality and dealing with my uninteresting humor: Hudson, Tony, Tony’s parents, Jordan, and Jordan’s family, Ben, Ryan, Erin, and Jessica.
Have a good summer and don’t forget to write! 
Yes yes, the site is still here. It’s just been down because the Data Center’s network had some issues that took a bit to resolve. 
Hopefully, it was 100% fixed now.
If you are seeing this message, that means that this site has successfully transferred over from the eagle server on the West coast to the spring server on the east coast.
Why?
Performance- Eagle was a Sub-1GHz Celeron server with about a gig of ram that has been running for couple of years steadily for the past couple of years. Lately, I realize there were some slow downs and problems of performance reliability. The server was rock-stable but for what I needed to do, it wasn’t exactly the best server. The Spring server is a 1.5GHz Pentium 4 with 512MB of ram. It is comparable to Eagle but eagle had ALOT of sites being hosted on it while… spring had just a couple. I think I can host another couple hundred sites on Spring without seeing that much of a slowdown.
root@spring [~]# uptime
8:12pm up 28 days, 12:47, 1 user, load average: 0.00, 0.03, 0.05
As you can see, the stability of this server is unquestionable Actually, I think the last time I rebooted the server was because I had to do a kernel upgrade on it.

When you have once seen the glow of happiness on the face of a beloved person, you know that a man can have no vocation but to awaken that light on the faces surrounding him.
okay – I realize this is a crappy one of movabletype’s default styles but as long as I am working on the PHP-MySQL-XML based project that has a high potential of becoming the backend of couple of projects that I am working on… I will not have time to work on making my site better.
I basically just took one of the MovableType’s original styles because I got sick of my old design… it wasn’t even really a design; when I created that brown-ish design, I just wanted to mess with colors I’ve never worked with before. Besides, I just liked the picture of the lamp and the plant. Anyways, so no images on my site except for the smilies.
Most of the changes are to the handy little bar on the right. The calendar isn’t that usefuly but oh well, it looked cool so I left it there. The search engine is kind of weird and my former design didn’t have the archived links so if I ever get bored, I can read what I thought in the past… this is the point of me keeping a blog, by the way 
And let’s see – I took the xanga sites from my xanga site I created just so that I could comment on people’s xangas. If you got a site you want me to link to, please let me know. Also added the blogrings from Xanga too… heh
And this site now can be syndicated (look at the footer). Not that anyone will use it for anything But I’m definitely seeing usage of XML nowadays and RSS feeds – I’m going to have to implement it into my new project because… it seems like every CMS nowadays has it 
hehe
