Transfer complete!
April 18
The DNS has transfered over. If you’re reading this and the URL doesn’t read ‘eyeheartzombies.com’, then you’re not on the right sever. But it should all be fixed soon.
I’m trying to make a habit of this

I really am. I want to write more so this site’ll stay fresher and I’ll be more…I dunno…right-minded (or would that be write-minded?) Well, in any case, on with the show.
Not much has happened since yesterday. We had an OK day of work then went down to Elaine’s mom’s house to pick up Poly (our dog). Poly was there ’cause she had her stitches taken out yesterday. The stitches were from having her spayed last week. The last thing we need/want is a bunch of litle Italian Greyhound puppies running around. One’s bad enough! When we got to Virginia’s house, Elaine and I decided to take Poly for a walk down to the lake that’s near her mom’s house. Didn’t seem like a bad idea at the time. Just for that I’m completely out of shape. I mean, I’m not fat or anything, I’m too thin, really, but I’m not in good physical shape. I’m a designer! Come on! I’m not supposed to do anything strenous or energetic. That’s why I’m a designer! I like sitting on my butt all day. Anyway, the walk nearly killed me. I’m not one to complain, but I don’t think I could have made it another quarter mile. By the time we got back, my legs were shaking anytime they weren’t moving. Walking, I was fine. Go to sit down, no. So I just collapsed on the couch until they convinced me to go get something to eat.
Dinner was pretty nice. Went to a local BBQ restaurant and, since we do advertising for him in our paper, got a nice discount on dinner. MMM. Ribs. Anyway, once we were full of smoked animals, we went back to Virginia’s house and we decided to show her this site and the august since she hadn’t seen them yet. Bad idea. Her computer is so slow and sluggish. I’m not sure what’s wrong with it. We’re going to reformat it soon, I think, and start over. Anyway, after an hour or so of watching the dialup program and killing a few apps that didn’t need to be running (AIM, ICQ, the scanner monitor) we finally got the sites up. That was exciting, huh?
Well, once all of that was finished, we came home, crashed on the couch to watch a bit of Conan O’Brian then went to bed. And that brings us up to now.
from the ashes…

Actually, I had an old blog entry named that. That, though, was before I was using TextPattern which is a remarkable article system. I’m impressed by it more and more as I work with it. The author was intelligent and very aware of the needs of those of us who want something that does a bit more than just post text to a web page. It’s a CMS that really helps you get the content that you want out there, out there. I dunno. I’m still just impressed by the stylesheet editing capabilities. I am in awe.
Manneth is still in development. Nothing has really been done this past week or so. Manny has been busy with school and friends and I’ve had to reinstall Linux and set up a few things (transfer a domain, set up Movable Type for the wife and other things) and so it’s just kind of been put on the back burner. Work is getting in the way as well, of course, but that’s nothing new.
Started reading a new book, Wolves of the Calla by Stephen King. It’s really good so far. Fifth in his best series of work ever, the Dark Tower series. If you haven’t read The Gunslinger, go pick it up today. Also, Elaine and I finished reading Dune and we’ve started on Ender’s Game. We hope to get back to the Dune saga as soon as we can.
Well, the print queue I was waiting on to finish has, so I’ll be off.
welcome welcome welcome

So, welcome. :) This is my test site for textpattern. Don’t really have a lot to say at this point, since I’m still setting everything up. It’s a very nice interface, though, and everything seems rather intuitive. I’ll post more when I’ve gone through it all some more. Well, TTFN.
