I haven’t written much of substance here. I feel a little bad about it, but then I have stupid fears about revealing myself, my beliefs, thoughts, feelings… of being exposed to the slings and arrows, as it were. Intellectually I know that these fears should not be allowed to interfere with what I choose to do [...]

Plugins Added
Ok, I’ve added a bunch of plugins. I’ve modified a few myself, and I don’t really have the links to the ones I’m using anywhere on the site but if you’re interested in any of these, you can email me at elias@iamelias.com and I’ll point you in their direction.
What a complement!
Valve is banning BioShock from the office. That’s a pretty big complement to Irrational/2K Boston.
Discovering the world of WordPress plugins…
I’ve added a few plugins to the site. I always wanted to have a random quote type of plugin, so I found one and set it up to my liking. In the process I found several others I took a shine to as well, and they also have been added. Now to find some quotes I [...]
there’s a Wired article about Penny Arcade
Penny Arcade is awesome. I love Jerry Holkins’ writing especially. Now Wired has a great article about how they got to be the coolest success story on the web.
Ok, that’s better…
It seems to be working now. I updated WordPress to version 2.2, thus blasting the theme I set up (by editing the default theme). So I just went out and got a different theme and modified it a bit. Much easier than trying to turn the default one into a fluid-width theme. And it looks [...]
what a piece of crap
Apparently the bug is only fixed for me, when I’m logged into the site. <sigh>
category bug, again
I’m starting to get really annoyed with this stupid bug that sporadically pops up on this site. I don’t can’t figure out if it’s a problem with something like the version of the database it’s using, or WordPress itself (which I doubt since I haven’t seen any reports of anyone else having the problem), or [...]
player beware…
Apparently arcades are dangerous… and not because there might be dangerous people hanging around.
quickie
Saw Stardust (the movie) on Friday and it was awesome. Go see it. Still making progress on Stardust (my board game project). Much left to do, but I’m enjoying it.
Must-See Movie
Minesweeper
weird…
Well, the USB keyboard works… but not on the USB port. Apparently the PS/2 port is ok, though the USB ports on this thing are tricky–some things work on them and some things don’t.
funny thing, time
Particularly funny, or at least I assume it would be from some point of view, not neccessarily mine, is the way it changes things. Like, for instance, my home computer’s PS/2 keyboard port failing. At least I’m pretty sure that is the problem. It’s another sign of age for what is the electronic equivalent of [...]
