Version 3.0 and nothing to show for it
I think it could really more accurately be described as v0.7 or so, but whatever. This is my blog and I shall number as I damn well please!
I’ve gone back to its original style, Beast Blog 1.0; it had been using Beast Blog 2.0 but I didn’t like the auto “Read more” creation. I’m sure that with minimal code changes I could have disabled it, but I had already spent five minutes or so on image hacks and I’m a busy man! Or lazy, I can never be bothered to remember which.
I think the main reason for the lack of content on the blog, with the exception of the aforementioned laziness, is that I was trying to make something that didn’t come naturally. I registered the domain shortly after I was scared into the “Must be professional, must be intelligent, must be marketable!” mindset that so many people have. Maybe it’s because I have a great job, maybe it’s because I’ve mellowed out or maybe it’s because I’ve been influenced by xkcd, but:
Apologies for the slightly compressed text; the original comic doesn’t look like crap.
Of course, having said that, for a while I wasn’t sure what I could talk about. I still maintain a friends-only Livejournal, simply because there are some things I’d like to say that I don’t want everyone to read; they’re mostly things containing the word “fuck,” so you’re not missing much. But recently I’ve gotten into homebrewing my own beer: so recent that I’ve yet to taste any of it apart from hydrometer tests. Still, though, it seems like a rich subjects and so when combined with the various bits of geekery/miscellanea I can come with on my own, it seems like it may actually give me something to talk about.
Here’s hoping, at least.

[...] I’ve covered this a bit before, which is why this is volume two. Then I was perfectly happy at CIRRIE, but now I’ve decided that I need to look for a new job not because I’m unhappy but because I would really like to be able to be the sole income while my wife stays home with our son when he’s born. I’m looking for web development jobs, so I assume it will be standard practice to Google applicants, and while my doppelgangers are currently DAs in Boston and apparently football coaches and the like (I wonder if Boston got the sheriff from Pennsylvania; he seems to have disappeared) it appears that the lawyer or real estate agent who used to owned me.com has let his registration lapse and so I am King of Google.
