So I ended up playing with my site last night. I’ll think of one thing that is quick and easy to do and then I start finding other things that should be done that are just as quick and easy and next thing you know, it’s 4 hours later and I’m still messing with my site. Thankfully, that didn’t happen this time. Well, it did, I just remembered to go to bed during those 4 hours. Now that I have the new, shinier WordPress version, all of my pages are working now, so that has been added to the sidebar.

I’ve also been working on Open Source Cook a little. Not a lot, but my cookbook is now working and is up over there. I’m talking about the list of recipes that I’ve gathered over the years and haven’t necessarily tried yet. As I try them, I’ve been adding them to OpenSource, so you’ll see all of them at some point…hopefully.

Literary Escapism is still going good. If you missed it, I had my first interview with an actual author a couple weeks ago. Lynda Hilburn was kind of enough to answer a few questions for me, so that was exciting. I just finished reading Acheron by Sherrilyn Kenyon and the book was so good, I can’t find a book that can compare. So I’m going into one of my reading funks. I’ll still be reading, but a lot less than I normally do, so there won’t be as many posts over there right now.

Let’s see what else has been going on. I still have my mySpace page, but I’m really not using it anymore. I signed up for one since a few of my friends exclusively use it and I wanted to keep up to date with them; however, now I’m using Facebook more and more. Facebook is so much easier to use and I can post links from other sites to it really easy, unlike with mySpace. So I’ve been hanging out over there. If you’re on facebook (or even myspace), look me up.

Jesse has also gotten me to sign up for LinkIn. It’s a professional connections social network. I’m still really new on it, so if you’re on it, let’s connect.

I don’t think I’ve mentioned it here yet, but Jesse bought us an account with Flickr so we can use their bandwidth for viewing all of our pictures. As such, I’m currently uploading a ton of photos to the site as our connection lets me. I have all of the pictures from 2006 and 2008 up there, but I haven’t had a chance to add any other ones yet. Draccus seems to be a little stabler right now (still not perfect, but what do you expect), so I might start uploading again tonight. The one thing I’m really liking about flickr is it allows others to leave comments for individual photos and that’s really nice. I love seeing what people have to say about my photos since I tend to be a little camera happy. Especially with Ian.

I think that’s about all that’s been going on lately. Nothing really exciting, just a lot of work on the house. I’ll post about the house a little later this afternoon since we have done some changes.
