there we go, made a new favicon for my site. i especially like how it looks when pulled on the desktop.

sitting around at the fg² office, i’ve had a chance to get some work done. i finally added an href to the names i’ve had to make it easier for direct links, at least for the archives. links to the front page anchors of course, are still only good for 7 days max. it’s pretty impossible to write my own logic to fix the problem because of the way that the postids work in blogger.

now, here’s a question for any readers who might be apache gurus: what’s the best way forward people who are reaching this page through my server to send them to my randomfoo.net virtual host? the only thing i’m think of right now is writing a little php switch, but there is probably an apache directive i can use, right? any suggestions? please send me an email.

looks like blogger is starting to get really overloaded. yesterday it was running out of memory, and today it’s running out of storage space…

ev posted on his web application panel at pc forum. too bad there wasn’t something like that at sxsw.

i’ve been looking at some new weblogs recently. mostly based on coolness of titles. for example, there’s burning chrome (incidentally the name of one of my ftp servers; wintermute is my computer’s name). there are some cool sunset pictures on his site too. the solipsist’s blog is a cool title as well. love the quote:

“Solipsist.net – games for you, and only you!*”

*And anyone you can imagine.

solipsism is hilarious.

well, i stopped by the sxsw interactive wrapup party, my only sxsw party that i ended up going to actually (frog party had a line a mile long, so we said screw it to that). it was at the twist, supposedly a really nice club. it was pretty lame in there, though. no dj, no room to dance, and the food was being cleaned up as me and my friends got in. blech.

i introduced myself to jason, but honestly, that and listening in the weblog panel was really weird because i don’t really know any of the weblog people, and i’m not very good or motivated and making introductions or anything like of that. the conference was semi-interesting, although today’s panels weren’t very informative. i’ll need some time to cogitate on everything. still have some work to do, so i’ll probly be getting to some of that soon.

i should mention i was totally disappointed w/ the web development for tomorrow’s browsers panel, almost as disappointed as i was w/ taylor’s online narrative panel. thoughts and notes should be up soon on this site.

sxsw today was pretty interesting. 2 out of 3 on panels again. i’ll probably have more motivation to put up my thoughts sometime later. i met cam finally today, and that was cool, however in general, i must say that unfortunately i haven’t really met and talked to anyone, webloggers or otherwise. been having fun though, and have tons of notes.

posting from austin right now. our connecting flight in st. louis got delayed a coupla hours, so we got in real late yesterday, but it was all good. staying w/ one of my friend’s friends who works for fg². i’ll probly be posting more later, but right now i’m going to eat, and then frog design’s party).

can this be verhoeven’s return to making kick ass movies? the hollow man trailer is pretty awesome.

mission impossible answers the age old question: what happens to old movie websites? they litter the internet landscape until the sequel, of course.

the new trailer is up at the apple quicktime trailer showcase. plenty of wooisms, should be fun to watch. the dialogue seems very hokey though, not at all in the same vein as the semi-seriousness of the original movie (which i liked).

<brainfart>the funny thing is that all the right moves (1983) was playing today on the fox movie channel. pretty crappy movie, caught a few minutes of it (and the silly ending), but interesting seeing the contrast between cruise then and now. according to the imdb tom cruise is only an inch taller than me, at 5’7″. oh, back to all the movie… lea thompson (bttf fame) was also in it, and she had a nude scene. she used to be really hot. hell, she’s like 40 now and she’s still looking pretty good.</brainfart>

hmm, neet, blogger gets a facelift and stuff. will have to check it out some more after i finish packing. sxsw bound.
