There Is No Number 7

posted by Jonathan at 11:58 PM

A few brief programming notes:

1. I am working on a design for the site (rather than a default Blogger template), I hope it will be ready by monday. The design will allow me to have some peripheral content, such as links to my friends' sites and some other non-trip related items. I have mad photoshop skillz.

2. As I mentioned, I hope the new design will be ready by monday, but I am notoriously bad at time estimates, as well as self motivation.

3. The design will probably feature some Google ads. Sorry, but I have no other income currently ;)

4. I am not going to update every day. I'm hoping to update 5 times a week, but there may be weeks when there are only 2 updates, maybe even less. Frankly, these things take forever to write, particularly futzing with the photos and links, though I hope that as I get more practice, they will be faster. Also, when I write, I don't always have an access point, so sometimes the articles actually may be posted the day after the writing.

5. I haven't yet figured out the best way to present the photos, hoping to figure that out as soon as the design is done.

6. San Dimas High School Football Rules! 1 point if you get this. Difficulty: easy. Leave it in the comments.

8. I have some articles that are in the draft stage now that are from earlier in the year, which I am going to pre date when I post them, so they show up chronologically in the archive. When I do that, I'll also link to them in a new post.

9. I don't think I've ever written anything brief in my life, belying my program notes heading above.

    Whoa, check it out. My blogger account is still active, three years after I stopped using it. Awesome.

    Didn't realize you were already on the road. Then again, it doesn't come as surprise; I thought you would have started sooner, in fact.

    Does that mean there's not gonna be annual college drinkfest this summer? I think we had one last year a week after the 4th of July. Since there's been no chatter about it, clearly it won't happen in a couple weeks. Perhaps after you're done touring the country or something.

    What did you end up settling with for a GPS? The nerd in me needs to know. :)

    Ok, this comment is turning more into a journal entry, so I think I'll shut up now. :p

    You know, I was actually in San Dimas a month ago when I visited CA. It was excellent!

    San Dimas? Excellent!

    Good luck on the Road Trip...sadly, the Shim Sham no longer graces New Orleans with its presence, but I'm sure, should you make it to New Orleans, that you'll find other ways to occupy yourself.
