All the hipsters showed up in Austin and their iPhone 3G onslaught made the AT&T 3G network kinda sorry. They’re going to add capacity so you can TwitterBookSpaceFlickr some more.
Fact is, I was in Austin not long ago, a solo pseudo-hipster with only one iPhone 3G, and the AT&T 3G network was already kinda sorry. I’ll be back in a few days for the real music experience, and I hope AT&T leaves all the trailers and duct tape and hamsters running on exercise wheels in place so I can reap the benefits.
It’s a shame that Steve has been in Austin for two SXSW happenings and I haven’t insisted that we go. I definitely think it would be a lot of fun. It’s obviously an educational experience.

I have my own not-yet-catalogued list of “Words it is NOT ok to ever say.”
The first one that springs to mind immediately: “proggie” (meaning “software program”.)
I’m lucky enough to be old and cranky enough not to hang out with them young whippersnappers who no doubt use this word all the time, but I swear it makes me want to spit nails.

Since moving to WordPress, it looks like I have totally new thing going here, and boy howdy, the world sure does need another barely used WordPress install sitting around.
I’ve had a blog or something like it running here since the end of 2000. I wrote 285 entries between then and November 2008. That was a previous life, as far as I’m concerned, so I’m not very interested in scraping together anything to bulk import those stories into WordPress.
However, it’s possible that there are a few news items from days of yore which I’d like to rise from the ashes. If and when that happens, I’ll use that shiny Category feature to mark them accordingly.
I used to really enjoy writing here.

Well, that was easy. Even the manual process is a breeze if you’re a user with whom Unix is friends.
I guess I should think about writing things here.

All that partying got the best of her…

This is WordPress, and say what you will about sprawling out of control PHP, it’s worlds better than the homespun sprawling out of control PHP that I started this site with in 2001. I like it.
I’m still trying to decide what to do with styling and how to integrate other non-WordPress bits that I want to keep and grow, but this is a start.
Update: and I can write things from muh iPhone!
