New Stuff!

I decided to get ambitious this morning and I went through and added some cool stuff to the site. First, I’ve got a new contact form you can use to send me a message. I’m not really expecting much to come of it, but hey, it’s there. Thanks to One Woman Show for the plugin.

Next, you’ll notice there’s a section in the sidebar showing recent comments and trackbacks. This one is also kind of useless because no one actually leaves comments, but maybe that will change one day. Thanks to Krischan Jodies for this one.

The last and probably coolest change is that I’m now able to use Lightbox to display (some) photos. To see it in action, try clicking on one of the thumbnails in a post below.

Edit: I almost forgot – a little while back I fixed my flickr integration so you should be able to see all of that again at /photos/. (I lied – some combination of FAlbum and/or flickr is being a pain in the ass.) Eventually I’d like to put a button on my nifty toolbar up there, but since this is a part of my latest theme, I have to figure out how to hack it first. Also, this doesn’t use Lightbox; I’m not sure how complicated that will be.

Edit 2: I also wrote a few posts over the last year that I never posted for whatever reason. Their now sprinkled around in the archive on the appropriate dates, mostly from our honeymoon last February.

LAS

For some silly reason we’re at the airport way earlier than necessary. Luckily McCarran has free WiFi so it’s not a total loss. For the trip, we ended up coming out about even once we found a $5 BlackJack table at Casino Royale to make up for the money we lost at ten dollar tables elsewhere. I’m ready for a nap.

Some day…

I will do something new with this site. I promise. In the meantime, I’m working way too much, enjoying five games and virtual console goodness on Wii, and trying not to suck at bowling (the real kind, not the Wii Sports variety). Softball is coming.

What a Mess

Our apartment that is. We’ve finally got everything into the new apartment. We thought we were done yesterday, but then we realized we left our bikes over there. Well we brought them over an hour or two ago, so we’re officially done. We check out tomorrow at 5:30. Now if we can just finish putting everything in its place…

Whoops

I did something kinda silly the other day. We’re in the middle of moving over to our new apartment, so I started calling around and changing our address. I went online for our credit card and changed the address there. The next day, I bought a brand new computer and charged it to the credit card.

If you think that sent up a red flag with Citi Bank, you would be right. They apparently put a hold on our account, and called me to confirm the charges. Luckily the turn around was so fast, I never even noticed the hold. They confirmed my new address and the purchase of the computer came from me, and everything was back to normal. It’s nice to know they have these kinds of safeguards in place.

Hmm…I installed Firefox on the new iMac. So far so good, but I just realized that [Home] and [End] don’t seem to do anything in text boxes. That’s gonna be annoying…

Help Me

I am surrounded by stupid people. Almost every single question I’ve been asked in the last 24 hours has been ridiculous. I feel like someone went around to the people I deal with on a daily basis and beat them over the head with a stupid stick.
