Not probably going to work October 27, 2005

Well, I definitely don’t like the lack of customization. I would hate for any of my writing to contribute to these higher eye-strain sites on the net… nothing personal, and not to say that bright sites are evil and wrong. I just would frown on myself for doing it. My desktop is already bright enough as it is. Bah… I just need to juggle more. That’s all. Oh well… sometime later I’ll figure out how to get wordpress to delete this. I hope… hrm…

 

Edit: Yeah… so I was being too critical. I only just found out how incredibly hard at work wordpress actually is. I’d like to apologize to WordPress and the developer team. They’re doing a lot for bloggers, now that I look at what’s currently (and loosely) on the todo list. 

 

My review of flock thus far October 25, 2005

Well then… seems like it’s about time I give my preliminary assessment. Although that sounds official, it pretty much is worth dirt. Still, I give it anyways, because you can always scrape a few gems out if you look carefully.


So, Flock hit me almost instantly as a great answer to people feel like web browsing is too far away from the masses… from communication. People could either chat on the net or browse the net. Now you get a sort of conglomerate… you can easily share bookmarks and blog and flickr as a default. “This is nothing new.” So you say. I’d agree, but the difference is in how it’s packaged and presented so easily… so readily accessible. It’s a powerful combo and for them to do all the hard work to get it together is very nice. There’s lots to add, but that’s nothing too difficult when you think about how much is already in Flock.

Time to try this out… October 25, 2005

Well, I’m a little unhappy that this system doesn’t seem to support a lot of a theme editing (I prefer my sites to be darker and easier on the eyes)… but oh well. Could be worse. If I don’t like it, I can always just ask them wordpress to delete this account. We’ll see.

So, as for other goings about, I need to double check that I can’t change the theme here, then I’ll do some web design (more on that later), then I get to take an exam for my vector calculus class.

Afterwards, I guess later tonight I’ll finish up even more work work work. I guess once I get used to this web blogging I’ll be able to make better posts, but for now, I’m a goin’!

 

Hello and welcome! October 25, 2005

I’ll try to get this all in running order as soon as possible. Please forgive my dust. This page will NOT look like an average blog if I can help it (my doubts are still present, but oh well).
