a note about commenting

Saturday, March 29th, 2008

Just so anyone who’s starting to wander around knows how commenting is set up here, I’m gonna lay it out for you:

  • You must be registered in order to comment, it’s an easy process, but it cuts down on spam (a lot) and keeps people from saying mean things while hiding behind the guise of anonymity.   By all means feel free to say mean things if you disagree with me, but this way at least I’ll know who doesn’t like me. :)
  • Your -first- comment must be approved before it’ll show up.  This is another spam fighting technique that allows me to cut spammers off at the pass.  All this means for you is that after you leave your first comment it won’t show up until I give it the go-ahead.
  • After the first comment you’ll be able to comment as much as you want and it will show up right away!

I hope that registering won’t be a problem for anyone, but really I think that even if nothing else this is a good way to keep things organized.  So, that said, go comment!

blog is back

Thursday, March 27th, 2008

So I decided to give blogging another shot after a year (or has it been longer) off.  I figure that since I’m getting close to graduating (either 1 month or 3, depending on how well I finish the semester) it wouldn’t be a bad idea to have this up for those of my friends who are curious about what I’m doing after college.  It’ll probably be a little less personal then it was before, but that comes with the territory of growing up and trying to find a ‘career’ job.

So yeah, ironically I guess I dont have much to say right at the moment.  But I will be around now posting up both what’s going on in my life and I’m sure random soapboxing, since I’m usually annoyed about some bit of stupidity. :)
