One of my classmates in 525 – Managing Internet Information observed on the blog he had to set-up for a class assignment that his “initial impression of Blogging was that most contributors suffer from Blogorrhea. That is, an inability to control the output.” I admit that I suffer from a case of that disease. But […]
Got the list of peer mentor assignments today and I'm going to be paired with first-termer Kathleen Crowley. I've got to say anybody who names their blog “Princess Cosine, The Cunning Linguist” is cool with me! (Maybe she'll change it to “Princess Collocation, The Depth-Indexing Librarian.” But that doesn't have the same ring to […]
Looking at that calendar on the left side, I realise that I've never done an entry on a Friday since starting this blog a month and a half ago. I conceivably have from 12am on Thursday night/Friday morning to 12am on Friday night/Saturday morning to do one and have it listed as a Friday entry. […]
Ignore that last post. I had to put a link to Technorati to “claim” my blog. Why'd I do that? I got my first comments today from my old (former, dammit!) co-worker who was searching Technorati to see who linked to her and my first entry in this blog came up. Obviously, I have a […]
I've been using Last FM to track the songs I listen to since sometime before Christmas and was very glad to see that they also provide an RSS feed of “Songs That You've Recently Listened To” among other options. After a bit of messing around, I was able to add the feed to the right […]

Now that I've figured out what time zone I'm in (I think my first entry was timemarked as the default Pacific time zone and that last one, I thought I was in “Central” (because I'm in Central Canada right?) when in fact, I'm in “Eastern”. That's what I get from coming from a province that […]
Some random thoughts… Things I Want To Set-up/Figure Out In This Blog: – it already appears to have most of the things I wanted my blog to have by default – comments, tags, RSS feed, so I just have to play around with each of these things a bit to make sure I like how […]
Well, I've finally gotten on the “blog-wagon”… Because I'm from a small Saskatchewan town, I have a theory that I get into anything trendy about 3-5 years after everybody else does. It was true when I got a Colecovision game console in 1985, three years after the rest of the world did. It was true […]
