Back Out on the Market

Posted by jetblack on September 25th, 2007

After a very frustrating day at work, I have decided to look for another job. If anyone out there can help me out, I’d appreciate it.

Thanks.

I was getting pretty fed up with fanfiction.net; mostly because they’ve been using their TOS for their own nefarious means, including the ability to take what you write and use it however they wish. So, I went looking for some LAMP setup where I could house my stuff and not pay them to host it for me (I know it’s free, but I actually gave them money for a few years’ hosting).

It took most of the night, but I found it and I installed it, and I’m pretty happy with it. So much so, that I’m offering my fellow writing friends the opportunity to house their stuff (if they have no desire to publish professionally, or they write fanfic only).

Head over to http://fiction.hopestation.net and register. Make sure you validate your registration with the email it sends out. Oh, and if there’s a category missing, please let me know and I’ll put it in there for you.

Weight Loss…

Posted by jetblack on September 10th, 2007

First:

Second, I have decided to not drive in to work (except Sundays and holidays) and take the bus. I have to walk to the bus stop, which is about 10 minutes from the apartment, and then another 10 minutes from the stop at work to my building. So, round trip forces me walking 40 minutes a day, plus maybe 5 minutes of walking around between the buildings per day, depending on where my meetings and classes are.

What I’m looking to do is drop at least 25 pounds in the next six months, which I feel is a doable goal. I’m not looking to lose a whole mess of weight overnight; I know this is going to take a little time and effort. But I think the decision to use public transit is a step in the right direction.
