My adventures with SharpReader continue. First off, my sister has created a LiveJournal feed out of my own site's RSS(Rich Site Summary) feed. It almost looks like I have an LJ(LiveJournal) account and everything. I've added a few more feeds of interest, and now I feel like I'm in control of a huge flow of information. It's nearly overwhelming, it's so huge. I sort of feel like Joey Pants in The Matrix, "I don't even see the code anymore; all I see now is blonde, brunette, redhead..." The auto-refresh goes off every 1/2 hour, the little systray icon goes yellow, and I have new items to look through. It's sort of like TiVo for the 'Net.

I've also been trying, over the last few days, to bring some of my music collection into work. It's a decent amount of work; running through existing mp3 folders with Tag&Rename, making sure the folder/file names are short enough to fit on a cd, and getting them burned and in. (As an aside, my next car stereo head unit will definitely have to be able to play burned mp3s.) I also downloaded and (ahem) _liberated_ a copy of Forte Agent newsreader, so I could start plucking "backup" copies of tunes from A.B.S.M.*.

I see Mark Pilgrim has released his site's MT(Movable Type) templates. Some of them definitely look worth copying, especially the one for the full-page calendar.

I would also like to state why my new job rocks so far:

* I don't have to do timesheets. * I don't even have a phone on my desk (well, it's not really a desk, it's a door balanced on two low filing cabinets). Keeps the interruptions way, way down when people can't call you and disturb you. Heck, I didn't even get my email set up until about a week after I started.
