Mmmmphgh. Not much this (early) morning, just quick.

Image for HS Prom, theme is Hawaiian Sunset (not my decision, don't ask), etc. etc.

Colored with the Gimp, an open-source (really wish it was) photoshop clone. Turned out all right for a first try. 🙂

So, yeah, not much has happened in this space recently. I apologize to those who would really like to read it regularily (hi grandma!). Most of the problem is that, since we got DSL, I'm using Linux almost exclusively for my Web browsing. Mozilla doesn't support Blogger. Yet. If ever. Gah. Thank you ever so much, Microsoft, for making Internet Explorer the "this site best viewed with…" browser to end all "this site best viewed with…" browsers.

Anyhow, I'm posting this from Dordt College's library because I have a little time before I play pep band at the high school's basketball game and I'm bored. I'm also going to school here part-time — taking English 101, plus the rest of my HS courses — so I have student privleges on the computers here. I've got four college-level courses, counting the Dordt class, so I'm keeping busy, plus my extra-curriculars.

Linky…
MegaTokyo, online manga
Errant Story, online fantasy comic
FreeBSD, my new Web server (when I get around to setting it up) and a use for Grandpa's Alpha!

Alright, i know it's my first post in a while, but it's gonna have to be short.

This is what is currently eating up my "social life" such as it is… (stop laughing! I do have a social life! REALLY! 😉

Back from Briar Cliff — the new All-State music is all right, but I won't be renaming my blog anytime soon. 🙂

Our main computer's hard drive went AWOL (it was an "off brand" drive… gah). That's why I have some more links I'm going to review some time in the near future:

ibiblio.org — formerly sunsite.

Buzz — a computer music studio deal for Windows I may use to cobble together an accompaniment track for same All-State music.

My dad is watching an old B&W movie and it's late, so I'll sign off with one last link — Wired says that the Des Moines Area Community College's West Des Moines campus is going paperless. No more books, no more teacher's dirty looks? 😉

Since Google isn't indexing the website of Lutheran Lakeside, the camp of which I'm rather fond, I thought I'd do my patriotic duty and link to it here. (I'm not linked to either, for that matter, but at least I can hope!)

Yes, as you may have noticed, I'm updating more frequently now. Don't know why, just feel like it. 🙂 La
