Wow, tomorrow is Blank Slate’s two-year anniversary. It’s come a long way from the first version (see the About Blank Slate page for some truly horrific screenshots). I decided that the current journal entry style didn’t fit at all with the rest of the site, so I changed it. (It used to be a blue monstrosity.) This new one fits in perfectly, I think. I really like it. It’s very nice to be able to change a stylesheet and watch the changes propagate throughout the rest of the site.

Changed the look of the music listings and the gallery to fit in with the journal entries. Very nice now. I like it a lot.

I installed Vim and Cygwin on my Windows box at work today. I love having Vim on Windows. Cygwin’s pretty cool, too. Much nicer than the clunky command prompt (the lag is unbelievable). It’s a Win2k box, by the way. I can’t stand Windows. Linux is much, much better, at least for me. I’d never go back.

I watched the Two Towers trailer today. Wow. Too bad I’ll be gone in Thailand. But it’ll be available on DVD when I get back. I need to go see Fellowship again before I leave…

The CodeWeavers Crossover plugin is pretty cool, by the way. That’s how I watched the Two Towers trailer without rebooting into Windows. (The trailer’s encoded in the Sorenson Quicktime codec.)
