Bye Bye PCS

24 May 2004 has passed. Is my mobile phone number now portable? Sprint's, Nextel's, and AT&T's web sites say so. Hallelujah.

Bye bye PCS.

Phone and provider recommendations welcome.

Distraction

I just realized that I haven't read Penny Arcade for quite some time. In fact, I haven't read it since 17 April 2004. Hrm, coincidence?

I have some catching up to do. I normally read every news post, as Tycho's wit comprises at least half of the PA humor value for me, but it'll have to be just the comics until I have a bit more free time.

LNK ORD ATL

I'll be in Georgia next week for a few days on business. Specifically Duluth, but it's not far from Atlanta so I plan to screw around in the evenings in the Big Town. The only destination I have planned so far is Underground Atlanta. If you know the city and have some other must-see locations, speak up. Invitations from ATL-area geeks who want to meet up are also more than welcome.

Dash of Colour

Color Colour Color! The new stylesheet is courtesy of Movable Style; many thanks Scotty.

I have not yet imported the tweaks I made to the previous stylesheet into this new one, so if you see something that doesn't look quite right, that's probably why. Please bring it to my attention if you notice such a problem.

(Looks like my 24-hour time-format hacks are still present. Woo!)

[It has been brought to my attention that Internet Explorer, in its continuing trend of behaving in a manner reminiscent of hemorrhoidal pain, may choose to not automatically load the new stylesheet from the server. If you are not seeing a gray background and you're using that poor excuse for a web browser, hold your CTRL key while either clicking the refresh button or pressing F5.]

Firsts

Theme inspired by some song I was listening to off of Maroon 5's Songs About Jane album...forget what song...tired...time to go home...good album...
A conservative is a man who believes that nothing should be done for the first time.
                -- Alfred E. Wiggam

Anxiety, n.:
        The first time you can't do it a second time.
Panic, n.:
        The second time you can't do it the first time.

"First things first -- but not necessarily in that order"

If at first you don't succeed, try, try again. Then quit. No use being a damn fool about it.
                -- W.C. Fields

If today is the first day of the rest of your life, what the hell was yesterday?

The trouble with doing something right the first time is that nobody appreciates how difficult it was.

Experience is the worst teacher.  It always gives the test first and the instruction afterward.

Who's on first?
