new guts, and literately tagged
I spent a little time tonight doing a behind-the-scenes update of the WordPress software that runs this site. You won’t see any difference, but the admin stuff is really nice. I’ve essentially been using this software for something like 5 years, since it was the original b2 incarnation. I had some major gripes about the software losing serious style points when it branched off to become WordPress (when the original author moved on to other interests), but the current crew has more than redeemed themselves with (IMHO) the best of the blog programs around. It’s really a pleasure to use, and i know just enough about php to really know how much work they’ve put into this. Nice stuff.
Anyway… browsing through some links i’d missed, i found this from Scott:
“Pick up your nearest book and go to page 123. Find the fifth sentence, and post on your blog the next three sentences. Acknowledge who tagged you, and then tag five more people.”
alrighty then:
“He is confused by the nod yes and the answer no and so repeats the statement. Again comes the nod meaning yes and the answer no. That is the end of the fragment, but like the wall it’s one he thinks about many times.”
Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, Robert M. Persig
This is a book i’ve been reading off and on through the spring, after giving up my attempt to get through Ulysses this past winter. It’s the first time i’ve read it, and i like it a lot, both on the story level and on the philosophic level. I’ve been stalled at about 2/3 the way through simply for lack of reading time over the last month. It’s just been too tempting to get outside and do stuff once the weather got nice.
