Or should that be gettin’ ’round to thinkin’ ’bout things?

Eh. So what I’m thinking is that rather than trying to maintain all these pages and craziness, I can scale down the site to what would essentially be three blogs: rants, movies and books.

Those really round out my interests, and I can incorporate stuff from LibraryThing for the books page, Netflix for the movies page (I can hook it up with an RSS feed to my selections/ratings) and the rest would be my regular daily stuff.

I would redesign it all; a clean new philosophy requires a clean new look. I’ve got more friggin’ books than I can read at once about CSS and web design and whatnot… so I should put that info to USE a bit more.

So… that’s what I’m thinking. It might be a nice way to spend a long weekend since I have ample vacation time and not much of a way to spend it. Maybe a nice weekend in May since I want to do this sooner rather than later. Admittedly, I have some freelance web design work to complete first… but I am waiting for CDs full of images without which I cannot proceed.

Oh! My new computer arrived. It’s sitting on my floor with a newly purchased DVI/VGA adapter in a bag on top of it. It’s all slim and sleek and nicely loaded. I have to wait until my brother has some time to help me set it up, though. Why? Well, I’m a little skittish about making sure that I’ve backed up all the necessary files from current computer to the network beforehand (and he can show me how to mirror the hard drive onto the server, I think - yes, I could look it up and teach myself, but if he shows me, I’ll pick it up more quickly), then I need to install XP over Vista (since we ordered after Dell started offering XP as an alternative to Vista - and now they’ll be offering Ubuntu - wah wah??) and get everything back up and running. Again, not hard - but I want to be sure that my *thinking* I know how to do this doesn’t result in effing things up when I learn that I don’t *really* know how about 30 minutes into the process. That would suck. Grandly.

OK. I’m supposed to hang out with my friend tonight and he texted me over an hour ago to say he was leaving work (which is about 25 minutes away); however, I haven’t heard anything from him since then. I’m hoping that he didn’t stop home to eat since I’ve been holding off on eating dinner since yesterday’s email indicated that food acquisition might be part of hanging out tonight.

Well, this is perfect down-time to use for folding laundry.
