I’ve been devoting the past several nights to coding up that news site I mentioned in my previous entry. It’s nearly done, and I think it looks pretty good :)… I’m in the process of finding somewhere to host it. I guess it’ll go live sometime next week. Problem is, I’ve been neglecting my usual work. Ras was noticeably annoyed today during our weekly meeting. Oh well.<\/p>\n
In the meanwhile, I’m going to Vegas this weekend! Should be awesome. Never been there before, and I figure I can’t get a much better introduction than with some of my best high school friends. I’ll let you know if I survive.<\/p>\n
Joel invited Matt and me to go rock climbing last Friday at a climbing gym. It was really awesome — I’d never climbed very seriously before, and I found out just how exhausting — and exhilarating — it could be. And I found out that I have more natural talent for climbing than I do for, say, basketball. Okay, that’s not saying much, but it felt good to be good at something right off the bat, as I’m normally a relatively slow learner.<\/p>\n
After that was Vivek’s goodbye party, and then ultimate on Saturday and a viewing of the first Harry Potter movie. with Jenny and Melinda. About as good as the first book (which is to say, only decent)… but then again I think I’ve been spoiled by the later books, which are much better. <\/p>\n
Oh yeah, the most important bit: the new site needs a name<\/i>. (That emphasis was added so you entry-skimmers would take notice.) Due to lack of any creativity, its working name is SplagNews, but I get the feeling that maybe the whole ‘Splag’ thing is a bit played out. Maybe not? I’ve also considered the catchier ‘Splinks’. But I’m just bad at coming up with names — any suggestions? I figure if it’s gonna have any respectability, it’s gotta have a good name :).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
