a pretend post
Let’s just pretend that this entry in my blog is actually several different entries that I’ve been meaning to write. I’m just going to summarize what these non-posted entries would have been (and since I started work on some, but never actually posted them), maybe they’ll just show up one day.
Non-Post 1) More griping and some random-ness about XML. This post was going to show how to do some XSL transformations to make an XML doc do all sorts of nifty stuff. It was going to be well written and link to several different sites where I found out how to do whatever it was I was trying to do. (This entry would have served to show how techno-savvy and cool I was, and boost my own ego, while adding more clutter to the Interweb about XML/XSL).
Non-Post 2) Talking about how I went crazy and ran all kinds of wires through our condo while our bathroom renovation had much of the walls and ceiling removed. I ran tons of CAT6 (high-speed network cable) and lots of UL-Approved 4-gauge Speaker wire - in order to complete my insanely cool, whole-house-audio/video linux-based mythtv and iTunes system using volume controls, auto-switching local amplifiers, in-ceiling and in-wall speakers, and a projector on the wall. (once again would have provided some links and more boosting to the old ego — don’t worry I’ll be posting more about this system soon).
Non-Post 3) All about my new Linux Laptop. I just acquired an ….
…. IBM Thinkpad T30 and proceed to install (my fav distro) Fedora Core 3 and in general, juice this baby up to provide a sweet little web-dev environment for my newest project. I have tons of links to various sites and people for getting things like ACPI setup, wireless Internet, and cool little extras. (this would have been a good post).
Non-Post 4) Complete Random updates on how my life’s been. Mother’s Day was great (Love you Mom!), my Grandad’s birthday was last Friday (he’s a regular Internet Stud, you can find him on MSN Game Zone playing Bridge, but sorry ladies, he is already quite smitten with a certain lady). We thought Jameson got Kennel Cough from Puppy-Day-Care (you can laugh, but it is the best thing ever - she loves it too). The bathroom/closet renovation is taking forever, but going to be awesome. Jodi is going to New York this weekend for the ICFF and I wish I was too! Everything is peachy!
Phew. That was easy.
