Somehow, I've been putting off updating for over half a month.

Not that there's really much to talk about. I either worked, or went to Chris's house. o.O (Though before that once, Alison and I did end up going to the mall, eating at Bennigans with Billy, then going with Kevin, Brice and David to a Roy Rogers near springfield that I didn't know about...) We did finally beat Secret of Mana, though I ended up doing it myself while Chris and Alison watched. Also played a lot of Resident Evil/Biohazard 4... I'm on the fence about getting it when it comes out on PS2. Played a bit of DOAX too, even though the game has camera issues and oversimplifies the controls to make up for it. I didn't even have to touch the sticks, just hit buttons at the right times. >.>

Seeing Alison again was nice too :3

Of course, this week has been a bit different, since none of my plans involved snow. My arms are still aching from the speed-shoveling job I did Wednesday night.

But, what brought me back to doing this (instead of sleeping, which I haven't done much of yet) was seeing a new initiative to add "nofollow" tags to links, so that comment spams won't influence PageRank, and thus remove their primary reason of existence. If you run Movable Type, grab the plugin (it works in MT 2.661 as well as MT3). All you do is add two files to your MT directory, and you're done. This has already been done here, after a particularly vicious round of despamming. (Luckily, 287 of about 340 spams came from one site, so it didn't take -too- long.)

People may have noticed that I've been updating my LJ a lot more often. While having to despam every time I log into MT is one reason why, it's also because I use LJ for more random, disassociated posts, while using this site as a journal. The difference in content between the two should be clear.

I'm finally signed up for class next semester, though it's a lighter load than I wanted, mostly because I have to figure out what classes I'm really supposed to be taking in order to transfer. I found out a bit late that UMBC had changed around their entire Information Systems program, so all the references I had been using to determine my courseload were outdated. >.> So, I have to actually get someone at UMBC to work out what I actually need to take from this point. The good part being, I might not need to take Accounting and Economics anymore...

And I think I'm going to get more sleep rather than try to fill more space in what must be a very disorganized read.
