Oh my. It's kinda silly that I don't even feel any loyalty to anything in DC anymore. It's like the days are just going to bleed by in a blurry countdown until I get to that sunny increasingly unrealistic paradise that will probably be host to the next phase of my life. I'm such an idealist.

Florida has had my brain for a while now, a few years have passed and I've pretty much pussed out on ever actually picking my ass up and transplanting my life there. I think I might do it. Really.

I'm such a loser. I don't need a weblog. I never kept a diary, why would I use a weblog? The truth is, I like having a project like Flip. It keeps me occupied. It works, but there's always stuff to tinker with. I get a kick out of building it and making it come to life.

I was perousing some of the other weblogs out there. Not many support flatfiles, which is kinda neat. It makes Flip unique. Of course, there is one really super advanced flatfile weblog called Easy Base System, but I can't really find any mention of it anymore. Still, Flip doesn't have the professional feel that some of the other, more developed weblogs do. I happen to think Flip is more attractive, but it's not as "pro" feeling. I might rip off some of the Slash-esque feel.

So, Which I know is lame, but I do it. It's a clean, healthy habit - and as long as I stay away from Star Trek, the X Files, and Mountain Dew: Code Red, I should be okay. Alas...

The Phish shows in Hampton are over. New Years is over. My finger is probably broken, but at a minimum, hurts like hell, I'm sick and generally feel like poo, and my car is bashed up and I don't know why. Plus, work sucks!

I'm having a crappy day, can you tell? I'm going to go home and watch TV and get hammered off of Hycodan cough syrup.

In the meantime, Hampton friggin ruled. So much fun. God, I missed Phish.

I spent a good portion of this weekend working on this stupid weblog. This is how it works: I write tons of code, make it work, and then burn out and don't think about it for a few weeks. Lather, rinse, repeat.

The cool part of this is that this is now a working implementation of Flip 2, which is pretty cool. The only thing I have left to do is fix the theming to use a theme-specific stylesheet and it's done. Then I take a break from this shite for a while.

I'm moving to Florida. It's official. Well, kinda. I mean, I made up my mind. It's gonna happen at some point. And truthfully, I can't wait. DC is bumming me out.

At least I have LASIK to look forward to. Sigh...

Well, it should be clear by now that this weblog is dead and gone. However, I've decided to resurrect it as a sarcastic diary. Because I spent so much time building "Flip," I didn't spend much time on my actual use of it. This site is now using "Flip 2," and it's the first time I've actually used it. It works, too, except the edit function on the admin page, but I'll get to that. I left a few people who actually posted on this thing with rights. Feel free to post. If you don't have an ID, go ahead and use the "Submit an Item" link on the left and if I like what you write, I'll post it. There are some cool new features. For one, lots of new categories, which you can see by clicking "Topics" on the navigation menu. Also, as you may have noticed, the front page will only display part of you post if you ramble on for too long, as I have. Kinda neat, huh? Anyway, I'm not going to pontificate about this on here, if you're interested, you can monitor all this crap at http://flipsource.org. If not, happy reading.

I finally rolled a new version of Flip tonight, my first time doing any code in weeks. I was very productive, too - I fixed about 4 naggin bugs, and finally figured out why Flip didn't work on all servers. I expect to RELEASE version 1.0 by the end of the week. I even have a beta tester ready to go!

Items coming up in Flip 2: theming, more customizability, scalability issues, and security. Fun.

I was sick the last few days, but last night I still went out to help celebrate the completion of the LSATs by my friend K. The night got crazy, the six of us got too drunk too early and were all over Adam's Morgan.

On a plus note, I think I may finally get to wear my tux again. More on that as the time approaches.
