EZLO so far has been using a fastcgi backend, with lightty up front. However, this hasn’t been the best of worlds, since the dispatch.fcgi processes would die at a certain time in the morning, and I couldn’t figure out how why or how to find out how (I got as far as trying to parse through the process accounting). I just got fed up and decided to ditch fastcgi and run a full-fledged http server as a backend.

I have an Ott lite, if you haven’t already guessed: I actually have two Ott lite bulbs, and one ott lite stand. Mostly people would go buy another Ott-lite stand, but me being the ornery cranky old person that I am, I decided to hack up my own stand to save on money, since I managed to bungle my paycheck and I’m not gonna have money for a while now.

As noted before, Ze Local Awesome-blowing-stuff-up club, of which I’m the Benevolent Dictator for Life, has created the initial iteration of a coilgun. Behold!
I can already hear the complaints about the lack of video of the thing actually firing, but I have an excuse: our benevolent email-writer for life, managed to kill a vital component while trying to make a would-be version 0.2 (this also explains why nothing is connected to anything else).

So, following this helpful little guide on wp themes written by the dude with the scary, drawn on moustache (as of 2009/10), I’ve hacked up a quick little theme, which I may or may not wrap up and upload. If you’re reading this before I upload the next one, then you’re… staring at it. It’s very spartan, but it works, as in everything is there. Well, almost everything: I want to add some actual links to the navigation bar, and a way to comment, before I call it version 0.

So, I woke up at 12:12 today.
Which is bad, to say in the least. It speaks of my slovenliness, the sort of behavior which I want to avoid (sleeping 10 hours is too much. It might have been enough when I was younger, but I think, despite the fact that my development hasn’t dropped to neglible levels, that I’m pretty stable physiologically). Waking up late is only one of many lifestyle component that I’m not happy with, including:

So, I’ve just done what I always seem to end up doing every few fortnights or so, which is to tear through a science fiction novel as quickly as possible. I know it doesn’t do justice to a classic, but I seem to have a thing with picking up books and having to finish them. This behavior doesn’t extend anywhere else… erm, except for tearing through webcomics. Maybe it’s just a story related thing; I start a story, and I need to finish it to maintain mental continuity in the easiest way possible by never popping out of it.
