Half Way There

I think this counts as half way through the semester. There have been way to many things due this week, and I just barely finished them all yesterday. Finally I have a little bit of time to actually just do nothing, or blog, which is close to doing nothing.

I did find out that I am listed under google, just type in ~amp76 and it will show up a ways down, but they don't have it cached or anything. On another google note, I was reading a press release from google, and I found out they just acquired keyhole. It's a pretty sweet program for exploring the world, I'm still playing with it as we speak. I guess that shows you how much free time I have.

Google Backstabbing

I feel betrayed, after all my excitement about being on google, now I can't find a reference to the site anywhere, not even with specific phrases from the site. I've heard of this happening, but I can't figure out why this site. Anyway, I guess I'll have to actually put content specific pages up in order to keep the listing.

Fellow Pink Piggers

I didn't know there were so many other people out there interested in pink pigs. After seeing all the traffic come through, I felt I needed to explain a little about where the name for this site comes from. In the future, there will be a link through the navigation above to all my pig pages.

I don't remember when I received my first pig, but I must have been hooked soon after. I have somewhere around 20-40 different pigs. They range from stuffed animals, collectible's and my favorite bath toys! Someday I will have all their picture up in a gallery specifically for them.

My favorite pig is Wally, one of the aforementioned bath toys. He came to me as a birthday present from my oldest sister while I was still in high school. I don't know why, but I ended up taking him with me everywhere I went. He was actually part of a threesome, but Quietus, and Hoek only came along occasionally. Wally was quite popular with the girls, and that may have contributed to him being brought along all the time.

Anyway, if after reading this you feel scared and think I'm a little psycho, that's fine, just don't think any less of the piggies.

Google Listing

I'm on Google!!! I was just reading up on some material on how to optimize for search engines, and I realized I hadn't checked in a while, so I typed in "Japanese Pink Pigs" and there I am, number 1. I didn't expect anything like this to happen for some time. Yea!

New Material

Whenever I think about blogging, I always think about what I am going to write. Generally this ends up being something that has happened recently (see previous entries). I don't think this is particularly bad, but then again it is probably particularly boring to anybody but me. So the dilemma arises, what to write about? Yesterday it hit me. As I was installing a NES emulator on my Samsung i700 I realized that I had a lot of useless information that might actually be interesting.

This revelation has given me hope about actually being able to build a site that somebody might actually want to visit. A slim hope mind you, but you never know. Soon you might actually see some of the navigation above taking effect, but it is going to be slow going for a while until school lets up a bit.

Note:
The i700 info above is from pdaphonehome.com, and if your interested in a pda/phone combo it is the definitive source for information.

Two months already

Whenever anyone's asks me how old Ryuki is, I keep on saying a month and a half, even though two weeks have passed since then. I don't know why exactly, but it's as if my brain freezes Ryuki at whatever age he is at and can only remember that age even though it still recognizes the passing of weeks. Now I think I've got down that his is two months old, but I'll probably tell everyone that until he's four months old.

BYU had a good game Sat. I was surprised to see then actually running the ball instead going for 50 yd bombs every other play. It was a little tense at the end, but when Colorado State tried to go for it on 4th and 8 and missed, it was pretty much all over. It was nice to see them win especially after the one point loss last week.

I've changed the navigation above to more accurately reflect what will someday be there, but as you've probably noticed, it doesn't connect to anything yet. I've got to work out a PHP template to write all my pages on, and I may just store them all in a MySQL database to prove to myself that I can, though I've heard that that doesn't go too well with the search engines, but like I'm listed anyway.
