I bit the bullet last night to buy a domain and also get myself some private hosting for the time being. I am with Dreamhost, so I can spiff anyone who wants a domain and site package with discount codes.
It's been a bit rocky so far with Dreamhost, but their staff is rather helpful.
I plan on uprooting and transferring my entries from here to the new domain possibly tonight.
The new blog will have a fresh face and be powered by Wordpress... it will mainly be personal with maybe some affiliate links to generate a little bit of revenue to "self-maintain" the site.
The purpose of this endeavor is the following
- Establish a professional presence on the web
- Allow for my friends who do not wish to become members of blog communities to comment on my work
- Possibly expand the blog into a fusion of personal and professional entries
- Keep myself "conscious" and writing, especially with things like a fitness blog or rants
I would be surprised if this leads to something different, but I won't hold my breath. I would love to do freelance writing for a journal or paper at some point, so we shall see.
Thanks for those who have me on RSS and have pointed and prodded me with plenty of ideas and suggestions.
I have had a terrible week, this week and basically lost my inspiration to fight. What I assumed was well and good was only to be thrown in shambles. I am confused how to proceed but limitations on my fate constrain me to darkness. I will probably take a "meditation" from my works here to focus on rebuilding myself... When I return, I hope to write more about some more Linux musings and maybe some funny rants.
Merry Christmas to you readers out there... and may you have a better season that I am having.
The last question I leave is... "Where's my GameCube and shit?"

Last night, a dear friend died... The details are not disclosed with respect to her family. Her name was Kate and I can say she was a wonderful person. She had a critical eye for detail and a splendid artist. Her heart was unsurpassed in the greatness of care in her art. She died at only 21 years old... Deprived of the many joys that she may not have gotten to experience. To say she never got a fair chance in life would be an understatement. I loved seeing her at her studio working just painting her art, that was a joy to see her just forming a picture that was incomparably great. Her smile was something that no one could even capture. She was a revolutionary for her time, but I wish she had more time to blossom and really evolve as an artist.
Kate, may your soul reach heaven and touch the stars. I pray you will find eternal happiness in a higher state of life... You will be missed in my heart and even more so to those who loved you most. God bless and may you rest in peace.
