The wife is gone for a week. Off to a business conference for work and all that.

I suppose I am supposed to be super productive while she is gone. We will see if that kicks in tomorrow maybe.

I spent today with the wife, looking for couches, taking her out to dinner, watching a movie. I recommend everyone to, every now and then, take a whole day out and spend time with someone you care about.

The new blog! 533 Comments March 29

Yet again I have another blog and all my permalinks break and google cries a little.

I installed chyrp (easy install, wonderful UI) and it's cool and all, but it's not a long term solution for me.

Chyrp stores all the posts as xml in a text field, so importing all of my old posts from my simplelog database won't be easy. I was able to import all of my tumblr posts, so that is what you are seeing on the site. I already wasted enough time setting up yet another blogging software for my personal site.

I won't be happy until I make my own blog app anyway, but I figure I can work on the front end with this chyrp install while I make my own merb powered blog in my spare time. Yeah, all the spare time I have.

Just wanted to let you know what not to do…

Don’t make a symlink to /usr as /opt and then install macports. Macports will think that the /opt (which is really /usr) is where it should install all of it’s port crap. I mean it pollutes it. Well, not as bad as git, but it’s not good to just have all that crap lying around. Either way, I gotta fix this mess now.

Man.

Update

Also, don’t rename /usr to /old_usr

Because if you try something like: sudo mv /usr /old_usr; sudo mv /new_usr /usr it will say sudo command not found for the second command.

You won’t even be able to shutdown.

My wife posted about my Grandfather.

Pretty soon I will write about the birds.
