Booklog

Running with Scissors by Augusten Burroughs
My mother is standing in front of the bathroom mirror smelling polished and ready; like Jean Nate, Dippity Do and the waxy sweetness of lipstick.

East of Eden by John Steinbeck
The Salinas Valley is in Northern California.

The Straw Men by Michael Marshall
Palmerston is not a big town, nor one that can convincingly be said to be at the top of its game.

Vineland by Thomas Pynchon
Later than usual one summer morning in 1984, Zoyd Wheeler drifted awake in sunlight through a creeping fig that hung in the window, with a squadron of blue jays stomping around on the roof.

Collected Fictions by Jorge Luis Borges
In 1517, Fray Bartolomé de las Casas, feeling great pity for the Indians who grew worn and lean in the drudging infernos of the Antillean gold mines, proposed to Emperor Charles V that Negroes be brought to the isles of the Caribbean, so that they might grow worn and lean in the drudging infernos of the Antillean gold mines.

Spring Cleaning

The recent paucity of posts is due in part to preoccupation with a few site updates, including a clean-up of the code and the addition of some new features; the other part is pure laziness. Go forth and find new features!

Report any bugs or strange behavior to me. [1]

Away

I'll be in Mexico for the remainder of the week. (Solicitations for post cards, tequila, cabana boys, or blow can be forwarded with a working address using the contact links).

New Webhost

I switched webhosts yesterday, a move that will have been butter-smooth if you're reading this entry (on the other hand, my email seems to be on the blitz -- please resend later if you've tried contacting me). Setting up my own was a bust. I remembered why I stopped hosting my own pages after a bit of research, frustration, and incompetence from my ISP. Too affordable to pass up, PHP Webhosting trumped LiquidWeb's reliability and efficiency with it's monthly ten-dollar fee and a high recommendation from a friend. Here's to a new start.

Absence

I am taking a vacation this weekend to visit my friend, the sun. He's been lonely in the southern hemisphere this year and beckoned me yesterday with seventy-degree weather and a cheerful invitation to come join him near the Carribean. I happily obliged.

In my absence, please read through my recommended site list where I've bookmarked those who've cheered me up, brought me to the ground, and otherwise influenced or affected me in monumental ways. Now is a great time. They are writing about important things, things that hurt them, things that need to be said, and things in which they rejoice. They are putting it here for you to witness. They are writing to save their lives.

Where I've Been the Past Year

I've finally finished entering all of last year's archives in the database, so full Chrisonomicon back-issues should be available via the "Archive" link in the main menu. If I get a chance, I'm thinking about posting a few BoyLOG entries, simply so I have everything in one place.

New. Improved.

We can rebuild him. We have the technology. We can make him better than he was. Better, stronger, faster.
--Dr. Rudy Wells, The Six-Million Dollar Man

The better part of the back- and front-ends of this site are now complete. If you click on the links in the main menu, you will notice a few of the pages have yet to be fleshed out. I will post updates under this category — "Site Maintenance", indicated by the hammer and wrench) — in the coming weeks as they are added, and feel free to contact me with any questions or suggestions as this site will be an ever-evolving process. Thanks for bearing with me while I found my way through this forest of new technology.
