LiveJournal Crossposting

by Matthew Smith · February 28th, 2006 · No Comments

Dear readers: For your benefit, I have reconfigured WordPress to crosspost to my LiveJournal. I rarely use LJ (what’s the point when you have your very OWN blog?), but some of my friends like it as LiveJournal enables them to keep track of others. Therefore, I will let my posts be mirrored on LJ and you can see them there. For those of you wondering, this is accomplished by the livejournal-crossposter plugin for WordPress.

Today marks my own personal “hell day.” It seems that everything is due today - test corrections, homework problems, and a nice long feasibility report. To make matters worse, I put everything off until yesterday.

Photo Gallery to Return

by Matthew Smith · February 25th, 2006 · No Comments

Once upon a time, back before the great crash of digivation, there existed a photo gallery of sorts. Well, I am pleased to announce that I am currently working on a new photogallery to bring the gift of occipital candy back to digivation. I am also going to re-enable cross-posting to my (unused) LiveJournal, for all you who want to keep track of me that way. Stay tuned!

The Feeling of Weariness

by Matthew Smith · February 21st, 2006 · No Comments

I have been going, going, going, going. No stopping, just repetitive going. I got to sleep a tad late last night and have been tired all day - after a grueling hour-long leg workout and three mile run, I just never quite bounced back. Therefore, I am going to finish a prelab for tomorrow and [...]

It has come to my attention that you can now watch the commercials from Super bowl XL on IFILM! This just might be something handy to keep you busy for the next fifteen minutes or so. You can even download to play on your iPod. GO! [src]

The Wonders of Sleeping

by Matthew Smith · February 20th, 2006 · No Comments

According to those who study these things, the average adult needs seven to eight hours of sleep per day. As of late I have started to agree. Over the past few weeks I have been averaging closer to five or six hours of sleep per day (and occasionally less). Combined with the increased amount of physical activity that I choose to engage in (I am currently running 20 miles a week and lifting weights for a one and a half hours a day), I was becoming tired and boring.

by Matthew Smith · February 16th, 2006 · No Comments
