A New Domain

Posted on Sunday, April 24, 2005Sunday, April 24, 2005

A while ago I was “talking”:http://joeyday.com/2005/02/09/too-many-websites about a new domain name I was excited about acquiring. Little did I know the process would take as long as it did. Apparently, expired domains don’t become publicly available until 75 days after the stated expiration date.

Fortunately, the domain did quietly expire, and, after so much waiting, I’m excited to announce that I have secured the rights to it. You may have already guessed: joeyday.net is now officially mine.

Since I don’t want to start a third blog (can you imagine?), I’ve decided to keep the new site all to myself. I’ve had a locked-down wiki installed here for some time now, and I’ve already moved it to its new location. From time to time I may host a few public pages there, but it will be used primarily for personal notes, uploads, and other private articles.

I’m quite pleased to finally own a completed trifecta of domain names. I can’t help but feel like everyone’s favorite video game hero after beating level 8 and collecting the third and final piece of some kind of talisman of power. Or maybe I’m just mentally unbalanced. Time will tell, I suppose.

43 Things

Posted on Monday, April 18, 2005Sunday, April 24, 2005

I think I’m officially addicted to memes.

I just found this great site called 43 Things. It’s another of those social sites like del.icio.us and Flickr. At 43 Things you list your long- and short-term goals and then track your own progress. You can also find other people who are working toward the same goals and enlist or offer help.

A while back I started compiling a list of 100 life goals. Last night I copied some things from that list onto 43 Things. Some of my goals are fanciful, but many are serious things I’d like to acheive.

Now to find a place to display “my 43 Things list”:http://www.43things.com/people/view/joeyday here on my blog…

Janene’s Blog

Posted on Tuesday, March 29, 2005Tuesday, March 29, 2005

I installed a copy of WordPress on my wife’s website a couple weeks ago. Since then she’s been thinking a lot about what she wants to blog about. I don’t think she’s arrived at any conclusions, yet, but at least she got the ball rolling today.

Please give a warm blogosphere welcome to my lovely wife over at “Janene’s Blog”:http://www.janeneday.com.

P.S. She isn’t a big fan of Homestar Runner (gasp!), so if you could keep the HR inside jokes to a minimum, she would probably appreciate it. Thanks.

Wedding Pics

Posted on Sunday, March 6, 2005Sunday, March 6, 2005

Just a quick post to announce that the “wedding pictures”:http://www.flickr.com/photos/joeyday/sets/149656/ are up. Enjoy!

Flickr

Posted on Thursday, March 3, 2005Wednesday, March 16, 2005

Well, I’ve gone and joined the internet craze that is Flickr. Feel free to snoop through “my photos”:http://www.flickr.com/photos/joeyday/. So far I’ve uploaded the same ones that are available at “janeneday.com”:http://www.janeneday.com, but in time I’ll be uploading actual wedding pictures. I’ve had at least one request and I intend not to dissappoint.

I’ve also installed a WordPress extension called “Flickit”:http://chancecube.com/flickit/. It allows me to post my Flickr images to my blog, like the one to the left.

Anyone else using Flickr out there? I’d love to see your photos, too. Post a link in the comments below.

Too Many Websites

Posted on Wednesday, February 9, 2005Wednesday, March 23, 2005

When I was in high school I thought it was really cool to collect email addresses. It started with “net@ddress”:http://www.netaddress.com, which, to my knowledge, was one of the first to offer free email. My dad discovered it and quickly signed my whole family up with free accounts.

I’ve been thinking for a long time about how nice it would be to have my own private wiki for notetaking and general thought collection. I’d want to be able to access it offline (for taking notes in classes where I don’t have a wireless connection) and I wouldn’t want anyone besides me to have access. I’ve used a few freeware note programs — some even patterned after wikis — but none of them compare remotely to MediaWiki[1].

And May I Just Say…

Beautiful Day

Posted on Saturday, January 1, 2005Wednesday, January 12, 2005

I’m writing this post early in the morning on December 31, 2004. If I’ve set the timestamp correctly, it shouldn’t appear on the site until just as I’m saying “I do.” I’m quite positive, though at this moment I can only imagine, that I’ll be having the best day of my life.

Janene, I’m so glad we’ve come to this wonderful point in our lives and in our relationship. I’ve had so much fun being your sweetheart for the last three and a half years. It’s hard to imagine things going up from here, but I have no doubt they will. We’ve only scratched the surface of what lies ahead. I’m so excited to experience my life together with you.

Congratulations Mrs. Day. No offense to any of my relatives, but you’re the most beautiful Day I’ve ever known. Welcome to the family. I love you!

A Word of Relief

Posted on Wednesday, December 22, 2004Wednesday, December 22, 2004

A few days ago, I blogged the following:

bq.. A Word of Advice

Don’t lose your wallet. Ugh.

p. Yes, I was speaking from personal experience. On Thursday, December 9, I lost my wallet. Actually, it’s quite a bit more than just a wallet. It’s a small “zippered folio”:http://shopping.franklincovey.com/shopping/catalog/product2.jsp?navAction=push&navCount=3&id=prod114 (mine is actually blue, but the line has been discontinued and this is the only picture I can find online) that contains, in addition to my driver’s license and credit cards, my “palmOne Tungsten E”:http://palmone.com/us/products/handhelds/tungsten-e/.
