You won’t hear a peep out of me

Maybe a tweet though. I finally bit the bullet and signed up for a twitter account. Maybe if I don’t have to write a full paragraph and linkify everything, make thumbnail images, etc, it’ll get me posting to something more often. I made a little custom bit for “Tweets” (posts to Twitter).

Mainly writing this post to see how they integrate with other blog postings.

EDIT (8/2/08): So that didn’t last long. I was tweeting way more than I ever blogged, and a page full of tweets just doesn’t look that good. So I’ve dis-integrated the tweets from the blog, for now you’ll see ~5 at a time in my sidebar.

Quick Rave and Rant

Rave: I got the job! I’m in a transition period between the 2 jobs right now, as my old boss asked for 2 weeks notice, and my new boss wants me to get ramped up-to speed before the current webmaster leaves.

I’m the new webmaster for the UO School of Journalism and Communication (SOJC).
w00tage!

Rant: So the Sony PSP plays little discs called Universal Media Discs. What the hell is universal about it? SRSLY. Hey Sony, universal means it should work across a multitude of platforms across brands and such.

A little excitement

I know I wrote on Monday about apathy consuming me. A bit of excitement has canceled that out the last day or so. When I was in Vegas for the Western Region Waterski meeting, I noticed an e-mail regarding a “student web-programming job”. That particular weekend was very busy and hectic, so I didn’t reply at the time, and it took me a few days to fully recover before the next weekend vacation. And, well, I just got around to inquiring about it yesterday afternoon.

Long story short, they asked me at 11:30pm last night to come in for an interview today at 10:30am. I also know they’ve been looking through my website, so I won’t say anything more.

*fingers crossed*
