I changed the style sheet associated with the moveable type blog. The other was a bit hard on the eyes, and this seems to be a bit nicer. The only problem with this one is that the stuff on the right doesn't work well if there aren't a lot of posts to handle the content over there.

Well it has happened. I've seen the job I would really like to do. The whole reason I got into computer programming was because of the games and the fun I had as a kid with games on the computer. I used to get the source code for games in magazines, and then I'd type in the code from the game, just so I could learn how to program the games. Anyway...this would just be a cool job.

I was listening to the radio today and heard about a book called Summerland. Looks like a good book, and sounds fun. I'll have to check it out.
