I’ve read people’s wildly ebullient reviews of it, and of version control in general. Version control seems like it’s still a good idea, but SVN is a horribly buggy implementation of it.

Now I’m less apologetic.

Had it posted as a random filename on xzion.net, but decided I’d go ahead and post it here. It may really suck, but I think it’s kind of neat.

They lift us up when we’re at our darkest hour, to bang on an old cliché, and they make the hopeless situation of our existence seem bearable.

And then there’s me.

My mother and I were in a store and they had some new-fangled device that could supplant the heart’s function inside the body, and was powered by some micronuclear reactor. Well, being as how it was imminent that I was about to drop dead at any moment, we called up an old neighbor who happened to be a doctor, and she did the operation to put that thing in.

Lately I’ve been feeling pretty decent; obviously my Poison Ivy episode is over and done with. But I’m not really talking physically. I’ve just been in a decent mood this week, compared to last week which seemed to drag into eternity. I attribute this to a few factors:

I know Eric is not, and I feel as he feels that it’s quite foolish, most of the time. I think that magical thinking can tend to cloud my judgement.

It now serves as a point for all Malkieri to post entries. This site’s original incarnation was just that. This site also publishes all blog content from ericw.org, as kind of a short cut so that I don’t have to double post everything.

We’ll see how it goes.

I mean very slowly. It’d probably be imperceptible, but I’m blogging about it and thus the situation exists (this is my personal take on Descartes).

I started off last week feeling not too shabby. No colds really, just the occasional realization that I’ll be going bald in the not too distant future (I’m looking at you, male ancestors). That’s relatively painless though, except for the laughs I get whenever I try to hit on hot chicks in a Rogaine commercial. Those cut deep.

Then, The Shed™ happened.

This blog will be a stupid “I had a sandwich today” type blog and it’s going to be long so just sit down and shut up.

It’s still a work in progress. I’ll hopefully be adding other things to it in the near future.

Also, as a reminder, all of the pictures etc. I’ve ever mentioned in blog posts since the beginning of my site have been kept at this location. It’s interesting to browse through sometimes.

So, Eric has told me I should blog. After severely beating me with a rake for over three hours, he finally got me to acquiesce to his demands, and here I am typing away. I didn’t concede the high ground, as you may have noticed, since I refused to make another blogging site on the internet just for no one to read my ramblings. I kind of consider it like electronic smart growth. We’re running out of domains worth having here, people. No one cares about your stupid cat pictures on http://www.mycatfluffy.com/ .

So, at some point I’ll probably blog some more than this, but I’m at work and should probably be doing work-related things.
