Le Sigh
One of the higher-ups around here left a six page, three hundred item list of names on my desk detailing who in the building has had their Lotus upgraded (<20 people) and who has not (the rest). This list chills me, sitting quietly at my left hand and yet exerting inordinate and terrible power over my life and its foreseeable future. I intend to approach my superior, foul artifact in hand, and ask him, with my teeth bared and shoulders high, “Really?”
I have some great ideas for the blog that just aren’t materializing due to a lack of time. I haven’t produced a comic for some weeks, because the prolonged set of uninterrupted time needed to put one together hasn’t been available. When I have got the chance, I’m going to be putting all my comics on a separate WordPress page so that they’re centralized and easy to read (the pages are the tabs beneath my banner up top). I mostly want to experiment with the format to see how it looks, but I also like the idea of keeping my potentially incriminating less serious pursuits separate from my writing. Not that I intend to make my written words any less damning more somber, but the two are significantly delineated in my mind, so I’d like to simplify their presentation instead of making one big mess of all my work.
I’m working with some folks to make the About page worthwhile, that should be worth a laugh within the week.
I’ve also got just a fantastic post drafted about books, so there’s that. It is in progress. Don’t look at me like that. Quit it!
245 Lotus upgrades to go. Sigh.
Out and About
Yet more bustle in the workplace, with precious little down time to make significant updates. I’ve engaged in something of a comment duel with my associate Gavin, who is an engineer. I should have told him that Google offers Gcal to Outlook synchronization: if these two fierce competitors can get along, can’t we, too?
I’m unplugging for the next three days to romp around in the wilderness with my closest friends. No internet, no blogging.
Pray for my survival.
WTF
I’m not exactly raking in the page views at this point, this blog is still something of a glorified practice arena for yours truly and his closest friends. The stats page that WordPress maintains for me still fascinates me, especially the keyword referrals – the terms which people are punching into search engines and winding up at my site through.
Nothing all that special, really. But today’s referrals fill me with strange and terrible joy:
Search/Views
intelligence comics 2
large words 1
tyrannosaurus rex 1
subtle six 1
And yesterday’s:
Search/Views
jalapeno salmonella 2
tyrannosaurus rex 2
my bloody valentine 1
things that happened on july 22 1
financial panther 1
I am in hysterics over the fact that people have been repeatedly redirected to my blog upon searching for Tyrannosaurus Rex. I didn’t even fucking write that before right now! Fantastic!
