babiegoose.com

ok... so the conversion process was easier than I thought...

I'm pretty much going to leave dev.babiegoose.com as it is, but all of the content has been moved to this site so there is no need to even go there.

I will probably use archive.babiegoose.com in the future... but for now, I'm going to keep it simple.

so voila!

now to just find the right pictures to throw around...

for those of you who are interested... the archives of babiegoose.com will be located (comments and all), however temporarily, at dev.babiegoose.com I am planning on moving them here eventually, but please - baby steps.

baby steps recovers all of the old entries...

baby steps creates a temporary blog...

baby steps converts the recovered entries...

baby steps imports the entries...

there is only so much I can do at a time.

... ... ...

oh... so it's quite possible that I won't move the old entries here... I might move them to archive.babiegoose.com - once that is set up. It all depends on how the conversion scripts from MT to nucleus work...

... ... ...

but it still hurts...

so... as of this moment, I have no good way to port my previous content to this cms. I have a few ideas, but none which I would like to pursue at the moment.

given the number of entries between the blogspot and movable type, I will probably be able to manually reinput the entries over the next 6 months or so... but then I would lose all of the comments. and because that will probably not be acceptable, my alternative is to have an archive babiegoose website... probably archive.babiegoose.com or something uninspired as that.

Also, I need to make a link/credit page, since the skin I am using is a modified version of c3ro silence by Armon and the fact that I am using Nucleus CMS... (I hope that covers my creative common liscense obligations for now...

Oh. that information is at the bottom.

I'm going to change that once I have my links/credit page.

in any case, I was trying to put a pitcure of

the two of us

in the banner... there was this cool picture of an angle-lady doing whole silence thing with the finger over the mouth and the"shh", but I didn't know her so I thought a picture of lorie would be good... I don't have any picture on my laptop or online that I would like to use, so I guess I have to wait until I get to my house to find something cool.

oh... I just thought of one... [this is a reminder for me - on the cover of proofs]

well... I'm going to get back to work... I just felt like wasting a little time.

babiegoose is back...

and nothing's gonna come between us again...

so here it is...

I think lorie makes the page much prettier.

she is totally prettier than me, so I figured I'd stick her in the banner.

now I have to figure out how to customize the rest of this skin/template/whatever...

I have to do it...

on my own...

Something is still terribly wrong with my blog, but I have not the time to switch over to something else... at least for now...

Again, I hardcode the entry using my trusty Notepad, because I feel like blogging about something, anything, because at any random moment I could possibly explode from boredom, insanity, anxiety, annoyance, incredulity, or stress.

the funny thing is, stress is probably the least of my problems, as although I feel pressure, there isn't very much stress here... where I am at this moment. Things move a lot slower here, and so do the people... which isn't bad. it's just different from what I am accustomed. I'm not sure if it is indicative of the rest of the different branches or different levels, but it seems they spend a bit too much money of security, and not enough where it is needed... but maybe it is where it is needed. who knows. (the shadow knows)... in any case, on top of the change of pace... the people are, um, more limited in their world view... not to say that I'm the embodiment of ambassadorship, but I've been around... and there is a thing I'd like to call 'tact' that I rather miss.

Yesterday was all saints day... (never ever have I ever felt so low) I forgot to church... (When you gonna take me out of this black hole) I think the severity of this is compounded by the fact that I was at work until 7:30PM, though as usual (Never ever have I ever felt so sad) by the way, I'm thinking St. Peter is my patron saint... something to do with a feeling I had and then reinforced by the fact that his primary feast day is on my birthday... (I'll keep searching deep within my soul for all the answers, don't wanna hurt no more)

I am going to eventually switch my cms, but I need to have a more consistent internet connection at my apt... it seems that I have been unwittingly stealing my internet connection from neighbors because there isn't a community or apartment wide wireless connection as I thought, and the housing team lied to me when they said I had an internet connection... the bastards... that and I cannot fathom having to use dial-up again...

By the way - brisk ice tea and white chocolate on an empty stomach... not recommended for a long car ride - and if you have to go... PLEASE, GO AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!

there is an exorbitant amount of candy around the office... I've been eating a lot of it... a lot of chocolate, a lot of taffy, a lot a lot a lot... I'll just get fat, it's the one vice left when you're dead meat... (there that's her. Maureen? Mimi! I should go, and it's beginning to snow!)

babiegoose [still] out until this thing gets switched...
