Just a test, to see that my blog is now…

So I haven’t really played with HTML in a long time, so what I thought would be a simple task of moving the Blog Archive stuff from the right side of this page to the left side (under the main link buttons, where they are now) became a mega long timewaster. I got to play with Dreamweaver again, and yes it was a pain in the butt. I think it looks better now. I have approximately 600 or 630 pixels (I think) across of actual blog text, meaning that I can also put wider/bigger pictures in blog entries. Hope everyone’s break is going good (if you’re on break). Comments are low; holla if you’re there.

I’m thinking about re-designing my page over break, but I probably won’t because I’m really busy (haha oops Seth). But seriously, I was bored yesterday and went to Borders, where I read a book on Dreamweaver for about 2 hours. I’m a nerd, and a cheap nerd at that. At least I bought a coffee so they can’t say I didn’t give them any business.

A real quick change that I can do in like 5 min if people think it would be good: should I move the Blog Archive and button stuff (on the right of the text) to the left column, thus adding more space in the main area (where the blog text and pictures go?). I don’t know why I didn’t do this initially (well, I do, it was just being lazy with my template), but it would give me more space for blog stuff. If you loyal readers (both of you) think I should do it, or think I shouldn’t, then comment here and I’ll follow the vote at the end of the week.

Funny note: I was at CompUSA yesterday and saw an old couple (about 65 or 70?) who both had the exact same hair doo. It was a badly dyed brown fro. I took a pic with my camera phone, so if it turned out OK I will post it here fo sho.

Also: tomorrow I’m teaching (lecturing) to my old high school video teacher’s class in the morning. I haven’t talked to high school kids like this since Japan, so it’s time to become Great Teacher Anthony (GTA) again! 夜露死苦～！

I’m back at home in St. Louis now. I never wrote about Thanksgiving break I don’t think since the page was down, but I had a really good time here. I think winter break is going to be the same way. Plus, it will be nice to actually get to relax for a few weeks. I’ll be doing some various IUSTV things (mainly writing policies, etc), but it won’t be like usual. I’m on BREAK! This is going to be awesome.

I’m going to try and hang out with friends from town and high school over break also, which I think will naturally happen. Also want to play a lot of video games and watch a lot of TV and movies. I’ll naturally be posting reports of that, bahaha. Oh, and I’ll be turning 22 this weekend, which is kind of a scary thought. It’s also the 2-year anniversary of me having a website (RIP aleong.com).

I AM BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

but too lazy to write or do much more tonight. more soon.

Just a real quick update, even though no one is going to be able to read this for another week or so. ENOM.com, some domain registrar, has officially stolen my domain name, aleong.com. I forgot to renew it (or something), and they yanked it up the moment they could. They expected me to pay $160 + $29.95 to get it back. Yeah right. So sometime in the next few days, I will be starting a new domain name. I don’t know what it will be yet.

I still should probably write something about Thanksgiving, then one about my trip to Minneapolis and Target Corp. last weekend. For now, I just got home from 2 classes, and I’m getting ready to crash and nap hard. I didn’t sleep at all last night, getting the office ready for the ribbon cutting ceremony. Things weren’t exactly as we had planned, but it was great either way. Everyone today realized that IUSTV rules. So yeah, I was pretty much dead, but the adrenaline kept me going. Until class at 1. I had to present our Altoids project, so I was somewhat awake for that, but otherwise I was a zombie.

Sleep time now. I’ll have the website back up sometime soon, when you will be able to read this!
