In which I’m very nearly on the road again.

I’ve repacked the jeep with the heavy things forward, so it actually has a little bit of play in the suspension now. I’ve held out a half dozen boxes to be shipped so I can see out the windows. I’ve even Windexed all the windows and they’re so clean I can’t tell if they’re open or closed. The remaining 960 miles of my journey should be much more comfortable. I’ll leave on Thursday or Friday, depending on when my iPod cable arrives from Fairfield.

I didn’t watch any more DVDs yesterday, but I did apply a new template to this site. I did so because my main machine’s display is a mere 1024×768 these days, and the other layout looked squished at this resolution. Plus: it’s autumn! Plus: now that I have a laptop, I have Fireworks MX installed and can start making image files for the first time in more than a year!

I found some old Fireworks files on CDs in my warez folder. Remember this art, from way back in ’02?:

Once, back when I still hand-coded everything, back before I used a CMS to manage content, the entire site was orange. I love orange. I also love glassy buttons.

I feel a full redesign coming on soon.

    Nice! I’m wanting to go to autumn colors, but I’m waiting until I get a good leaves picture to put in the header image.

    Hmm. Wish I gave a good goddamn how my site looked. Maybe I would if I actually *posted* on a regular basis. Anyway, Mush, I’m writing to request photos of the wild west as you travel ever onward. Ever see the movie “Dead Man”? (If someone reading this has not, I duly urge you to rent it/buy it/put it at the top of your Netflix que) Such a gorgeous film… I’m looking for Mush to show, in a similar manner, changes the further west you go. Yes, I know it won’t be wilder and wilder… well, maybe in different ways. ( ;

    My mom loved that movie too. I watched it ’cause Mr Depp was in it but didn’t think it there was any actual content for all the allusions to some. Of course I will take and post pics for you, dear. -m
