I was planning on posting my notes on Gnomedex, but looking over them now that I’m home and without the crutch of context, I realize that my note-taking ability leaves something to be desired. Therefore, you’re going to be spared my notes. If you’re legitimately curious as to which speaker said what (whether you missed the speech, or are just trying to freshen the memory), check out Beth Goza’s (AKA Beth G from Microsoft’s) blog. It looks as though she was blogging during the speeches, so her notes are more accurate than mine would have been regardless.

So! I guess I’m just about done boring all you non-techies with posts about Gnomedex. The point is, I loved it, I saw and met a lot of people I would have otherwise spent the rest of my life not seeing (but wishing I had), and there are already plans in the making (so I hear) for a Gnomedex 4.0. Let’s hope I’m still in the state next September, eh? Or, at least, that my schedule is as flexible as it was this year.

I’m still in the mood to try new skins, so if any of you have any thematical suggestions, I’d be tickled a pretty shade of pink to hear them. Usually, when I’m designing for my website, I sit down, play with images until I find something I like, and then repeat that same step until I’ve got a sufficiently large layer of clutter to call a skin. Maybe working from a thematical standpoint wouldn’t be such a bad idea. :)

Before I get a chance to forget again:

Happy Birthday, M’ris!

M’ris turned 25 on July 26, meaning the two coolest geeks I know celebrated a birthday that day. :) If you’re not using today as one of your birthday days, M’ris, feel free to save the greeting above until a day you ~are~ using as such. And if you e-mail me your snail-mail address, you’ll likely get an honest-to-goodness birthday card out of the deal, because I seem to have misplaced your address again. :)

I’m feeling far more productive today than I probably have been. Lorenzo and I spent all morning rewiring the computer lab upstairs, and we did a damn fine job, if I do say so myself. And I do. :) Anyway, it’s time to relax by doing something less productive. Reading blogs and scanning stock photo websites for thematical ideas sounds just about right.
