Right now, I’m testing a new tool I just downloaded called blogBuddy. I’ve decided not to be biased by the name and actually give it a chance. :)
The cool part about this is, if it works, that means that the XML-RPC interface is properly installed. I’m not entirely sure what that means either, but I ~do~ know that it means there’s a chance I can figure out some nice tools for updating my weblog via my PDA, and so forth, and so on.
In other news, I sign up for my last semester of classes tomorrow morning. After this semester, I have five credits left before I graduate. Five stinkin’ credits. Wow. :) I plan to take a total of twelve or thirteen, I think. I have one required class left, which will probably be fairly tough. Then, I’m retaking two classes I did poorly in (to help boost my GPA). That leaves one class left, which I’m thinking will be some fun little Psych class or something. And then maybe Badmitton. Cause, hey… I’m a Senior, damnit.
In other other news, remember that phone, the LG VX6000, I whined about wanting a couple of weeks back? My friend Justin has one now. He’s not my friend anymore. Though he did let me play with it at the party we went to Saturday night, so that’s cool. He let me take pictures with it and everything. The GUI is totally counter-intuitive but very pretty, so it’s a little give and take. I still want one.
Yano, after I’ve typed this much, I really hope my XML-RPC thinger works. If not, I’ll probably copy and paste all this text into Movable Type with a big long preamble bitching about my host’s poor support of Perl modules. The funniest part is, I just sent them an email asking if I could get some help installing some of these modules. Then and only then, I decided to test to see if any of them worked already. :)

Oh, yeah. Those are new. The astericks mean that the page has been updated recently (and has pinged one of the trackers of such information).
I don’t know if Livejournal has pinging available or not. If not, you can do it manually at:
http://newhome.weblogs.com/pingSiteForm or
http://www.blogrolling.com/ping.phtml
Blogrolling used to check weblogs.com as well as their own pinger, but I’m not sure if they do it anymore.

Here are my thoughts on taking badminton: I took it spring of my junior year. My college got smacked by a tornado. Causality? Take your own risks.
