Lauren’s brother gave me a call last night and said that his friend had tickets to a Houston Aero’s game, center ice. I’m not one to turn down hockey, especially when the seats rock, so off we went. The game wasn’t half bad, the Aeros won 2-0 against a rather pitiful team from San Antonio. When I think of San Antonio, hockey isn’t exactly the first thing to pop into my mind. Then again, the same could be said about Houston. At least it was fun. And with the NHL sesson in the shitter, it’s about all I’ve got. This is actually my 3rd Aero’s game this year and they’ll be more to come. Chris’ friend Jake gets tickets weekly and we’re going back on the 14th. So, huzzah to my brother in law for hooking us up with some hockey. Apparently it was Chris’ first hockey game too. By the end he was yelling “hit the bastard” along with the rest of us. He’ll be a fan in no time.
Hockey, the greatest sport on earth.
Oh, and extra thanks to Jake and his camera phone for the pictures!

Just a quick test of w.bloggar. Apparently the new version works with TypePad and WordPress now. We’ll see.

I’m going to give Chris the benefit of the doubt here and not only allow comments but allow anyone to make them. I’ll see how Spam Karma does. As of this weekend, journal.php will no longer be a valid link, so update your bookmarks. I’m going to be poking at this template a bit and seeing what I can come up with. I was unsatisfied with the hack I found to embed login fuctions within the comment pages (hense the lack of it) as well as a few things here and there. The title of this page in 10pt bold Courier is also ticking my off. That’ll be changed shortly.
Chris has also mentioned that having pull down menus for my archives is some sort of technological achievement, so I think they’ll stick around for a while. I kind of like them.
Also, this theme is apparently made of only three graphics. I was amazed when I started to fiddle with it. Good ol’ CSS, surprising me again. Let me run this idea past you guys: same layout, but a white content section with a darker background to the sides and a blue-ish neon glow coming from underneith (where the gray gradiant is now). I dunno, it was an idea. I doubt it will happen.
Ok, so, test her out, comment away. Tomorrow I’m going to move this to /blog/ and create a splash page, main page and a few other stray content pages. After that I’ll tidy up some of the CSS to my liking.
Oh, and if Chris could point me in the direction of a journal posting program (like Zempt or z.bloggar for MT) it would be greatly appreciated. 😛
Matt out.

You may or may not realize this, depending on how you have my site bookmarked, but I’m mid-process of switching to Word Press. Point your browser back to www.docholoday.com and see what I mean. There’s still a few issues to work out. Namely this whole “page vs. post” thing, the fact that I can’t figure out how to make my journal be anything other than index.php (like journal.php for example) and also the fact that each post is simply docholoday.com/?1 or whatever the post # happens to be. That’s a little weird to me. I can’t see to find any formatting options for achives, singles pages and that sort of general setup info. Maybe Chris can point me in the right direction. Oh, and for the moment I’m using a great theme called Minima until I can convert my working design of a webpage into a nice looking css style. It has a few bugs. Anyway, this will be it for a while. I’m kind of liking WP, it just has some “find the feature” issues that I’m going to be chipping away at for the next few days.
