Night All

Ok.  Its officially now 19 straight hours at the keyboard.  The last database update for today is done.  The database is up to 14818 posts, 1309 rss urls and all seems well and good.  Am I 100% happy?  Of course not.  There's like a zillion and one things to do but "bit by bit" you know.

I'll be online and grinding on this all day tomorrow I suspect.

What a day and half a night! 06/25/2004 07:09 AM

Well I have had one heck of day woke up this morning to agonizing back pain stretched for a while to try and get the back to loosen up. Went downstairs and found the meds the doc had stocked me up on. A OxyCooden and a Flexeril and 20 minutes later I was doing much better. After a 2 hour nap I am up trying to get some work done. Start off and play around with Top Style and Homesite deciding that I still like Hotmetal better for regular html stuff but Top Style is the ticket for CSS. Went ahead and paid for that over the web and no I don't have to deal with the trial nags.

About 2 this afternoon I decide I have the templates and the CSS cleaned up as much as it is gonna be on the MT3 Test site and decide to roll the production to MT3 along with a couple of other sites I run. Start backups of the 2.6 site along with downloading the databases etc. Between a run to the pharmacy dinner and messing with the kids. This site is now running MT3. I then decided to do some house cleaning on the Laptop as I have been abusing it for the past 2 months and needed to get all of the software I have bought along with all of the programs that I decided where not worth it de-installed and general file organization. Burn a couple of Master DVD's etc etc etc. So here I am at 1:45am Hawaiian time and I am ready to see what has happened in the tech world news. No wonder my wife calls me nuts sometimes.

But I will tell you one thing that I have been able to get done while recovering from spine surgery is that I am remote logging into all of my machines and getting them organized and sync'd. Wife said her PC has not run this good in a couple of years. Amazing what you can get done when you have nothing but time on your hands.

The Night before Christmas

The Night before Christmas 12/24/2003 07:05 PM
'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the site, Not a poster was stirring, not even to fight; Ante and Don were hung by the chimney with care, In hopes that Spymac 3 would soon be there; The members were nestled all snug in their beds While visions of new features danced in their heads; And Kristie in her 'kerchief and Atari in cap, Had just settled down for a long winters nap.

"Time passes, or rather doesn't pass. It is just there, solid as a coffee mug on the diner's counter. Time hangs like the reek of old tobacco in the hotel furniture". We all think we know Edward Hopper's images, even if we've never seen his paintings. Somehow the solidity of the world -- even the sky is like a wall -- is at odds with the transience of the people in it, however long they sit and stand and wait. Hopper's people, like Manet's figures , often appear consumed by the irreducible business of being. Hopper, too, would descend into his own silences, would delay himself in self-doubt...

 They were literally rolling the old hippies (Baba Ram Das) around in wheelchairs athe 13th Digital Be-In on Saturday night.

I was there to talk about DLAs, and in typical fashion someone didn't show up, so they moved me up the schedule - which of course then meant that none of the people who came to hear me - could - as they thought I was coming on later.

The EFF, Creative Commons and danah boyd were there - too.

Well God Bless Michael Gosney anyway.  I got to see some old friends - such as Tony Bove (otherwise known as T-Bone) - pictured to the right, along with Brad DeGraf.

Brad's been working on the Media Venture Collective - which is an org to help kids to upload their video work onto the web.

I remember dreaming that something was lost. I woke in the middle of the night, not knowing what or why I was seeking so desperately. Something was missing, and I could not say what.

Then I found it on the floor, where it had apparently fallen off the bed during the night.

I lifted it and put it back next to my pillow where it belongs, and fell back to a dreamless sleep. With a smile on my face.

I wonder... How long can one shirt keep her scent?

fixing a hole

fixing a hole 12/19/2004 03:48 PM

I had a wonderful time at my signing in Huntington Beach last night. There were about forty people seated when I started, and by the time I was finished, another fifteen or so had joined us.

Over the years, I've developed a pretty good sense of how the audience is relating to me, and I felt like I connected with this audience immediately, and maintained the connection all the way through. It was awesome. The last few readings I've done have been a hardcore geek conferences, you see, and there's been a very palpable "Okay, prove to us that you deserve to be here, jerk." feeling from at least part of the audience, but last night, I didn't feel any challenge or hostility from the people there, so I was able to relax and just do my thing.

Usually, I just thank people for coming, and get right into reading, but last night I tried something now: I gave a little bit of a "talk" about the internets, and the power of blogs. I talked about how blogs are a powerful communication tool, and how blogs can be used for very positive things, like helping our friend Kris when she had cancer. I also talked about this awesome auction I'm a part of to raise money and awareness for the Alzheimer's Association of Los Angeles (that is going to be so cool, it gets its own entry in the near future.)

I've been thinking a lot about how my life has changed, and I know that none of this would be happening without the examination of my life that happened because of my blog and my books. I talked a little bit about that examination, and how I discovered this thing called "the quarter life crisis," where we hit our mid-to-late twenties and freak out because we don't know what we're doing (or going to do with) our lives as we near thirty. At that time in my life, I recalled, I was struggling not only to be a successful actor, husband, and stepfather, but also to figure out who I was. My mom always told me "just be yourself, and you'll be happy." That's great advice, but it's tough to heed when you don't know who "yourself" is.

Anyway, I talked about all those things as a lead-in to the writing of Just A Geek, and to set up where I was in my life when I experienced the events I wrote about in Chapter Nine of Just A Geek (pdf file), which is what I read last night.

The actual "reading" portion of the . . . uhm . . . reading . . . was great. I felt comfortable with the material, and it is always entertaining (to me, anyway) to edit out the naughty words on the fly when I read. It was extra fun last night because people were following along in their own books, and they'd giggle when I replace "shit" with "crap," or something similar.

When my reading was done, I took a few questions, which gave me another opportunity to talk about how empowering the internet is, and how I used the internet to reassert control over my creative life. Then, I sat down and signed books for everyone there. The people who came out were all friendly and enthusiastic, and the whole experience was just wonderful. I was done about 8:45, and through the power of quantum physics, I made it up to ACME by 9:30 without ever exceeding the posted speed limit.

Shut up. I did.
