Some states already have more early vote-by-mail turnout than their turnout in previous elections!

And… it seems to be coming from states with higher percentage of black voters!

iWeb and metadata and Tiffany Lee

Categories: web 2.0 Tags: ,, , markdangerchen @ 4:50 pm

I’m trying to help Tiffany get some web presence and we noticed that it is pretty much impossible to add metadata to an iWeb created site. Is that right?

site seems to be working okay

Categories: Life, Misc. Tags: ,markdangerchen @ 8:22 am

I switched to a new hosting plan with more bandwidth so hopefully this site won’t exceed its limit any time soon like it did a few days ago.

Also, all I did was ftp everything over and create/populate the wordpress database with a backup of my old one. I’m amazed it all seems to be working, but please let me know if you find any broken links or whatnot.

thanks!

Reading in Grad School

Categories: Academia Tags: ,, , markdangerchen @ 4:24 am

Check out Sean’s tips on graduate school level reading!

This is timely for new grad students, and, coincidentally, a couple of new students I know here at UW have mentioned the difficulty of reading on a grad level, so yay!

Of particular note, which I haven’t done but damn, that’s a good idea… is to make a simple database to keep track of papers read and their main points, etc.

Switching web hosting plans

Categories: Life Tags: ,markdangerchen @ 6:00 am

This site might be down for a while some time this weekend as I move stuff over to a new hosting plan.

In other news, I found a torrent for the old, old 1993? game Darklands!

Know what’s sad?

I was singing that Smiths’/Morrisey song Girlfriend in a Coma on the way to Miller Hall today… well… singing in my head… and I thought, man, I bet most of these kids around me have never heard it.
