Quiet Afternoon

Listening To: my heartbeat in my ear. what's my heart doing in my ear, anyway?
Watching: the dog looking out of the window, which means it's officially afternoon.

i thought linux was meant to be the tech-porn virtual girlfriend of geeks the world over, but apparently what it lacks utterly is a decent, quick and reliable PHP editor. on Windoze i use max's html beauty (don't laugh, it used to have pictures of pretty girls on it, and it has the best syntax highlighting in the world. nuff said.) but on my netbook, all i can seem to find is bluefish, which i can't seem to customise very well - which is to say, i've made the document list appear at the top of the page, and that's about it.

someone needs to write a webcode editor specifically for the small screen needs of netbook users, they'd make a virtual killing (they wouldn't of course, linuxware tends to be free) - and i fear i'm just not enough of a geek to even try.

no, really.

no, really.

in other non-geeky news, oh no, wait - it's all pretty geeky. first, there's my on-going 365 Photos project, which is going quite well, but i have started to get sick of photographing my own house/bedroom/dog - although not so much that i'll actually brave the hideous elements on my own and take more interesting photos. secondly, i made a site for my own music (myspace doesn't count) which is here and i'm really, really proud of it. it also iterates that if my clients would only trust my artistic design sensibilities and uncanny spidey-esque sense of what's fashionable on the internet, i could put them in the right direction. for example, i made that site in about 8 hours, and i think it's standards-compliant, though i could be b@rking up the wrong foldertree there.

anyway, it's blue monday, today. or something. i think it's like Picasso's blue period, but it lasts just one day, so it's probably not like it at all, really. i think it's something to do with no-one having any money (you mean some people sometimes have money?) and it being cold and miserable (you mean there's other weather systems?) etc, but frankly it's toasty in my workspace thanks to my wonderful firemaking skills and i've become used to a world without a concept of currency. by firemaking skills, i mean i've put the fire on, not "i've set fire to the floor" - although it's always an option if i run out of firewood.

i should probably wrap this one up.

in conclusion - +++ geektech paradox encountered in linux +++ out of cheese error +++ redo from start +++ blue monday not inserted, abort/retry/fail? [a] +++

tomorrow, a treatise on why being a nerd is different from being a geek.

I Heart: being able to watch and listen to stuff online for free - it feels so... clean. and... neat. and... free.
