Work, life, and websites
Oct. 12th, 2006 12:55 pmAlmost been a week since I last posted. D'aww. I've been busy with school, to say the least. And when I'm not at school for meetings or work, I'm at home doing homework and projects.
The pizza event on Tuesday was a romping success. Glowing compliments from the faculty and staff that came and questions from the evening grad students that actually sounded interested in what we had to say. I saw Carleigh, Kate, Mark, and Kyros, and I talked to them and some of the professors. Rose and Jen put me in charge of the camera, which ... was probably not the best of ideas. And the camera was constantly shutting off, complaining about low battery ... so I guess I got in 13 or 14 pictures overall.
Weekly STC meeting was just yesterday, and I've got another one next Tuesday specifically for the winter party in December (in addition to the one next Wednesday). Still need to fix up the format of last week's minutes and type up minutes from this past meeting and send them to Rose and Danielle.
Style practices and Word project/design rationale due Monday.
Cover letter and resume due Tuesday.
Grammar and punctuation test on Wednesday.
Still thinking about buying web hosting. I've decided I don't really want to spend too much money until I feel I'll actually use the space. It's very appealing to have my own domain and webspace, but between paying STC dues and that loan out to my brother, I'm uncomfortable about how little I have in the bank. Holiday season's just around the corner, too.
Besides, fandom nowadays seems more geared towards blogs and forums. Separate fansites seem to be dwindling and small fandoms congregate around one site's forums or something. Back when I first got into fandoms (mostly FF7 and a variety of anime), there were billions of fansites that--while lacking in layout design and whatnot--had their own fun little content and were charming in their own ways. I think that's still true in some cases (Japanese fansites are still plentiful), but the blogs kinda ... change things. Connect and network some people, but leave out the opportunity to reach out to strangers who might be interested in a little content without too much searching.
Or maybe I'm just thinking too much about it. Meh.
Now, off to work and possibly grab something to eat. And maybe buy a new keyring? ... Probably not.
