Why do this? Why treat the customer this way?
One sufficiently motivated might ask why I'd go to the trouble of making a website (in case you didn't already know from facebook it's www.alucinor.net and you should hit me up on facebook) when I've already got a free livejournal I never update. Good question!
In response to the question nobody asked, I'm updating my livejournal. It would be highly impractical to use my new page for complete journaling right away. I haven't learned enough php to set up an efficient way to archive journal entries. And, as previously mentioned, I've got a livejournal already. This will do nicely until such time as I'm proficient enough with my webpage project thingy. This also forces me to write more.
I just woke up motivated one "morning" and wrote down my entire dream. That got the creativity flowing. It's also due in large part to that questionnaire meme Kristina tagged me with, otherwise I wouldn't have thought to start journaling dreams. But the webpage was a project long in the making. I actually tried a couple months ago but my credit card got refused and the domain was shut down after two days. That turned out to be a good thing, since I didn't really like the domain name I'd chosen before.
So now I've started it again, beginning with the modest goal of utilizing it as a separate "dream log." Baby steps.
All the other things listed on my webpage are the various projects I'd intended to accomplish over here. If this deployment were like the last, I'd have no problem crossing one or two of those off my list. As it turns out, it is very much not. My hands are full enough just staying level this time. But I can say with absolute certainty that I will follow through on these things finally when I get back and get out. In the glow of unemployment I will have no distractions and no excuses. I will have nothing but time and a modest amount of money saved up. Things will happen. This I vow to myself, to whom I am accountable. Myself and none other.
