Ideas versus action

Ever had one of those times where you have so many ideas for what you could do with a site that you’re left sort of paralyzed trying to figure out where to start? I’m experiencing that right now with how to move everything from the old Geocities site over to this domain. I’m already linking between the two sites profusely, storing pics here that link off the Photo page there, running the Child Abuse weblog on this server, etc. I might as well make it easier on myself and start recreating those pages over here and giving myself more options than Geocities is currently allowing on their free accounts.

I guess the big decision to be made before I get into any sort of moving is whether to buy a new domain name for that stuff and park it on this hosting account, or just go the cheap route and make it a sub-folder of this domain. (www.mikemcbrideonline.com/childabuse or something like that?) Right now I’m leaning toward the free route. 🙂

In other, “maybe my job’s not that bad”, news, I was listening to the radio this morning on the way to work and the morning DJ was relating the story of the conversation he had with the new sales person at the station. She had just moved over from a rival station in town and explained to him that she was brought over because she was very successful at selling the morning show people on the other station, and that she had it on good authority that they would be following her very soon. The DJ knew nothing about this. The salesperson assumed he did. He’s not feeling very good about his future right now.

    As my wife described last night, after about 11 hours of travelling back from Virginia, including a couple of stops, I arrived home to news that our file and database server at work was dead. We quickly unloaded the car and I loaded back into it to go off to the office, where I discovered…

    A little bit of knowledge I picked up reading Coercion by Douglas Rushkoff last night. According to him the US is the only developed nation that does not make teaching media literacy a requirement in its schools. That says soo much about the media in this country that I can’t even begin to talk about…

  • A random thought

    Just something that occurred to me today when I had someone looking at my Flickr photos. I purposely resize all the photos I put up in my Flickr account, and also in the galleries to be smaller than the original, for a couple of reasons. One, so they load quicker, two, to keep the storage…

    For all the good intentions I had, the laptop never even got powered on all weekend. We arrived home safely this evening after spending the weekend in Johnson City, TN.

    The first bit of Office that I looked at was Outlook 2003. I spent a good portion of late Saturday night/Sunday morning learning about the differences and features. It took a little while to adjust to the 3 panes-across layout as opposed to the 1 pane on the left, two panes over top of each…
