I’ve finally gotten around to getting myself a real domain. I’d thought about it before, but it took a crazy deal from Dreamhost ($11 for two years of hosting) to finally get me over the hump. The URL for this blog has switched to http://blog.paulswartz.net but the old URL should redirect for the foreseeable future.

I’m not sure what I’m going to do with it. One thing I’ll certainly look into doing is moving my tumblr2lj script onto a real server instead of running from my laptop. I did upload some software I’ve worked on (two small scripts, and the Guide) onto a development site. Now that I’m more fluent with webapps though, I’m sure I can think of some stuff to do.

Tomas came to this conclusion: Making love with a woman and sleeping with a woman are two separate passions, not merely different but opposite. Love does not make itself felt in the desire for copulation (a desire than extends to an infinite number of women) but in the desire for shared sleep (a desire limited to one woman). The Unbearable Lightness of Being, pp 15 (via my highschool LJ archives)

R.I.P Cell Phone / Long Live GrandCentral

Tue, 06 Jan 2009 15:50:33 GMT

It’s appearing unlikely that I’m going to recover my cell phone from my European trip. I’ll be getting a new one when I get to Northampton, but in the meantime I’m phone-less. If you want to call me, your best option is my GrandCentral number. It’s in my Facebook profile, or you can e-mail/IM me for it. It doesn’t do text messages, so those should just get e-mailed directly.

I won’t necessarily pick it up, but it’ll e-mail me telling me that I’ve got a voicemail so it’s more likely that I’ll get back to you.
