Social Netwhoring

I may or may not be that prolific on these sites, but in case you want to add me to your network, here I am:

• Facebook (though I will only add you if I know you for reals)
• Ravelry (too bad my yarn-craft output is rather pathetic)
• Plurk (new to me as of yesterday)
• Twitter (by my cat; it’s my failed attempt at being funny by blogging as if I were Shebang)
• Last.fm (if you care to witness the stats on the weird music I listen to)
• Flickr (though all I’ve photographed for the last half year has been my cat, over and over)
• LinkedIn (my dull employment history)

I probably forgot a site or two, but really, how much can you spread yourself before you lose quality? And what if you have no quality to lose?

I used to be on Twitter as me (and not my cat) but my tweets always disintegrated into complaints about life and/or work and I don’t want to be known as the sort of person who complains about anything and everything, even if I am that person. Though I see now that my latest, uh, plurk(?) is about how I suck at CSS and Javascript, so I should probably watch out for too much negativity, since my opinion on these is unlikely to change anytime soon.

(Offhandedly, I do suck at CSS and Javascript and I remember now that I picked database work over front-end development because I didn’t want to deal with the headache of making webpages pretty. I have yet to regret this decision, if only due to my recent experience with CSS and Javascript. Enough complaining.)

Hey, I got a website-related question: would any of you know where I could get a template for a menu page? I need a page for gunson.ca, with my name and Dad’s (for when I get his part of the site back up) and links to our interweb places. I had one before, but it was plain and fugly and I want something more professional-looking. Yet, as per the previous paragraph, I’m unlikely to design one myself.

Properly themed blog entries will resume shortly. I’m just happy to have the site working on the new hosting service (Linode) and the permalinks and RSS feeds working as before. Otherwise it would’ve kept me up at nights if I didn’t have my permalinks in order.
