James Wynn

I think its something about the air pressure or something, but my teeth are killing me.  I knew I shouldn’t have gotten them worked on just before leaving.  Oh well, not much to do now but whine about it.

Seems I tried to book extra days here at Utano too late, so now I have to find another place to sleep.  But I needed to go fish my bags out of the lockers at Kyoto station anyways.   Anyone have other suggestions for where to stay?

Unfortunately it seems most of my Kyoto friends are really busy job hunting and stuff, so I must find some way of entertaining myself.  Hrmmm… Perhaps I’ll go waste some money and go to an onsen - hahaha.

I finally got in last night and Im soooo tired.  Lots of stupid miscalculations too.  My laptop doesnt fit the electrical outlets here, whereas my last laptop did.  Only one of my bags would fit in the lockers at the train station.  And I got dropped off at the wrong bus stop last night.  I ment to go to Utano Youth Hostel, but instead went to Utano Byoin, which is a mental hospital!  Hahaha.

Things are looking up, but ive only got 30secs left. later!

I had thought my itenerary looked a little off.  Seems that StudentUniverse gave me a nasty layover in Detroit.  Not that bad really, only 12 hours.  Oh well, who wants to travel for 24 hours straight anyways.  This way I get a nice break, get to sleep in a real bed, and get a nice breakfast.  Never really been to Detroit before either.  Well, there was that one time.  But we dont speak of that.  Unless we are drunk.  All of us.

By the time I’m able to post again, I should be somewhere in Kyoto.  No telling where exactly, but somewhere.  Much benefit could be had if I would learn to plan my travels better.  But that seems like it would be less interesting, and more work.

Does anyone know of a good hostil or something in Kyoto?  I think I have a couple of days before I can get into my more permanent place.

It’s been quite hectic getting ready for the move to Japan.  I leave in less than a week, and most of my stuff still has neither been packed nor moved.  Haven’t finished my classwork and I’m still not even sure where I’m staying for the first few days.  But these things have a way of working themselves out though.  I’m sure.

I also need to find a new host for all of my web and development needs.  Dreamhost looked unbelievably good until I realized how bad the reviews are.  Too bad, its hard to find a host with ssh access.  Anyone have some suggestions?

The very observant will notice that I have recently made many changes to my wordpress theme.  In particular the additions of ads and a menubar at the top, and the return of my gallery.  Most of the pictures are still missing though.  Adsense has been quite a disapointment so far though.  Apparently you must have TONS of traffic for them to make any money at all.

Interestingly, I’ve found that not only am I #2 on Google when you search for James Wynn, I’m also #1 when you search for a variety of other terms.  I’ve been informed that some of the searchs are quite pornographic.  Dunno how that happened - hahaha.
