James Wynn

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.

I’ve been playing with lots of newer technology lately and I’ve been trying to update my blog in doing so.  First I added tag support, this required me moving away from blogger, which wasnt a huge issue for me.  Then I started adding more media content, videos and pictures, and music.  I started thinking about all the other things to incorporate: tag-clouds, technorati links, del.icio.us integration, playlist display.  Now the site is starting to get cluttered and gross though.  Perhaps thats why it hasn’t been posted to in a while.

Something must be done.  SOMETHING MUST BE DONE.  Oh the humanity.

I’ve had strange dreams before, but I had one last night that I thought was particularly interesting.  What does it mean when you are playing poker with your doppleganger?  I’ve never even heard of such a dream, not that I am one who reads about dreams and such.  Weird shit though.  Can’t recall whether I was winning or losing, but given my lack of skill at poker I can’t say I feel confident that I was doing well.
