This blog entry comes to you via my "new" Fujitsu Lifebook. It has a wicked hot K6-2 450 CPU and 192 MB of RAM. While it's not spectacular, it is more than enough to handle text-editing; and that's all I use to create and surf my sites. I have to head down to Des Moines tomorrow morning for a Des Moines Music Coalition web meeting. I am looking forward to what should be a productive meeting. The DMMC site is Mambo-based; a good CMS, but the module/component updates are few and far between. The event calendar is especially important for our site, but it is woefully database inefficient and produces poorly structured html output. I am extremely tempted to build something better- integration with a venue/artist directory would be sweet.

I've been busy in the shop, as seems to be the usual lately. Currently, I am putting together a bed frame for my friends Adam and Becky. The money I receive for labor should pay for a good portion of a new bandsaw. I definitely need access to a bandsaw full-time if I keep buying stacks of turning stock. I'm also thinking of taking a part-time job at the Woodsmith Store's Garden Center. It pays $10/hour, which isn't bad at all. Just depends on the number of hours they want. I can swing 15 or less.

K6-2 and a whopping 192MB of RAM? More than plenty for good ol' StarCraft! Hint hint... :p
Other time... other space.

Yeah, I think lappy would handle SC pretty well.

If you build a new calendar, you should definitely build in an RSS feed for it. We'd like to link to your events from Des Moines Alive. Keep it up man.
