Yes, I know, everyone. My template sucks. I’ve been using it a long time, there are lots of little bugs in it, and I could fix it all, if I were conscientious enough. Here’s the thing: I’m not. I’m probably going to migrate over to WordPress in a couple of months, and it’s hard to convince myself to sink in all the time in would take to fix my template till then, when I could instead be developing a good one in WordPress. So, that’s what I’m going to focus on. So for every time you run into a missing …

Fighting The Influence
If you find this even remotely amusing… My name is Karl, and this is my blog. I have been fighting off the Psychic Invaders since early adolescence, and to do this I have had to mobilize my mind. My brain is criss-crossed with trenches of defence, and my soldiers are exhausted. Their numbers are running low. Many times, I have tried to get people to listen to my story, only to be rebuffed and called hurtful, hurtful names. For a long time, I have resolved myself to the fact that I am fighting this war alone. Sometimes, it seems like …
Time Paradoxes
Argh. I have this great time-travel story—very political, very much a possible tear-jerker, I think—and I’m sure once I figure out what to do with the damned time paradox problem that has stumped me, it’ll be even better for the struggle, but right now, it’s annoying the hell out of me. It doesn’t help that no book I’ve ever read has dealt with time travel and the attendant paradoxes in quite the way I mean to deal with them. Someone probably has done it before—it’s been argued that SF has been completely mined out, after all, though I don’t believe …
Uzbekistan, huh?
via Registan.net, news about where Roh Mu Hyun is planning to go next month: South Korean President Roh Moo-hyun will make a state visit to Uzbekistan May 10-12 for summit talks with Uzbek President Islam Karimov on ways of promoting bilateral relations, Chong Wa Dae spokesman Kim Man-soo said Thursday. Hmmm. No comment except to say I hope they get along. America and Japan seem quite unhappy with South Korea, and it’s a good thing to have friends somewhere. And in an unrelated note, but from the same blog, here’s a link to a post about the revolution in Kyrgyzstan.
Argh
Damn, I woke early to get the chance to cycle to school on a Tuesday. I don’t often manage to do it when I have a morning class, but I disciplined myself to get enough sleep so that I can. But according to the service I use online for weather forecasting, the chances of rain are too high. Weather.com‘s online forecasting service is guessing 30% chance of rain, and it’s always been reliable. On horribly overcast days when it’s claimed 10% chance, the results have been borne out, usually, and it doesn’t rain all day long. So even though it …
