Happy Easter and Explanations of Site Tweaks.

First of all, I would like to wish all of my readers a happy Easter Sunday. If it’s pleasant, go outside and bask in the sunshine! If it’s miserable and hazy, well… get creative! I know I may not be doing anything today but home training my abs and trying to eat and water up here, save if friends invite me out to do anything. My body is seriously dying from needing more nutrition and sleep, so I may have to carefully watch my intake rather than nit-pick and calorie count. I will still keep tabs on calories, as that is a vital part to my success and would be great reference to me.

For the regular readers of my site, you all may have noticed 2 things… The first being the Snap site previews. Snap is a nice way for me to give you all a preview of the site I am talking about in my post. If it seems to make your loading slower, let me know and I’ll gladly remove it. I just thought it’d be good for the few times that you may want to mouse over no-safe-for-work material rather than view the full blown content. For those who like commenting, I have added Gravatar settings, so that if you have a Gravatar account, your universal avatar icon will show in my blog. Need a good example? Check out my post about returning to working out and Schpenke’s icon here. Gravatars are free so if you do feel that you want a way for people to associate with you, get signed up and you’ll see your results here and any other Gravatar enabled sites.

Stay safe and well everyone! I am about to do my gut-buster sets.

So… Dallas Froze Over. Whodda Thunkit?

So I was bored and decided to go into the local mass retailer to poke about and look at stuff… I ended up staying longer than I expected and walked into this…

Behold! Snow Flurries!

But I would go to my car and see this…

Yeah, it snowed in Dallas alright… and to think I doubted the chances… Who’d have thought… To my people in Dallas/Fort Worth, if you can… stay the fuck inside and avoid the idiot drivers on the roads. If you have to step out… bundle and glove up. Drink hot tea or coffee to keep warm.

A New Home and A New Haven

My friend Merinda hooked me up with a discount to Dreamhost to begin my professional musings and maybe some personal works. I thank her for her kindness and hope that my viewers will grow with time.

As for me, I would like to say a friendly hello to any potential viewers stopping by to see my site. I plan to focus serious articles on things like technology reviews to be on Linux distros, video games, mobile phones. Every now and then, there may be a personal post or rant from my life and even goof off a bit. This site will also be home to my “logs” of the day for things like my “fitness diary” or any sort of trials (i.e. 1 month with random tech item, etc).

For newcomers of my blog… Let me formally introduce myself. My name is Zero and I am just an enthusiast about life, technology, cars, and open source software. My passions are games, medicine, driving, computer & electronic modifications, and wine tasting. I am quite approachable and kind to all walks of life as experiences can open up the mind. I am a very passionate individual who seeks to learn as much as I can by immersion. For the curious, here’s what my “gear” as of today is comprised of…

  • Dell XPS m140 laptop – powered by Ubuntu Linux
  • Smartphone: Sony Ericsson P990i with a 1GB Memory Stick Pro Duo (World Edition, unlocked)
  • Beater Phone: Sony Ericsson W300i (AT&T branded but unlocked)
  • Sony PSP Slim (PSP-2001) in Piano Black with a 512mb Memory Stick Pro Duo
  • Nintendo DS lite in Onyx

I have decided to host privately due to the restrictive nature of Vox imposing on the freedoms of my friends and I feel this would hinder the growth of the blog to the general public. Unfortunately, WordPress developers have not yet found a way to import posts from Vox over… With over 100 entries, that could be tedious to do by hand. Until a solution can be found, I will just hot-link any curious readers to my previous blog: My Old Home

Feel free to drop a line and say hello if you wish!
