Firelight

Today Jean-Luc “got it in”.

I think Vicious was saying something at the time.

Now, my own guilty past includes the fact that I, in fact, have a livejournal. This is in no way nearly as bad as, for instance, having a xanga; but it’s bad enough.

However, I have many friends who also have LJ accounts, and in fact keep them regularly updated. Something fascinating I found upon my last visit was the fact that somebody, and I honestly don’t know who, but somebody hooked up a link from LJ to our Blogger feed. This means you can add firefallpro as a feed to your friends view, and get the updates you crave easily.

Also, that dashboard tool that Scott mentioned earlier? yeah that thinger only works about 50% of the time. Untrustworthy.

What a wonderful birthday cake.

MaXtor is the incredible manufacturer who provides the world with reliable OEM and retail drives, at a fraction of the cost of any other competitor. Each drive sold features a prominent disclaimer against any liability for failure or data loss. Their latest industry revolutionizing feature is a series of tones that are played when the drive has failed. This technology is essential when you absolutely need to be certain that your data is hopelessly gone, which as the label kindly reminds you is not MaXtor’s concern.

After a phone call with LaCie I learned that many others have also experienced the elusive death cry. Luckily the case is still under warranty. Unfortunately the replacement won’t likely come with a MaXtor brand drive that I’ve come to love and regularly dispose of.

Why is it that the LaCie F.A. Porsche USB2 drive, sitting beside me, makes a series of tones when it powers on? I didn’t even know it had anything in it even close to a speaker. Why would someone even go through the trouble of putting one in?

Nevertheless, I’ve been walking around the office playing it’s sweet music to anyone I can find. Stupid drive. Thankfully it was only used for backup.

The main site is now a stub, instead of a block of text describing my abysmal neglect of the website. Neglect on the order of no less than 4 years.

Granted this change isn’t a world of improvement, but it’s something. Most importantly it shows our new logo (feedback is welcome). It also provides much needed links back to here, our brochure, and gallery.

All this, and we now have a favicon. Which may or may not show up for you now or later. They whole business of them is sketchy at best, but if you happen to catch it, cookie for you.

I didn’t realize till today that I forgot to change the path that Blogger uses to post the archive and RSS feed. I think the archive still worked, but not the feed. This all started when I initially configured Blogger to have root FTP access. I set all the paths accordingly and then when it came time to creating a new FTP account for Blogger to use, I decided to limit it to a specific subdirectory. Needless to say, I only went back and changed some of the path settings.

Anyway, I doubt anyone noticed, but the RSS feed works now. I hope you’re happy.
