mod’s life

After a year of on-and-off back pains, I finally decided to get it checked out. I got the x-ray results today.

Cervical spine

Apparently my cervical spine (neck area) is abnormally straight. There is supposed to be some curvature, and the straightness is consistent with muscle spasms, and typically follows a car accident. I haven’t been in one though, so I don’t know how it got to be like that. I’ll be taking some physical therapy sessions in attempt to fix it and rid myself of the pain.

On second thought, I was reminded that I went go-kart racing back in May, and I was rear-ended really hard once. I remember my head snapping back pretty bad; that could have done it. It wouldn’t explain the pain though, because the pain started before that.

I recently cleaned my room and rearranged my setup a little bit…

my command center

Yep, that’s six computer screens you see there surrounding my throne. Not quite six computers, because one of them is a dual-monitor setup (the middle two LCDs at the corner), but still that’s two laptops and three desktops. I play Warcraft on the 22″ on the right, do my finances and some webbrowsing on the 17″ next to it, and do my AIM and Apache configuration on the dual-17″s. My guests play Warcraft on the notebook on the left, and the notebook in the front is 6-year-old P3 1ghz that has a busted hard drive or something because it takes 10 minutes to boot up Linux.

Joyce says my room is not sexy. How is this setup not sexy??

Hi everyone! My webpage has gone through many, many changes over the past few years, and this is the latest incarnation. I’ve decided to somewhat simplify the whole thing and just manage it via a Wordpress system. It’ll lack the customization and variety of content I can manage, but it’ll be cleaner than before. I don’t quite know yet how well this will work, but I’ll give it a shot and see how it goes. Hopefully I’ll post new entries about the events in my life every so often.

A note about organization: I intend this page to be the central entry point to my website as a whole. So all the “side sites” (related portions of my main site that don’t quite fit into a Wordpress site, which at this time really only includes my photo gallery) should be accessible from here, typically from the side menu.

And finally, no registration required! In fact, registration isn’t even allowed. Anyone is able to come in, browse around, comment (though I may remove/re-evaluate this ability if spammers become a problem), etc. Just don’t abuse it, be courteous to other viewers, and have a good time!
