Meebo me!
Aug 15th
So you might have noticed I added a new widget on the sidebar called Meebo. Basically what does is allow anyone who views this blog to send me an instant message. I'm not completely finished setting it up but once I have it tied to my own AIM account I should be on fairly regularly. If you're reading my blog and you see me online feel free to shoot me a message!
Also, to whom it may concern - you can find my pagecast . My setup is pretty lame right now but I'm still getting used to it, there are certain things I like about it and other things I sort of miss from Netvibes but that's for a future post.
Until then...
Man, I’m a terrible writer.
Jul 6th
I was just reading back through the post I made and I realized that I'm a pretty bad writer. I used to be proud that I could write at least decently, but when I make blog posts I tend to write everything like I would speak it.
I should probably try to break that habit.
S.T.A.L.K.E.R., WordPress, and maybe my new phone.

This is going to be a pretty jumbled post containing a few different topics that I was originally going to make separate posts out of.
Just so you know.
I finished up within the last week (finally) and I have to say it's really awesome. If you've played Oblivion or any of the other games then all I can say is think of it as an FPS version of those games. I don't really have enough time to go into much detail other than that except to say that I totally recommend it to anyone who has a gaming rig that's up to snuff. It was original, had a great story, beautiful graphics...let's just say I can't find very many bad things to say about it. Just make sure you patch it before you play since it launched with some brutal bugs.
Onto topic #2! Why the F does WordPress only let me left align images? It's annoying the hell out of me. I've checked their site and can't find anyone else who has the problem, but when I installed it on the server there were no errors or anything...I'll have to check if there's an update or something. Could just be the theme I'm using too.
Finally, I got a a month or so ago and I really like it. I almost bought a instead but I didn't really feel like paying $70 a month for a data plan. The phone's almost as slim as a Razr but also has a full QWERTY keyboard. It's nice for texting, IM'ing and especially Twitter.
That's all for now, I might go into more detail later...but probably not.
P.S. - I was just finding images to insert into this post when the thought occured to me...one of these days I'm going to get burned for hotlinking! So if for some reason you come here in the future and there's some weird or gross image just know it wasn't my intention to post it. :-\
A fresh face.
May 4th
So I just uploaded a new homepage for . It's just a placeholder for now and it's extremely (I mean to an unbelievable extent) primitive. I just felt like I needed a frontpage even if it's really basic. Talk about simple interfaces, eh?
Anyways, I think I'm going to try and install the in the next couple days and eventually that will be the bulk of the site. Until then the white and red will have to do.
Holla.
New updates to my wiki.
Apr 22nd
I just wanted to make a quick blog post to say that my wiki has been updated. All of the walkthroughs for installing web-server addons to your Ubuntu machine are updated. Â I needed to do those for a class I'm currently taking (Networking II at Pitt-Bradford) and I think that it came out pretty well.
So check out the wiki, if you go to you'll be forwarded there. I may end up adding some other installation guides if I think of something relevant. If you have any suggestions or ideas about the wiki please email me at dmkemick@gmail.com.
Thanks.
Alright, just another quick update…
Apr 10th
So I decided to change the blog away from the default, considerably "noobie" theme. Unfortunately the theme I used isn't custom or anything, because I don't yet know PHP. So in the meantime I figured I'd just use one of the themes a user uploaded to WordPress' site.
Anyways, I've gotten a lot done today. I bought the domain name and hosting for this site earlier in the morning and, since then, have gotten a wiki going as well as my blog.  The main purpose of this site was the wiki, which is part of an assignment I have in one of my classes, but I liket he blog just as well.
Unfortunately though I think I'm going to be forced to skin the wiki, so we'll see how that goes. It shouldn't be too bad because from what I saw its mostly CSS. Anyways, that's all for now.
Damn, I never thought I’d have one of these.
Apr 10th
But so it goes. Speaking of things going, I have no idea where this will go, if anywhere. I'll try to come up with things to post as often as I can.
Anyways, welcome to the ramblings of a college student/tech enthusiast/quasi-web developer. I hope you enjoy what I have to say.
