Well, I’m unhappy with the previous layout. It was too kludgy. And borrowed. Not that I would plagiarize. Ok, so the new layout will be spiffy. But you know that means I’ll be a perfectionist and you’ll never get to see it. Mwuhahahah! Ok, one major change so far is a more sane layout for the “Archives”—I mean the permanent link to this article will be like /blog/2004/01/16/starting_anew.html or something logical, not /archives/0000565.html. So it’s a little longer than before, but that’s life. This is just so much better ™. (Well I’m not sure if it’s trademarked, but I like using that hah!)

My Head Hurts
The plastic surgery wasn’t too bad. They just numbed me up and sliced away. I had 2 moles and one cyst removed. The other two moles will have to wait until the summer (they were smaller/less irritating). The topical anesthetic is starting to wear off (which sucks), but I just took some tylenol and I’m hoping that’ll help with the pain. And I’ve got some vicodin left over from my wisdom teeth removal that should help me fall asleep easily tonight. Just seven days with the stitches until I can get them removed :).
Mole Removal
11 hours until I get some moles removed on my head. I’m a little nervous, but I’m sure it’ll all go well.
Sorry the updates have been so sparse, but there’s just nothing that important going on in my life currently!
Ooh, when school starts up again be prepared for the new revamping of my self-hosted website, at which point I’ll move my blog there. For a preview see http://froehle.dyndns.org:88/ during the hours that my computer is on (ie noonish-midnight).
(Or for an older (but partially abandoned) and similar project, see http://www-users.itlabs.umn.edu/~froe0071/).
Todo: Mole Removal
In 11 hours I’m having a mole removal procedure for a couple moles on my head. They won’t have time to get to all of them, but at least they should take care of the couple really big ones.
Here’s to hoping that all goes well!
New Style Sheets
Well, I suppose I need to learn CSS style sheets to make this thing look pretty. Right now I’m trying some that I found online. I kinda like this “stormy’‘ one, but it doesn’t look so good w/o enough content in the left column. Maybe that’s a sign that I need to write more here :-).
ITLabs
Well I finally got this thing setup over at ITLabs. The confusion was mostly over perl, as /usr/bin/perl was version 5.0.something that didn’t have a lot of modules (namely DB_File) available. However, with a quick switch to Perl 5.6.0 (/soft/perl5.6-bin/perl) fixed everything.
Ahh, such is life… more later.

Flat Tire
Yay for my POS car. 10 years old… at least it still runs. But really, why do I have to get a flat on one of the coldest days of the year. Oh well, the spare went on with a little difficulty (the flat tire had somehow frozen onto the car and required a couple good hits with a hammer to get off) and all is better now.
Hopefully this’ll be the only such incident this year.
U Band
Dude, everybody at the U should do UBand in the spring. I’m pumped. Anyway, I got Diem’s email today… what time (early or late) did y’all choose?
MWSF
I can’t wait for the Keynote Address at Mac World San Francisco TOMORROW!. I’ll be heading to the Apple Store at the Mall of America to watch, in favor of watching it at home over a video stream. With rumors running rampant, it’ll be interesting to see which are true and which aren’t.
I need to take a shower and head to work. Then it’ll be sleep time in order to awake at the 11am broadcast! (Although I’m aiming to get to the MOA by 10:15 or so in order to get a seat—-last time at the WWDC Keynote the place was totally packed and I got one of the last seats).
I :heart: my Mac.
