Old Blog Jones

Well, I finally had a

Well, I finally had a chance to go onto the Bob Jones wi-fi network today. (Weekends are so nice: no homework to worry about the next day). Wow. I love this. I wish I could get this for my house without great expense. Problem is, I'd getting high-speed internet access would be expensive, then I'd have to get a router (or whatever it's called), and probably a couple of access points so I can get the network throughout my whole house, and it'd be nice to have a desktop with XP (instead of ME, which is the worst software Microsoft ever coded) on it to run as the central computer. One thing leads to another.

I did check on whether or not my blog makes it through the network; or rather, I checked to see if Dave Barry's blog will make it through the network. As I feared, it did not. So... If I'm going to do this so that my dorminated friends can see this, I'll have to move the blog to its own server.

Oh well. But the weird thing is that I can edit my blog on campus (I used BlogThis! a couple of times), but I can't view it. Which will be nice, should inspiration ever strike me.

But it would be nice to be viewable on the dorm networks. Maybe I'll consider the Movable Type thing, but I really don't want to spend any more time on the non-writing parts of this than I have to. Normally I like computers--I loved my class on Visual Basic--but this needs to be as non-frustrating as possible.

There's only two features that I want: Compressible posts (you know, like Venomous Kate's "Hold On! I'm not done hissing yet..." links), and bloging via e-mail. I just think that that would be cool, although BlogThis! seems to do the same thing.
