Nothing but Nothing, and Then Some
Let me start off by announcing release dates and unveilings and other miscellaneous stuff uninteresting to those that actually read this. July 1st is the date I plan to unveil and deploy version 3 of LTTP.net. The current status of it can be found here. Milestone 3, AKA version 0.0.3, of CMSform^E (it's been a long time since I typed it in its proper format like that...) is due to be released July 4th, which coincides with its first birthday (and the country's 228th). Then, we scramble quickly (redundant?) to update the styles and lang packs and DBALs to become ultra-accessible for our Milestone 4 release on August 9th. After that, we branch the CVS Repository with PHASE_1 so that we can continue development on HEAD for 0.1.x, which will include modules, while still allowing us to release bug fixes from the 0.0.x branch.

On a somewhat-related note, I still don't know what job I'll be starting on July 1st. Ah well. I believe I'm leaving July 28th for Colorado, then Canada, then Colorado again, coming back August 6th (only a few days before Milestone 4 of CMSform^E is due out).

Now that that's out of the way, let's get on with the main purpose of this post.... Well, actually, there are two of them, so let's start with the... uh... first one. For the first time in many weeks, Radio@AOL (I know, I'm sorry) played Maria Mena's "You're the Only One" (twice, in fact). The lyrics and the way this song is sung reminds me of Alexa, for some reason.... Check out the lyrics and let me know if I'm off base about that. You'll also benefit from actually hearing it sung, so maybe you should check out the short clip from Maria Mena's website. It should automatically begin playing when the Flash loads, so have your speakers ready.

On to the second order of business, some anonymous user made this comment to a totally unrelated article. (The removed comment underneath that was a repost of the first one... and I didn't realize deleting it would continue to announce that it once existed.) Now, I don't know who the poster is, but I did quickly determind that the "sidekick" is Steven Blumenfeld. After asking him if he posted the comment, this is how he replied:

Notnow27 (2:37:41 AM): nope
Notnow27 (2:37:49 AM): im just the sidekick
[...]
Notnow27 (2:38:06 AM): u leave 2 many clues
Notnow27 (2:38:11 AM): i didnt read it all lol sum1 else did

When asked who it was, he replied with:

Notnow27 (2:38:22 AM): cant say :-X

So, that's about as far as I know on that subject. We'll see how the "cliffhanger" is resolved later, I guess.

Now, thinking about this caused me to come up with the (possibly corny) idea of setting up a separate blog about things like this. Called the Long Beach Love Connection (again, corny, and open to alternative suggestions), it would contain accounts of people's successes, failures, experiences in this fragile area. This blogging software allows "teams" of posters, so anyone who would want to post would merely contact me to get their name added to the team, and then they would be able to post (theoretically) as many posts as they wanted for as long a time as deemed appropriate. Before I start up the blog, I'd like some feedback on the issue. If I get enough positive feedback, I'll start it up and we'll go from there.

That's about it for now, so, until next time....

Time Now: 1:39 AM
