----- If I was dead tired all day from lack of sleep, tonight's rehearsal near put the nail in the coffin, so to speak. We ran the complete Roxy set three times, and my fingers were having a hard time moving by night's end. Add to that the fact that I'm being used as a human battering ram during the show (we had to rehearse _that_ three times as well), and well, I'm currently feeling quite exhausted, mentally as well as physically. So I figure I'll just meta for a change, since, as today's picture shows, my made-for-hitslutting site statistics program has registered its 100,000th hit. That's since April of 1999, as far back as the server logfiles go. I saw that number, and I wondered how many hits I'd be at if I had a record back to September of 1997 ... then I started marvelling at how friggin' big this site has become over the years ... and that very thought prompted me to go rooting through the archives today, reading lots of old stuff, unsuccessfully attempting to gauge some sense of personal growth in the past three years. What I did realize was that the archives were a pain in the ass to navigate, so I went to a bar after work, drank some scotch, and coded a new archive page that puts every single entry in the journal within two clicks of home. It's right there, to the left, with all the funny little colored boxes on it. I'm hoping it's pretty self-explanatory, but maybe not. I'll do some playing with it over the next couple of days, if only to see what ridiculous color combinations I can get happening on the screen between the month and entry pages. Another thing I thought about, going through the archives today ... those dashes at the top of every entry that occasionally give way to words ... that was called geeku, and also dates back to September of '97. I'm thinking of bringing the whole idea back ... more on that tomorrow. Yes, very brain dead I am. Write like Yoda, I will. Sleep I must, already apologizing to myself regarding this sad excuse for an entry.
