From the Editor’s Desk

Well, with december nearing it’s end, the feelings of fear and uncertainty that I managed to put away so comfortably for a whole month is starting to kick in, but I’m not letting this get me yet. I’m gonna go into the next year happy and having fun. The first thing I said in 2006 was “Oh crap, I’m on a fu*ing train”, but then again, the first thing I’ll say next year will be “Oh crap, I’m gonna be late for my flight” or something of that effect.

But I’m not writing today to whine about my absurd inability to be somewhere on time or my pathetic resolutions. Blogspot (note to myself, write an article later about how much I hate blogspot) is getting overloaded with new year’s resolution posts. My resolutions are good and one of them is not to broadcast them to the world. I want to write good tech tips and articles on stuff I pretend to know about.

Anyways, I’ve been reading a lot of Ctrl+Alt+Del, the stuff is absolutely great, but I don’t want to waste my already-exceeded bandwidth. And I decided three major goals for the site.

1. I’m gonna have one blog only for tech tips and articles on stuff I pretend to know about. And one more for the more interesting personal stuff. A late Christmas present from the folks here at Thought Outflux, the tech blog is gonna be called “Overclocked Vacuum tubes” and is basically independent original stuff about how to make your life easier, and not linking to all the news stories on digg one after the other.
   
2. My theme, still not named properly, but going under the working name “Innuendo” is not even in alpha stage. I need to release a proof of concept, get some feedback on the usability and then add artwork and fine tune the css until I get a proper mockup. Then I’ll be mixing it with wordpress.
3. Inspired by ctrlaltdel, I want to start a comic strip. I can’t draw for nuts, I really really really really can’t draw anything. I hated drawing things. I can’t even doodle. So you’ll have to settle for stick figures and some geekiness, with a little romance thrown in perhaps, but mostly it’s gonna be about icy cold put-me-out-of-my-misery sarcasm.

I plan to release the theme in jan end perhaps. I gotta work on missionmars(sorry robotix, I’m not offering a linkback) and some academic projects not to mention a lot of loose ends I have to tie up. The first few weeks will be hell on earth, but will keep people updated with
