New Job = screwing around

Now that the job situation has stabilized somewhat, I can get back to the more important things in life, like finding ways to screw around at work. Here are some favourites, in no particular order:

posting a Missing Link

checking mls.ca for houses – I’m planning on buying some day

finding good trivia on IMDB

learning more about UNIX, since I’m getting paid for it

Notice how none of them is “posting to my blog”. We’ll that’s about to change, if I have anything to say about it. Since I’m too busy at home with SWG and relationshippy stuff, I rarely even think about feeding the cats, let alone post to my blog. At least now, I have some periods of slowness at work, and I can put some much needed attention into the old Movable Type.

Actually, if I get a chance, I’m thinking of doing an upgrade of my systems here at HQ. I’m looking at putting in a mySQL database backend, and the latest version of MT. Maybe even clean up the look of the site a bit … make it a little more presentable for when the parental units stop by.

About This Site

As a guy who occasionally curates art shows and wrangles artists together, I often have to edit and post artist bios, profile pictures, and artwork images. This can be a problem, since many artists and writers aren’t used to selling themselves. Artists rarely know how to present their art for display in a brochure, and writers aren’t used to writing about themselves.

Writers often treat the bio like it’s an interview or something. Maybe like they’re having a conversation with you, the reader. While it may work sometimes, the most common way to write a bio is to write in the 3rd person.

I’m like those writers, and I’m talking to you directly, unlike the common way to do a bio. You should see my About page. It makes sense to me, since this is a bit which describes my blog’s website. When I get famous enough that I don’t have time to talk to you, I’ll have an intern write everything in 3rd person. Until then, you get to talk to me.

Like blogs of old, this one is a personal document of the comings and goings of me. Articles I’ve written, links I’ve posted, videos I liked, etc. Here, a first-person perspective is the way to go, at least for now. So, this is my site. I’m D. H. McKee, a sometimes artist, sometimes writer. Mostly just a guy on the internet.
