Toronto Late Night

January 26, 2004 D. H. McKee

Off

Spent the whole day in Toronto (mostly just getting to and back from Toronto), working on our servers. The storm’s been kicking up outside, and there were few people around the downtown area around 10pm… just cabs looking for fares, and the occasional late night joe, like myself, trying to find his/her way home. The plows haven’t been through yet, and the driving was crazy.

Thanks to my buddy at work, who put some useful .img files up on our server, so I could get the job done. FYI — Norton Ghost 2002 doesn’t copy useful drive images of EXT3 file systems, and it tends to wipe the MBR of the disk, so restoring a hard drive isn’t a smart thing to do with this software. Luckily, Symantec Ghost 8.0 *does* do what we needed, but took up 2 floppies (I only brought one).

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.
