So I made a bunch of minor cosmetic changes to my blog that no one will ever notice but me (then again, who am I typing to right now anyway but me?)

I also added an RSS Feed Aggregator using this really cool hack by this guy Ed Bennett, who adapted MagpieRSS for b2evolution (the free, open-source software that powers this here blog).

So far I'm getting feeds from my friends, Sam, Wen, and Tripp, and from a couple sites that I frequent, Anime News Network and Darcy Paquet's Koreanfilm.org.

Five is a good number, so if I ever feel compelled to add anymore feeds, I'll probably randomize them. (UPDATE: I did indeed add more and I randomized them)

I hope Sam doesn't mind whe she gets back from her Labor Day Weekend vacation in San Francisco cuz I went ahead and added an RSS Feed Aggregator to her blog too with feeds to her friends' blogs.

Now that I've pretty much got my blog (and Sam's) looking and running just the way I want, I bet the newest version of the blog software b2evolution will finally come out and I'll have to change everything again.

I know should be working on more important stuff than this blog, but I'm learning a lot each time I tinker with the code. Maybe one day I'll apply my knowledge to something that'll make me rich... if only I could stay focused on it for long enough. I have a real problem where I get distracted by unimportant details and I obsess over a mundane little thing for days and nights without ever following through on the really pertinent stuff.

Working on this blog instead of my thesis animation is like polishing the hubcaps on a broken-down car... it might look nice, but it isn't really going to get me anywhere.

And the worst part is, I am fully aware that it's a futile endeavor, and yet I continue to polish.

UPDATE: 09-07-2005

I added RSS Feeds from my own MySpace blog and Régis' blog, also on MySpace.

UPDATE: 09-14-2005

I decided to add a buttload more RSS Feeds so I modified my Random Quote script to randomize the all the other RSS Feeds.
