Geeky and Tech.
I’ve been using an application called WriteRoom to write up reports and such lately. WriteRoom lets you block everything out and allows you to work against a black background. It helps me concentrate on only what I’m trying to finish writing. Whenever I try to work on something, I end up spending at least 200% more time than necessary because I let myself get distracted. What I’ll do is surf through sites like Wikipedia or go on Amazon and look up junk.
On another note, classes are cancelled because of the snow. What am I doing? Procrastinating by writing about how I prevent procrastination. I should really be studying for my chemistry exam.
Also, there should be a screenshot here of what WriteRoom looks like.
Quite honestly, I don’t remember when I stopped blogging. Well, stopped writing for Cafenut. I think at some point, I began to post things over at cafenut.tumblr.com instead of this site. Possibly because I had a feeling I wouldn’t be able to afford a renewal at the time. Last night, I decided to pull things together and resurrect the website.
After paying a few fees and working out some issues with Dreamhost, I was able to get the site up and running. I was afraid I might’ve given up on Cafenut and deleted the entire site. Fortunately, I had three backups saved on my laptop.
I was a little reluctant to keep up my old posts because I might’ve had things that would embarrass me now. But honestly, I could care less. Those old posts help me see what’s changed about myself and what’s still the same.
I’m not sure how frequently I’ll be writing here because I’m usually tweeting these days. Twitter has changed the way I blog. I think my early posts from Blogger (circa 2004-2005) are similar to what I’m usually posting on Twitter now. I’m still considering whether or not I should make my Twitter feed public again.
Anyway, this blog needs an overhaul. I think I’ll be working on improving my writing. I don’t have the time to focus on the layout of the site or anything. We’ll see where things go.
It feels nice to be blogging again, or at least attempting to begin again. I was looking through my old posts and I realized how much I’ve changed. It’s nice to look at the things I wrote back then. It let’s me understand myself a bit better.
I’m still working out the kinks. Bear with me please!
