After finishing my sociology exam, I finally had some time to install a blog for my Google Summer of Code project (it’s required!). Since I was doing a python project, it made sense for me to install a python blog. Fine, then.

Alright. So I went and installed pyblosxom, and it was going great and I was learning how to use it. I even planned to write a plugin for it (in the future? probably not during the summer) so I could update blog with unconventional means. By unconventional I mean unpractical (IM/IRC bots are awesome blogging tools! I don’t know what you mean >.>) but that’s not the point when it comes to programming.

So I was installing the commenting plugin for pyblosxom when the akismet spam protection plugin required me to go to wordpress.com, make an account, and get the wordpress api key. I went, logged into my neglected wordpress account, took a look at their new pretty api and Gears (!) support, sshed into my server and installed Wordpress in 3 minutes. It actually took 3 minutes. I’ll get back to pyblosxom one day, but only when I switch hosts.

I will be working on my gsoc project this week. I hope to be familiarizing myself with the code and hopefully I will have time to fix some bugs in between studying for CSC165 (Mathematical Expression and Reasoning for Computer Science) and MUS211 (History of Popular Music).

Once I have time I will also make this blog pretty. It’ll be a while though, as I was never one for site prettifying.

Also, I want to buy headphones. 200 dollar range?
