robotnik2004There's lots and lots I could or should be posting about, but may never get to. Including, in reverse chronological order: A send-off dinner last night for two friends moving to Chicago, who will be greatly missed, though they don't read LJ, so why go into it... A great weekend visit from my long time amigos Sean and Chris, very fun and very much appreciated. And they do read LJ, as ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
sneech515 and gammafodder, so thanks again for coming down, guys... Starchildren last week, but alas (for me) no Age of Paranoia... Another great weekend in Toronto... A very relaxing week at Wolf Lake (is there any other kind?)... The Canadian Election and the Westport (pop. <700) Pride Parade... Enough books to keep you in ARFFF! posts for the rest of the summer...
But before I get to all these topics, I need to canvas you, the Robot Army, for advice, server space, and carpentry tools:
1. One of my modest goals for this summer is to step into the mid-1990s and finally get around to constructing my academic self a website. Just the standard job hunt stuff: CV, conference papers, maybe a weblog that is only partially devoted to alien funketeers. Anyone have advice on domain name providers, web hosting, and weblog software? I know this has been hashed out before by many of you.
2. Do any of you in the Boston area have a plane I can borrow? The shaving-down-wood tool, not the flying vehicle. Another of my modest goals for this summer is to start working through the list of minor home repairs I made when I first moved in to my place in September 2001. What can I say, I must have gotten sidetracked by 9-11 and the War on Terra. But now the Iraqis are living happily ever after with full sovereignty and all, I can at last get back to painting the trim in the living room and fixing that sticking door on the liquor cabinet. So: anyone have a plane?

Hosting: PHP Web Hosting (http://www.phpwebosting.com) (having nothing whatsoever to do with the programming language PHP).
Weblogging: Blosxom (http://www.blosxom.com) is pretty cool, but I'm told that Wordpress (http://www.wordpress.org) is closer to actually usable by non-geeks.
