You all knew it would happen sooner or later...

I'm moving my blog. Again.

Suprised you guys continue to put up with this crap , really...


http://blog.brettkelly.org/ (I just created this subdomain, so it's going to take a few hours for DNS to propagate, so if it doesn't work, try again in an hour).

You can temporarily access it using this link: http://brettkelly.org/blog/

Now, it's going to take me awhile to find a suitable theme and re-add the hojillion links i've got on the sidebars here, but Wordpress is badass enough to allow me to import all of my previous posts from this blog, so the transition should be smooth.

Thank you for your support

HURR

GOOOO

Yep, still cute.

Emacs, oh how I love thee...

Now, really, I swear I've got some actual content brewing in my head.

For now, I'll show you something that Vince blogged about : Playing Sudoku from within Emacs!

Here's a screen shot of my local Emacs (at work) and the major mode you'll need if you want to play.

Poker Woes...

Had a very good chance of making the final table in a No-Limit Hold'em tournament.

Then, this happened .

Frustrating, and I do think they made an incorrect call based on the amount I bet. But, hey, that's poker...

I'll post something soon, maybe...

True. Dat.

I Thought You Weren't Political?

Well, it's true, I'm really not. The reasons why are for another time in another post. But, I don't consider this action/feeling to be politically motivated. Read on...

You might've noticed the new white banner on the top right corner of the page. The ONE Campaign's purpose is to divert 1% of the US budget toward eliminating AIDS and extreme poverty in Africa. I found one.org after reading Bono's speech at the National Prayer Breakfast (turns out he's not the super-inflammatory left-wing artist-turned-political-monday-morning-quarterback that I thought he was). In short, I found his talk to be inspiring. I read one.org and found that thought it was a hell of a plan. So, I'm onboard.

Not sure if it's the fact that I'm a new father (which I think is quite a heart-softener in itself) or what. But I'm saddened and a bit distressed by what I've read. These people are somebody's loved ones. And life is precious.

Go to One.org - read about the campaign, sign the declaration if you dig it.

Had an idea

So, I'm sitting here and I come to the fairly obvious realization that I'm constantly learning new things. Be they work-related, marriage/fatherhood-related, or just completely unrelated to anything specifc, I'm learning.

So, I decided to start another blog called What I Learned Today. I'm going to try to post something every single day ("try" being the operative word there). It will be a running tally of all the new little nuggets that find their way into my thick head.

Anyway, first post is up (though, it deals with programming - you've been warned). Feedback welcome and appreciated, enjoy.
