Dan Dickinson: The Primary Vivid Weblog

In an effort to follow through with something I promised a while back, I
have finally packaged up all I’m using for my news script, along with
proper MySQL schema, and made it available on my page. The link is off
to the bottom right, feel free to leech it there.
Disclaimer: Use at your own risk. Your web page may start to be smarmy
and irritable like mine after installation.
Coming up next may be the calendar script, or possibly a version of
gfortune I compiled for OS X.

Well…it’s nearing midnight, and I figured it might be about time to do
one of those fun news post things. Now, do I go with the unnumbered
list, or the paragraph with boldface? Hey, how about stream of
conciousness?
Went home this weekend to fix the computer, played a crapload of Chrono
Cross. Fun game. Also rented the UFC game for DC this weekend, which is
fucking nuts in the way that I love fucking nuts games. Shame it has to
go back Wednesday. Too much work to do this week, mainly in the school
arena, what with the 3 problems sets and one writeup for 264, oh and the
4 prelims next week isn’t helping my demenor any. Moby tickets on sale
Wednesday at 9 am, details are below, cash or check only, none of that
Cornell card shit. Chuck D is this Thursday, still don’t have most of my
tickets accounted for, but oh well, what can you do? Freeverse site is
coming along well now that Steve and I are working in unison, I think we
may actually pull off something extremely spiffy but as long as I keep
this stream of conciousness crap gooing, typing at a ridiculously high
speed while slouched in my chair, I don’t think the site is going to get
done any faster.
Wow, that was different. Maybe I’ll do that again in the future.

For those of you who STILL don’t have the facts straight, here are all
the details AS I KNOW THEM with regards to the Moby show.
**Venue/Time:** October 15th, 8 PM. It will be located in Bailey Hall.
**Acts:** Opening for Moby will be the trance band hybrid. Moby is also
apparently bringing a 9 piece orchestra accompaniment.
**Tickets:** Tickets go on sale for students THIS WEDNESDAY, September
27th, at 9 AM at WSH as usual. Advance tickets are $18 (at the door is
$20) for students, and I would fully expect the tickets to sell out to
the Cornell community. I do not know when the line is forming, but I
would assume we aren’t giving out line numbers. The ticket limit is 2
per student. General public tickets go on sale Friday the 29th, at
$23/$25 – available at WSH, Ithaca Guitar Works, and Ticketmaster if
there are any left.
**Who is Moby?:** If you don’t know (and there are people like you out
there), Moby is a hugely popular Grammy-nominated electronic artist who
has gone platinum, possible double. He puts on an awesome show from
everything I’ve heard.
