I maybe broke my website?

I’m trying to turn this site from an aimless, self-indulgent blog (redundant?), into what I originally wanted it to be: a place where I get shit done.

Step One was to move this roll of bellyaching and soft points off the front page and into /blog, where it rightfully belongs.

But I wanted to do it without breaking my precious, precious Google PageRank (of approximately zero), so I need to append my .htaccess file to redirect all my old blog links to my new blog home. Here’s how I think it’s supposed to go:

redirect 301 /2009/(.*)$1 /blog/2009/$1

Or something like that. Problem is it’s not working. Luckily, in the meantime, all my old links still work. I wonder how long that will last?

One More Song Not To Wake Up To

Highway to Hell – AC/DC

Choice lyrics: “I’m on the highway to hell.”

A reminder that my life is headed inexorably toward oblivion, or at least in the wrong direction.

There’s no tilde on the iPhone keyboard

Open Mobile Safari on your iPhone and try to type in this address: 192.168.1.1/~user. I’ll wait.

Did you get stuck somewhere after /? I looked in disbelief at both the alphabetical and numeric keyboard layouts to make sure I didn’t miss it, but sure enough, there’s no ~. While this isn’t a huge oversight, it may just be a problem for, say, a CS major who would like to access his account on a university web server. But they probably aren’t big iPhone users.

Myst for iPhone

Myst is coming to the iPhone! I also just realized my iPhone has more processing power than the LC III I first played the game on. Can’t wait.
