No, I’m not burnt out from blogging. It’s the heat that’s doing it.

It’s actually been a slow day though, even in the blogosphere, which is fortunate because I was up until 3AM last night trying to work out some annoying kinks I had discovered on my blog. BTW, in case I didn’t say it enough before, IE is the suckiest suck butt piece of garbage browser Microsoft could have ever projectile vomited onto the masses. I cannot believe the things IE refuses to render correctly, and I can see why some web developers had given up on it and even installed scripts on their sites to block IE users from surfing in. Kinda funny actually. :lol:

And is it just me, or does YouTube’s native player seem to suck up an awful lot of CPU juice when embedding it onto your site?? I’ve personally noticed my CPU load had been skyrocketing into the 60-70% range whenever I’m playing a YouTube video. Yuck. Even more annoying, the embedded player is slightly bigger than an 800×600 resolution can handle, resulting in that accursed vertical scrolling bar showing up whenever I embed a video. @#$%!! Oh well…

Regardless, I think I have most of the blogging bugs squashed now, and hopefully when I install the Flickr plugin to bring my gallery online (either this weekend or next) that should be the end of it… for now.

Since starting this site, I’ve been surprised at the level of traffic I was able to generate through my recent roundup of blog postings, even getting as many as 20 visitors yesterday… only to see it plummet to absolute zero today, of course. Ack. I would like to be able to generate traffic on my own two feet without turning into a Trackback whore, but until I get ranked by Google that probably won’t happen for a while.

In the meantime I need to get back to prepping for law school. I’m trying to work up enough incentive to get myself back into the routine of studying again, but without any clear direction and assurance that the legal profession is really for me, I’m sometimes wondering if I should even bother. But, I’ll probably do it anyway, for the same reason people buy lottery tickets…. you never know.
