50,000 Monkeys at 50,000 Typewriters Can't Be Wrong

The only constant is change

When I opened this site, I knew nothing about html and it’s bastard brothers, CSS and.php and stuff.
Now, 8 weeks later, I know next to nothing, but I’m closer to knowing something, which is nice.
The entire site has been redone, in.php now. It should load faster, look cooler, and be easier for me to manage.
If you look on your right, you’ll see a new feature I’ve added: it’s books, music, and movies that I like. Since I seem to have attracted a certain type of person here (smart, independent, progressive), my guess is you already have what I’ll be putting up. But if you don’t and you want to buy it, you should go to a local, family owned business and get it. If for some reason you live in The Republic of Best Buy, or the Feifdom of Wal*Mart, you can click on the pictures, and get it from amazon. It’s a good way for you to support my site, too, because Spamazon will send me something like 15% of the cover price, less taxes, of course…so the 18 cents I make will go towards getting me a new computer, with a faster processor, and a bigger hard drive…which means more RFB for the children. Because I care about you, and I want to make my computer cooler, for the children.
Also, I’m expecting my site to be enjoying the Slashdot effect, very soon, maybe even tonight. So if you’d like to mirror the site, that’d be cool.
There is one last thing: While I was redoing the site today, looking at the clock, freaking out that I had to leave, and I wasn’t done, I hit a wall. I just couldn’t get the pages to look the way I wanted them to, and I was about to have a complete meltdown…and I begged my friend Josh, one of the guys behind logjamming hosting, to help me. Josh did help me, and I would have never been able to fix it on my own.
I owe Josh a huge debt of gratitude, and if you are hooked on this lame little site, so do you.
You should update your links, too. If you were linking to greymatter.htm, you’ll need to relink to www.wilwheaton.net/main.php
I am certain that I messed some things up. Please post your discoveries in the comments, so I don’t get 500 emails saying, “You messed up A, B and C”, or “You messed up Living in Harmony”.
I hope everyone is having a good night!
