I said I’d write daily with words from my GRE book, but I’ve been busy trying to get a new job. Things are looking up, but I won’t say much more than that, just to play it safe and not jinx things. Still, I came accross a nifty Apple Knowledge Base article that I thought was clever. I’ve actually known about the article for a while now, but I never read it through to the end. I think the example at the end warrants some recognition since it makes the point and does so neatly. How convenient that “apple” is 5 characters long, and “applecomputer” is 13 characters? Interesting…

So, this is something I’ve held in abeyance, but I need to start seriously studying for the GRE. I can aver that my math knowledge is up to par with the challenges I will face on the test, but I need to ameliorate my verbal abilities if I wish to score well. As such, I am assiduously working my way through a GRE prep booklet and I plan to post daily using the new words I’ve appropriated. I will mark such words in bold-type (such as I’ve been doing in this post). Sorry if my posts sound forced or bombastic, but I’m just trying to get these words in to my vernacular so that I will do well. Also, FYI, I already know some of these words, but if it is in the list, so be it, I’ll try to use it more. My goal is to get through five new words a day. Wish me luck!

Today was a busy day for me with regard to updating my blog! No new posts (except this one), but I did a lot on the back-end. First and foremost, I updated to the latest K2 theme (beta two r167). After doing that, I spent some time tweaking PHP and some other code and now I have a photo gallery up! There is a link to it in the header area, but for those too lazy to glance up, here is the link. I have few good pictures of myself, so most of the image galleries are of pics I’ve taken at random events. Oh yeah, if you are interested in knowing what software I’m running, it is called zenphoto, and it’s pretty easy to set up for the most part. Hrm, there was something else I did to the site, what was it…
Oh yeah, I enabled the mod_rewrite() capability in WordPress, so the URLs have all changed, but they look all nifty now! Now if you need to link to something off my blog (yeah, right) the links actually make sense. If you dunno what I mean, check it out by clicking on a link for my archives.
Ok, anyway, I need to add some more albums later, but I think I’ll stop at 5 for the time being. Check them out.
