first snow, and other wonders
first snowladies and gentlemen, i give you the first snow of the season, courtesy of my cameraphone! that was the early morning of october 13, same date as the buffalo snowstorm. since we only got a centimeter or so, hurrah! snow! bring on the ski season!

i finally fixed something on this site that's been bugging me for a while. when i transferred the site to its new home, i set up an 'oldblog' directory for it, fully intending to set up my homegrown, non-blogger system in short order.

obviously, that hasn't happened yet, and the hackish redirects i used (so ramblinations.com/blog/ woudn't be lost for eternity) are...well, hackish. so today i fixed it! thanks to the magic of apache's mod_rewrite, 'oldblog' has been replaced, in all instances, with 'blog'! and the beauty of it is, when i finally do set up my blogging system, 'blog' can point that instead! hurrah! life is good!

in other news, i used flickr for that image. nifty, and it doesn't use up my bandwidth. (i could use picasa as well, but they're not as well set up for random, individual images. here's hoping they move in that direction!)
