I have this idea in my head. I thought it was a great idea yesterday. I think it’s a really good idea today. I want to know how I would feel about it tomorrow. Or the day after that. I’d like to knock it around my head some more before I act on it.

I am given to rare impulses but when I do I’m always rearing to go and “Do it!” my mind screams. I acted on one of these impluses half a year back and that was a disaster. Big disaster.

So now I want to step back from the thought a moment and reassess it. I don’t want to take a leap again because that gaping hole just might swallow me for a second time. The feeling was not pleasant that first time.

I came to the bathroom and there was a maintainance guy who was cleaning there. The moment he saw he me scuffled away and went to clean the men’s room on the other side. I looked at his cleaning things; the mop, the buckets of soapy water, the garbage. And then I remembered the importance of finishing college and thanked God that I managed to do so.

Not that I’m saying that finishing college is an absolute must, nor that a job in maintainance is something to laugh about. But we are in hard times, and not all people can be successful with only a high school or no education to back them up. That takes tremendous drive and perseverance and not all have that.

So, my hats off to all those hardworking people out there.

Thanks to my parents as well, for getting me through everything. =)

Yey! It’s going to be my birthday in less than twenty four hours. I’m going to be -beep- years old.

-silence-

-sudden realization-

What?! I’m getting a year older again? Then why the heck am I acting like a twelve-year-old still? Snap out of it, you!

My passive self: I can’t help it! *holds head in hands* I stopped counting my age when I became sixteen!

I’ve finally managed to get around in implementing Apache’s mod_rewrite function for one of my fanlistings, namely my Cho Hakkai one. There was a lot of experimentation plus some trial and errors before I got it right.

One of the errors seems to be that since the new URLs were transformed from

http://hakkai.winglica.com/members.php?mode=members&cid=163

to

http://hakkai.winglica.com/members/cid/163/

that my server decided to get finicky on me.

I have to say that the whole thing is just too picky. In some cases, a trailing slash gives out an error while in some cases no trailing slash gives a 404.

Not to mention that I have to state the absolute URL for my images and style sheets because, the mod_rewrite rewriting the URL into folders, relative images don’t work on those ‘folders’ anymore.

Sigh. But I do suppose the whole process is worth it; as long as the Hakkai love grows. ^^

Also finished rewriting Kohaku of Spirited Away now.
