Photos & Journal Updated

I think I finally have all the photos over the past month’s events resized, color corrected, and uploaded. Now I’m going to cheat and back-date some new journal posts about them. :)

WordPress Updated; Forum Still Not Functioning

WordPress has been updated. Not surprisingly, this did not seem to affect the (non)functionality of the forum at all. I’m looking into finding another solution for the forum now.

Nine Inch Nails Concert

Went to my first NIN concert. I tried to buy tickets as soon as they went on sale. But when I added them to my shopping cart, the price had tripled! Thankfully, my mom was able to get some free tickets :D

NIN

The concert totally rocked. Best concert ever. Seriously. Trent is one geek that I would love to meet. He doesn’t just play his music for the audience – he puts on a complete show. We were in such awe at the combination of technology and lighting effects that he had used… It was amazing. The band was interacting with the background/foreground lighting effects and screens. At one point they even made it look like it was raining on stage!

Check out the rest of the photos on Flickr. They’re not entirely clear or detailed because they were taken with my phone They’ll give you an idea of some of the lighting effects even if they they don’t do them justice.

Not Again!?!?!

Looks like the forum’s cookies are broken on the forum again. And again, nothing has changed so I don’t know why it happened. I might start looking into migrating to bbPress again because this is just getting ridiculous.

Returned Home

So we made it back home! Not too many delays on the way home (unlike the trip out to Cali). We even somehow made it to the airport about 6 hours before our flight boarded (oops). I’m almost over the jetlag and working on sifting through my photos from the trip and resizing them, so keep an eye open for them on Flickr. I’ll also follow up with a journal entry summarizing the trip. :)
