Wednesday, April 29, 2009

found out that my mac's built-in mic works better than any external mic i've tried yet. an interface would be better than BI but this'll do

the site i'm working on is starting to suffer from div-itis. should have planned before jumping in
i love new projects. i like you best in that little black dress. i like to write songs in my head before i sit down at the git box.

Saturday, April 4, 2009

why is a single guy like me writing love songs? you'd think i'd have a topic more relevant to my situation like bad haircuts or being a nerd
why do my songs suck and everyone else's are good? maybe mine are just as good... just different

Friday, April 3, 2009

Israel is the True Oppressor

To The Left of Bill has Moved! Now go to http://version2point1.tk !!! I will still be posting articles here for a short time as a courtesy.

Unfortunately we live in a country (The United States for you retards out there) that thinks and acts illogically more times than you'd want the world's one super-power (at least for now) to act illogically. This lack of logic is exemplified in its stance on Israel and the multitude of conflicts they are involved in.

America is pretty much Israel's yes-man. Their lap dog. This seems ass backwards seeing as how we're the world's super-power. We should be over there negotiating agreements between the Israeli's and Palestinians. I know now that I said this some asshole is going to leave a comment (using a fake email and some jerk-ass name because they're afraid I'm going to spam them because they disagree with me) saying something like this:

"Uh-duh, 'merica is negotiatin' peas agreemen's wit da nice Jews 'n' arab peoples"

(I'm sure some idiot is going to post something along those lines anyway, LOL) Well guess what imaginary commenter? We really haven't done that in decades. What America has been calling negotiation is nothing more than being Israel's lawyer. What began as a non-partisan mission to help both sides turned into the U.S. allowing Israel to run amock and giving Palestine a big fat "Rod Blagojevich" up the anus. Get it? Rod?

Every time there is a conflict between Israel and anyone in the Middle East America tries to play it cool and act like they have nothing to do with it. They try to look neutral and give hollow speaches... Read more at Version2point1.tk

It is done

God created the world in 7 days.

I took 2 months to finish a web site.

It was long, it was hard, but it was satisfying. My only regret is that I may lose readers for some time. But thats all good.

I am very pleased to announce that after so very long the new site is complete.

Welcome to the new "to the Left of Bill" which is now called "version2point1"

Monday, January 5, 2009

to the Left of Bill (version2point1) 95% done

If I keep it up the site should be online by 10.p.m central time. Just finished the wordpress theme. Now on to my Tumblelog.

There are definitely going to be some hiccups when the site launches. By no means am I going to stop working on it once I launch it. You're going to notice a few minor areas were the site is rough around the edges. Rather than putting off the launch another week while I fix these very minor things why not just open it to the public and fix it as issues as I see them or as they arise. I mean, the site works and the layout is 98% perfect so why not use it? Not launching it would be like not moving into your new home because one of the rooms hasn't been painted the right color. It makes no sense. So check back tonight.

As soon as I launch I'll be posting everywhere to let everyone know. In the meantime my feed is and has been up for a week or so now. Check it out while I put the final touches on the site- http://version2point1.tk
Coding-PHP/(X)HTML portion done-on to CSS
Finished the Wordpress theme. Now I either create one for Chyrp or switch to Gelato
My scripts are themed. Now to tackle wordpress + tumblelog. Site launches in two days. Follow progress @ version2point1.tk
