... in which the fool takes advantage of his free time

After fooling around a little bit with the coding for this journal, I find that for some computers, the tag-board is located at the bottom, while on others, its in the sideboard. Curious, I think that this may be a function of the resolution of the screen. Later on, I'll figure that out.

I'm so glad that someone actually bothered to tag me. At least I know that this journal isn't just a waste of bandwidth (or netspace, or what-have-you). Hopefully, when I tell my college friends about the presence of this journal, traffic here would increase. In the meantime, I have to work on the way that this journal looks. If only I weren't such an idiot when it came to programming...

A word of warning to some other visitors to this journal. If you happen to see out-of-this-world stories, do not be surprised. They serve as both practice for my writing skills, as well as background for some of the characters that I play. You see, I am a gamer -- meaning that my main hobby (and semi-profession) is playing games. Sometimes, I engage in a little bit of roleplaying, wherein I create my own character and explore other worlds set up by other people. Imagine yourself travelling alongside the heroes of the "Lord of the Rings", or copying homework from the great Harry Potter. With the right group of people and some inspiration, such things could be possible. So when you see some stories here, please, try to read and criticize.

That's it for the meantime. I'll be using my advantages in the ECE "special room" as much as possible.

... in which the fool attempts to fix things

Well, it looks like things are starting to look better for this journal. For starters, I've managed to get my own tag-board (its at the bottom of the page) so that my friends can communicate with each other quickly as they pass by. Why its at the bottom of the page, well, I'll attend to that as soon as I get used to things.

I just realized that having no classes on Mondays and Fridays can be quite draining... I hope this boredom I'm experiencing in school is temporary, a result of a lack of activity for the first week of classes. We shall see.

For the meantime, other than to have people see something new for this journal today, I have nothing else to say.
