September 08, 2002 Monticello, Indiana, USA
Today I went for what will most likely be my last run through the vast cornfields of Indiana, getting in a good seven miles. Other than that, there isn’t much else to do, so I’ve been working on the website. I decided to apply the KISS principle to the website, and deleted allot of the default crap that came with Movabletype, such as that silly calendar. I also changed the way the latest entries are displayed, and the country indexes. You now have to click on “more” to see the whole entry, then you can jump forward and backward from entry to entry, without having to look at a huge page of text. Hopefully this makes sense. Let me know what you think.
I just booked my first night’s accommodation at Auckland Central Backpackers, for $20 NZ, which is $10 US. You can’t beat that. I will get there at 5:30 am after 14 hours of flying, so the plan will be just to try to stay awake that first day.
