Multitools

I have two multitools now. Like Swiss Army Knife things. Unfortunately, one of them in particular falls prey to the trap of most Swiss Army Knives. That is, you can't get the specific tools out of it use them. In fact, the only way I can get the scissors out of one of the multitools is to use the other multitool. A can opener on that same multitool isn't going anywhere at all, but fortunately, in its large variety of tools, it already has another can opener. Generally though, I think I'm just going to attach the more usable and more portable multitool of the two to my keychain for now. Of course, I've seen multitools that have many more than five extensions, but I don't believe I care enough to get one of those. Specifically, ThinkGeek has one with scissors, a knife, a red LED light, a ballpoint pen, a USB drive, and a file, it appears. Another one allegedly has every tool ever implemented into a Swiss Army Knife, with a total of about 50, in a strange device that looks like the descendent of Edward Scissorhands and Mini-Me.

I have to take 2 tests tomorrow. That should be fun. One at 9:00 over Buddhism and one at 5:30 over 4 chapters in chemistry.

And I should talk to my academic advisor about classes so I can register for them next week. I'll have one less semester hour, it seems. I could take an honors seminar, but I don't know if any of them really seemed like something I'd care about, except perhaps one about what Buddha actually taught, separated from what has been added later, but that seems like something that could be summarized rather quickly, and not require a paper or something at the end. And I'm not sure if I'm going to go with philosophy or programming next semester, but right now I'm leaning toward the programming, contrary to before. Everything else should be fairly locked in - university physics I, calc 3, the second part of my western civ and composition class that I have now, and a required speech class. Interestingly, if I have philosophy instead of programming, then most of my classes will be honors classes, and I'll have to register mostly through the honors department instead of normal registration. But I'm not sure what's going to be taken up. I'll see more about the schedule later.

I think my old blog was erased because I never used it. Oh well, the one entry I was starting with back in November or earlier was pretty bad anyway, as I recall.

So, the main point in trying to run this blog is to see if I can integrate it with Flock, the browser based on a build of Firefox (1.05, I think). It's still build 0.49, so it's still being developed. The idea is that blogging will be part of the browser, to the point that you can select text somewhere, right-click, and then select Blog This! or something similar to post it straight to your blog.

I don't really update my xanga, so I'm not sure that I'd upgrade this. On the other hand, this does seem remarkably cooler than that emo-teen-infested pit, whereas this is more filled with software developers and the like. And they aren't as utterly despicable as livejournal apparently is. But if this integration with Flock works out, I might post more often, as it would be easier to do so. We'll see.
