History, Hebdomad, and Hyperspace

Today was a releif for many people. Quite a few handed in their Historical Investigations because today was the early deadline and I heard many scattered, "Phew, I'm done!"'s. I didn't hand mine in yet, mainly because I was relaxing after my IOP (procrastinating again) and I had still to read through some sources I have. I don't know how I'll get to writing those 1500-2000 words this week (or hebdomad) though: tomorrow I'm helping out with our Can Drive until 9pm, Wednesday I have Art Club and Night Math, and Sunday and Monday I'm in Waterloo, so I wont' be able to hand it in Monday. I'm thinking of either doing it Thursday night and handing it in Friday (but that leaves me too little time) or doing it Thursday, Friday, and Saturday and getting one of my friends to hand it in, which is probably what I'll end up doing.

This weekend I was working on quite a few web-based things! Firstly I want to reccomend StevePavlina.com, it's an awesome site about a bunch of stuff. I find his personal experiments entertaining, well thought-out and rigorously reported on. Just click "blog" in the top nav bar or scroll down and find an interesting topic in the sidebar. I first found his site while researching Polyphasic Sleeping and ended up clicking around some more. It's pretty awesome and a better waste of time than other things on the web.

I also decided to get a domain name for this blog! You may have noticed, ibjourney.tk is now the official address of this blog! As you may know Dot.tk gives away free domain names, and that's obviously where I got mine. As much as I love giving the world information about IB, I'm not willing to spend $4 a month or more for a ".com" or a ".info" etc. domain name. I think ".tk" works just as well and it's free!. I was also thinking of moving off Blogger to another blog hosting site, and I did reserve the username "ibjourney" with both Livejournal and WordPress in case I ever want to switch, but for now I'm sticking with Blogger because it's a lot less hassle. I may also in the future flesh this out into a full website, not a blog, and I want to have the versatility for that. I don't know which blog host will allow that best, but until I commit to that, I'm going to stick with the easiest way and stay here.

I've also decided to start building custom websites. I'll just be building a portfolio for the first little while, so I won't be charging anything, but if you're interested in a website for anything at all, feel free to contact me at ace.ibjourney@gmail.com and let me know what you want! I'm experienced with HTML and CSS, can create custom graphics and am learning Search Engine Optimization (SEO). I will be able to find a free host for your site that meets your storage and bandwith needs, and of course I'll get you a domain name at Dot.tk. If you do want to pay for a ".com" or other domain name, I'll do what I can to find you the most affordable registrar.

PS. Yes, I have gone link-crazy!
