So... Private posts. I've been wondering about them for some time. There's stuff I'd like to share, such as story ideas (woah, yeah, you heard me right) and other things that I consider sensitive material but still want to share with the people I trust won't steal them. I might be a little paranoid, but hey. This is the internet. Whatever I post here is being mirrored and replicated and blared across the entire planet. I don't want just anything sitting up here, but I still want to share things in a central location for my friends to peruse if they want.

However... To do something like this? I'll need to incorporate the Wordpress user system... Meaning that you'll have to log in to see these private posts, and I'm wondering just how many people will actually want to go through all that trouble. (Especially if I don't post a lot of private stuff.) It'll be relatively easy for me to implement, but still... I know how I feel about sites that require a log in, but I also look over it to read blogs that are locked to a friends list.

These kind of posts barely work... But I'm wondering how many people would put up with a user system to see more content? Granted, in most cases, you'd only have to sign in once and cookies and auto-complete would take care of the rest. But would you use it? Huh-huh-huh? Naturally, I would want your passwords to be strong... On the bright side, if it's a complex password that you've forgotten, I can easily recover it for you, so it's not like losing an administrator password.

I can think of maybe four people off the top of my head who I'd want to add to this list, and who would most likely not mind the extra effort, but... I still would like your input!

Ahh... College is (marginally) better today. Even though my Server 2003 stuff was late, I went ahead and did it all... Maybe they won't notice the submission date. Hey, it's happened a few times before. They even told me I would get half-credits on an assignment because it was late, but I think the assistant missed the memo and gave me full credits for it. I wasn't going to complain.

By far, the most complicated is English Composition. So meticulous and vague. Right now, we're supposed to be giving explanations of our "career choice", and then respond to two other posts and give "new ideas" into that career choice. Blargh. Plus, I have to write an entire paper on my "career choice", complete with sources and interviews and I need a first draft this week. I don't even know how to write a proper bibliography with sources, meh. They say the book explains it, but knowing the current state of my classes, it's all vague nonsense with no real examples. (Or in the case of English, literally 100 pages of examples.) My weekly reading is nearly 200 pages a week, which, admittedly, I skip over a lot of the examples. I read a lot, and I write a lot. I'm very good at both, I just don't know how to write "officially". But I managed to get three people in on my interview! Capella, Jesthar and Iaian7... And geez, do I have information to work with now. I was away when each of you signed off tonight, so I didn't get a chance to thank you. But... THANK YOU.

Vista and Server 2003 and History is all easy, just a lot of memorizing and proving you know the stuff... Lots of simulations and quizzes and pre-tests and short papers. The simulations for Windows are laughably easy and I was able to very sleepily burn through all the simulations that go through how to add users to Active Directory and how to sign in... And how to click the OK button... And how to use the Run window... Repeatedly. The fun part came when I was actually allowed to use a Java remote desktop application to connect to an actual remote server running Server 2003, but it was still boring and not very new... Still, I had to prove I know this junk.
