former student (graduate)
I got together with one of the brightest we’ve had last night. He’s a teacher himself now, in Surin province; he keeps in touch with his classmates (they only graduated this year) by phone. Out of a class of around thirty that graduated, half are in Bangkok doing various odd jobs, a few are teachers, one is in the military, and at least one made it overseas… It made me feel like the manta in Finding Nemo.

WordPress: Configuration and Find & Replace
I’ve basically decided to break all hyperlinks from the past 7 years and am now publishing to the root of this site instead of the /blog directory. Screw it.

Upgrading to MT5
I’ve been contemplating jumping ship to WordPress for quite a while now, but I just haven’t had the time or motivation. So what I’ve decided to do is spend a day upgrading to Movable Type 5 instead… If MT5 gives me too much grief, I’ll just switch to WP. And if it works out well, I’ll have a chance to get used to the WordPress interface.

Dharma of the Day 6/29/1010
In-class: “If you have an afro and I have an afro, it’s perhaps reasonable to expect me to help you out of hairdo camaraderie, but it’s unreasonable to expect the same just because we both have short hair.”

headlights go by
Mina and I are sitting in our house with all the lights off, watching headlights go by. It’s funny how in your own house, darkness and shadows can be so wonderful.
