Due to some unexpected car troubles, looks like my savings account will be empty and I will not be able to go skydiving for my birthday.
Back-up plan is currently a Yosemite trip and to tackle Half Dome. Hit me up if you are interested and/or have suggestions for alternate plans involving any items on my bucket list.

I have minimal-to-casual interest in sports, so March Madness doesn’t mean much to me. I would much rather bet on this bracket:

(From Indexed.)
Zombies all the way!
This particular bracket reminds me of a random Tweet I made a while back about how
Zombies:Vampires::Science:Religion
Feel free to wrap your head around that as you study for finals.

A few days ago, I asked for access to the IPhi website again because I had been talking with some people and felt motivated to do some updates.
My first stab at things was an extension for the wiki to automatically link common articles, but it did not go as planned. I managed to fix things, but it really showed me how rusty my coding skills have gotten.
After service on Saturday, I went to sleep for about 18 hours, not including Daylight Savings, and woke up to find that the IPhi website was down. My first thought was that I had accidentally done something to the website, since I keep my keyboard and mouse on the bed and often fall asleep on or near them. Sleep-hacking?! It’s possible; stranger things have happened.
Anyway, found out it was an external attack and consulted with the webmasters on a game plan. Took a stab at a fix, but again, I was too unfamiliar with things to actually fix anything.
Sometimes, I wish I had stuck with CSE. Can’t wait to get home and try again, though. Oh, and good job to the guys who actually got things working again.
