It was not fun nor is it done but all the kids are doing it these days, so I thought I'd give it a whirl. Nothing I'd rather be doing than editing source code on a badly designed setup that seems to be constantly in the midst of erroring out. Oh wait, that's how I spend the rest of my time too...
Urgh.

Oh, man, sounds even worse than I thought, but I've gotta try to do that too. Or, more likely, bribe one or more of my young employees to set it up for me.

Help is good. It is dismal - a setup only a 12year old could love. Go for the templates. I'll send you the info I scavenged from other folks when you're ready to try it. :-(

Yeah, Myspace is still at the bottom of my list behind:

BritBand
Anubes
IndieMusik
Popspace.co.uk
Livejournal
SoundClick

Lame, but people seem to like it. WTF? OMG! N00bs!

Worst bloody design and setup I've ever seen. Get a template first - you'll be happy you did. Bleah!
But on the bright side, Nicola Griffith 'friended' me so I feel all special about that. :-)

MySpace frightens and confuses me. The only other comment I have to make is to get that Tom guy off your friendslist.

Ah, Tom is the help desk guy. I'm stuck with him. He makes a wholesome contrast to my other interests/colleagues and so forth, I think. Plus it's impossible to imagine me knowing from anywhere except work. :-)))
How's NOLA?

Heehee!

It's going OK! I am officially up to my eyeballs in work. My main challenge right now is finding a good co-op/farmer's market/etc. People keep pointing me in the direction of Whole Foods. I miss my Mississippi Market! I am having better luck with just happening upon farmer produce stands here and there, but that requires some tooling around in the car.

To be fair, the one big farmer's market near the quarter is under construction at the moment, although they are having a creole tomato festival down there this weekend so I must go check it out.

Very fun! Looks like it'll be a fun time. :-)
Did they have a main farmer's market before Katrina?
I hear you on the eyeball marker part; it's been insane here too.

Urgh - stupid browser crashed. That was me. :-(

Yeah, it sounds like the flea market is always there and then the farmer's market sat right beside it. Not sure if it was an ongoing thing or just on certain days.
