Thoughts.

Apologies on the lack of updates over the past few months.  I’m hoping to be more productive on the blog front soon–certainly by mid-June once finals are over–but some personal updates in the meantime:

After a couple days of uploading, tweaking, and tinkering, I think the site–that’s www.ultimatethoughts.com for those of you following along at home–is ready to go.

The RSS feed should have been moved over successfully; additionally, all of the blogspot posts should be forwarding automatically to their corresponding posts here, so hopefully there aren’t any major broken links from the move.

A few of the changes I’ve been able to make with the shift in platform:

Hope the holiday season is treating everyone well.

I’ve been working on moving the site over to its own domain (and off of the blogger platform); once I’m able to finalize a new design template and set aside a chunk of time to work out the kinds, I’ll make the official migration (and post).

The move should serve a couple purposes:

’tis a great season for reading, as students are about to go/are already on break…here’s what’s been on my tap of late.  Would love to hear your good stuff in the comments.

The Definitive Book of Body Language. Really easy to get in to, broken up into perusable chunks makes it a great bathroom/bedroom read. From the perspective of a neuroscience major, I find it fascinating, and from the perspective of a future physician, I find it a useful tool for reading my patients and evaluating their needs (and how they’re responding to my suggestions).  You never know, it could help make you a more persuasive call-arguer.

Two weeks ’til finals; no guarantees on posting schedule until Thanksgiving.

In the meantime, ultitraining has gotten a spate of new writers, Atlanta‘s blog is still rolling strong, and even Match has a new post up in the blogosphere.

Some of you might have had trouble getting to the site yesterday; sorry. I’m contemplating moving the site domain to a www instead of a blogger address, and potentially a shift away from blogger as a content manager, though that’s a secondary concern.

In some of my initial testing yesterday I neglected to turn off Blogger’s forwarding service–hence the temporary lack of access. Again, my apologies.

I’m not planning on having any significant down time when the move does happen, and I’ll be sure to make a note of it as it occurs so there aren’t any surprises. Still have a lot of research to do before I go ahead with all of it (most importantly, trying to arrange for link forwarding so old links here aren’t broken and my own internal links aren’t shat on either).

It’ll likely be a project for my Thanksgiving and Christmas breaks. I may make some minor adjustments going forward (I’ve been keeping the top 10 sidebar list updated every couple weeks), but that’s the biggie.

I’ll try and get some kind of retrospective up before week’s end–we have Friday off from classes for whatever reason (reverse Columbus day?) but a ton of class to make up for it in the first four.

I’ve been limping around since halftime of our backdoor loss to Puppet Saturday. Bursitis of the right knee, methinks. Baller?

More to come later.

Sorry. I’ll try and make it up with something good for Thursday (I’ve got a few posts in the works, but haven’t made time to finish them).

In the meantime, I added a few more links to the sidebar. The Idea of the Day blog is my new favorite daily read.

What’ve you been reading lately, ultimate or otherwise?
