Continuing with the development of this blog, I’ve tweaked and edited it by adding a few more cool plugins and creating a new smiley set to replace the default one. The gallery is now a bit more functional and a lot easier to administrate. Hopefully I can get some more content in there as well. As for the smilies, if you have used trillian before, you should be familiar with the new set I made. I probably missed a few of them, but the ones I use are activated.
If anyone has been following this blog so far (I think I’m the only one… ) then you’ve probably also noticed a full tagging system for posts, the random quote at the top of the page, and the neat spoiler plugin used in my Lost recap post. Anyway, look forward to more photos, recaps, and useless posts (all one or two of you).
So it’s the end of spring marking the end of the second season of Lost. Although this season hasn’t been as good as the first season, it still is one of the better shows on TV today. Actually, this year’s season finale answered a lot more about what’s going on at the “island”. To set the scene, the finale takes place roughly two months after the passengers of Oceanic Flight 815 crash-landed (9.22.04). Some of you might not have seen the episode so I’ll hide the specific stuff under a spoiler tag.

- “I think we found it.” Could someone finally have found the island?
Anyway, I think this is probably the best Lost episode in a while considering how much information they solve, yet introducing more mystery for season three.
So I finally got back home late Monday night and didn’t have a chance to put up the pics quickly, but as promised, here are some pictures at I took during both the general graduation for all students and the specific graduation for computer science graduates. The first graduation was so crowded that the only person I could actually find was my brother (planned rendezvous point), but really nobody else. We also got there a little late so I ended up taking most of the general graduation shots from the upper-deck far far away from the students.
The second graduation was a little bit better in terms of traffic, but we had to rush a bit at the end, so I couldn’t take pictures or meet everyone. Overall, I was a bit disappointed that they put the Computer Science graduates in the dusty, old Armory instead of the Clarice Smith Performing Arts Center like I had mine in. I guess mostly it’s because there wouldn’t be enough space to hold everyone, but they should have picked some place with better acoustics. All of the pics are located in the Gallery (two albums, one for the individual graduation, one for the general graduation). Anyway, hopefully you guys enjoy the pics!
Even though I’ve graduated already, I still have acquaintances back in school. Many of you know that it’s the end of the semester this week and some of you will either graduate or begin a Summer of slacking (you know who you are!).
I give a big Congratulations to all of you guys! For all of you at UMD graduating, I’ll be on campus for the big event. Since I graduated in the Winter, I’m pretty sure that the Spring graduations are a bit more festive and jam-packed with people, so it sure will be a sight! Hopefully this time they will have something better than a few waiters carrying around trays of cookie with people huddling around them. Even with lesser people for the Winter graduation, I could barely get a cup of water to drink or a cookie without being bumped around by hordes of people.
Anyway, lots of you know I’m a big of a photog so on Monday or Tuesday I’ll be posting some pictures so watch this space for my photos. [edit] I’m looking for a nice plugin to display all of them so it might be until the end of the week until all of the photos go up.
Today I customized the CSS code for more suitable colors instead of the lavender that the original theme had. I also added some web badges to the bottom of the sidebar. So far everything is looking pretty good, but I want to add a custom image to the top as well as scrounge around for that spoiler plugin.
Tonight is also the season finale of the hit TV show Prison Break so make sure you watch it. I’ll probably be posting a recap of it either tomorrow or Wednesday as well as some insight on the 24 episode following Prison Break. Unfortunately there’s a Presidential Address on Immigration at the scheduled Prison Break/24 block so everything is bumped back 20-30 minutes.
Last thing, Good Luck to everyone at UMD on their finals. 
Edit [5.16.06]: Found a really good ’spoiler’ plugin (edited it for XHTML validity) and got the random quote generator to work perfectly. There probably won’t be many coding changes from now on except for maybe a new plugin every so often if I find a use for one.
Edit [5.17.06]: Modded the theme code a little to include the posting times of both my posts and everyone else’s comments.
Edit [5.19.06]: Fully converted a new theme (K2) to my liking and added a bunch of new plugins.
