Peoii’s Place

In the words of the Internet gaming community at large….

WOOT!

I’ve passed my background check (by some grace of god…), I passed the drug test (gee, I guess they didn’t check for everything…), and I’m now officially an employee of Cingular Wireless. Now whoa whoa whoa folks… I know what some of you who have read this for a while are thinking:

“Hang on a second, didn’t he work for them before?”

Well see, that was working for West, as a Cingular wireless 611 customer service rep. This time, I’m working for Cingular Wireless directly, in one of their local stores. Not only is this a major upgrade from my previous position, but it’ll be very nice working for the company directly. Needless to say, I’m very hopeful this is going to turn into a very fun and rewarding job.

But yea, anyway… one more time for good measures sake:

WOOT!!!

Okay, I’m happy, and I’m done. More later.

Edit Note: I’ve created a new category called “The Job” in which I’ll document my experiences as they present themselves there. Of course, I’m not going to go into any details that would compromise any employee or customer there, but it’ll give me a place to simply talk about the job in an open forum.

In my efforts not to fall behind on software updates on the website, I sat down today in shock and found out that I had missed a couple updates for various software packages… *sigh* Okay, so I went ahead and updated EVERYTHING today. Not only that, but I decided to install a couple new plugins into wordpress. Here’s the rundown:

• Updates
  • Wordpress: 1.5.1 -> 1.5.2
  • Gallery 2: Beta -> 2.0.1
  • Bad Behavior: 1.2.1 -> 1.2.2
• Additions
  • Weighted Words: Basically this is for my own personal curiosity. It shows me what words I use more than others, and allows me to quickly search for words based on how often I’ve used them. You can take a look at my “Word Cloud” over at /word-cloud/
  • WP-ContactForm: Now working over at /contact-me/, you may use this page to contact me via a simple email based form.

And finally, one major change to the website. I’ve decided to un-embed the gallery from the website, mainly because it was becoming a complete pain in the rear when it came time to update either portion of it. So now, the gallery is a stand-alone module, which I think not only looks more professional, but just makes my life that much easier.

Well, that should about do it for the updates today on the website. I THINK I covered everything, though who knows, I tinkered around with it quite a bit. If you’ve got any suggestions/comments on it, please, feel free to speak up! I always like hearing what others have to say regarding it.
