Finally … the 2005 racing season starts tonite. The pre-race for the Bud Shootout is in about 20 min. I can’t wait. I’ve got my bracelet all ready to go. And I won’t be on the computer once the race starts … silly superstition … Can’t wait to see Dale Jr back on the track. And TrackPass from NASCAR.com is free this weekend, so I can listen to the in-car audio. I only use it when it’s a free preview of it. I’m not gonna pay the outrageous prince they charge for it … especially when I read so many people having issues with it. Honestly, I hate NASCAR.com, but where else am I going to get my NASCAR updates. They really need to make their site more user-friendly.

Oooo … it’s down to about 15 minutes now … (do I really type that slow? no … just getting distracted by the tv … LOL). Better go get ready for the race.

I FINALLY got my Dale Jr and Chance 2 fan sites updated for the 2005 season. I mean … the Bud Shootout is tonite!! I just haven’t felt like working on my own sites at nite after working on other people’s websites all day at work. I almost decided to shut down both sites completely. But I can’t do that.

I did realize one thing … I am SO GLAD that I converted this blog to WordPress. The race reports section of my Dale Jr site is powered by MovableType. Well … that will be changing this weekend. I went to update the templates for the new season and rebuild. Well … it didn’t work. I get ’server misconfiguration’ errors. The error log say “error: file is writable by others”. WTF?!? All I did was a minor change and then hit rebuild. That rebuild thing always pissed me off anyways. Well … it’s time I whipped up that editor that I planned quite a while ago for the race reports. Then I’ll get rid of MT altogether. Guess that’ll push back my plans to play with WP 1.5. Oh well.
