I just found out about this neat web service that takes long URLs and assigns to them shorter ones; it's called TinyURL.com.
The following is an example of a link that points to my house on Mapquest.com:

Still using LJ? Well you can track my blog there instead of using the RSS feed directly:

I'm testing out a new RSS feed I just installed for my blog:
http://fangor.freeshell.org/blog/rss1.rdf
There should also be a permanent 'RDF' link to this on the sidebar.

That's right, you can talk to a friend over the internet for free! Goto: Skype and download the software. All you need then is a headset and a microphone. It's pretty cool, and I can even use it with a 26.4 Kbps modem connection. There is some communication difficulty, but not too much really.

I went hiking today with Michelle to October Mountain in the Berkshires, though I've recently learned that the mountains are actually in the Taconic Range of the Appalachian Mountains. In fact the trail we took ran rather close to the Appalachian Trail; I believe it was called the Roaring Brook trail; it started at Felton Lake but we had to walk up Schermerhorn Rd. because it was clogged with snow. In fact we almost got stuck in the snow but thanks to our great pushing skills we got out 
Last week we hiked a part of what might have been the Taconic Crest Trail near Williamstown, in the Petersburg Pass, near the Snow Hole. There was tons of snow, up past my knees at times and if it weren't for the cross-country skiers who had packed down the trail somewhat we might not have made it to the top. As it was our pant legs were soaked and our boots weren't doing much better.
Anyway, we're hoping to go hiking at least once a week so we can get in shape to climb some of the Adirondacks' 46 high peaks (above 4000 ft.) this summer!
I also have to give credit to my brother Jason for coming up with an ingenious method of preventing snow from getting in one's boots while hiking - just duct-tape your pant legs to your boots; make sure you're bending your knee while doing this and try not to leave any creases for snow to get in.

My blog archives are acting funny so I have to figure out what is going on. Greymatter is pretty good but it seems to still have quite a few bugs in it.
