Hey Rit, when you have time, I was wondering where you host your external style sheet? I'm trying to customize a new graphics journal I'm creating, (free account) and wanted to insert a header picture. I think I need an external style sheet for that, but not sure where to host it. Any tips? I know you're a busy guy, so no rush.

Never mind, Rit! I got it sorted after all.

Since we're new friends, I get to ask about three. =P

Tell me about: DragonCon, Lisp, and ProgRock

[koinegeek]

Okiedokie :)

DragonCon
A science fiction/fantasy convention ("con") that occurs in Atlanta every year during Labor Day weekend (it used to happen earlier in the summer). Many genres are represented, from Star Wars, to Buffy, to Tolkien, Artists, Technologists, Robot Battles, etc... I primarily go for the various panel discussions and for CosPlaying (costuming). Last year I got to meet quite a few people from the local Tolkien group (Arms of Middle Earth) and Fans for Christ.

Lisp
A programming language that ((contains () (many) ((parenthesis)))). It used to be primarily used for Artificial Intelligence applications. It's not very popular these days but is still used as the scripting back-end to AutoCAD and the Emacs text editor.

ProgRock
One of the many genres of music I love. This one encompasses bands like (in my opinion) Rush, Kings X, Balance of Power, etc. Basically, it's rock on the heavier side with a very strong sense of melody and thoughtful lyrics ("thinking-man's rock").
