New site is up.

My main site is now officially up! The address is
www.timpasch.com
I will be continuing my blog there, however thanks to a new program called MarsEdit I hope to be able to post the blogs here on blogger as well as on my site.
I have been lazy about writing lately however now I hope to begin 2008 with newly inspired writing.
As I have a dissertation to finish I will be writing non-stop...perhaps this practice will assist in motivating me to start early every morning!

Focus the Nation Conference tomorrow

Tomorrow is the Focus the Nation conference at the University of Washington. This is a big event for us at the UW- we are joining over 1000 other campuses in our discussion and search for solutions to Global Warming and it's repercussions. I will be presenting at this conference specifically about the impact of climate change on Canada's Northern Communities. It promises to be an important day for Climate change awareness nationally. I've dropped the program for the UW in the downloads section.

Site is up!

Well, I finally was successful in uploading the site today. This was not an easy task, and after the site posted, there was a whole series of technical issues to work through. While there are still so many details that I am not happy with, at least the structure of the site is in place, and I can add edits later.
Today, in addition to working on the site, I was attempting to overclock my main studio computer. This is an art form, as I discovered, and there is a whole litany of tricks, techniques and equipment designed to achieve this goal of getting more speed than you should out of a computer. Unfortunately I pushed things a little too far and for a while I felt like I had destroyed everything. It turns out that I lost a hard drive however.
Luckily it wasn't a critical one and I should be able to restore most of the data. I learned my lesson though- no more overclocking for the time being.

First Entry

This is my first entry into the new website blog. I have been trying to make a site for quite some time and have finally felt comfortable enough with the software to begin. It is my hope that this site will generate interest in my projects and put me in touch with individuals and groups sharing similar interests and goals, facilitating collaboration.
Please feel free to contact me using the 'contact' page!
This site will become a central hub for my projects, and will eventually host audio, video, and the webstore. The podcasts will also be hosted on this page. Enjoy!
