reenactorNet

This would be the blog of one Marshall J. Wise or "Marsh" to my friends -- it's "Marshall" to the company or others who know me not. If you are friend, then 'tis Marsh. Anywho, this be just my thoughts and bloviations on life, reenacting, the world and other thoughtless provoking crap. Yes, I am a reenactor, yes, I own reenactor.Net... Remember: work to live, not live to work.

*(and yes, look up the word bloviate on google)

Hmmm, "about me" huh? It's kind of boring. I'm a truck driver hauling U.S. Mail for a Postal Contractor. Reenacting Lessee, I am into reenacting... WWI, WWII and Roman. Doing the first two, I portray a German (no, I don't care one bit if you're offended), in the last, I do a 1st Century Roman impression. I find the Roman Empire fascinating. r.Net I have owned reenactor.Net (the biggest reenactor website on the planet) since 1998 and am constantly trying to make it better (for that, I really need 37 hour days). One good thing about r.Net is it allows me to meet and know a lot of really great and nice people who's knowledge just leaves me floored. How I think... Do you really care about how I think? I'm kind of a dork... If you read the blog, you'll see how I think (or don't think, if you listen to a lot of people).

Starting to slide

Wow, It's been a coupla days. Well, I've been busy. A friend reworked the Forums and I have been working to add all of r.Net's content to it. :-0 Yeah, it's gonna be work.

Today
So tired today. But, it's Friday for me. Going to Gettysburg tomorrow w/ Kent. Haven't been in a couple of years -- it'll be fun!! Certainly to get away. Wee is going to her Mom's for a few days and maybe in that time, I can get a lot of the site work done?! I dunno though -- it's a bit intensive and I can only do so much. Am hoping to get the T/A webmasters up to speed on helping. It needs to be someone who is into that time period, that knows it, vs. ME... I don't claim to know but a couple of them and am a bit crispified on one of those.

Change is in the wind!
I am really excited though about the changes on r.Net -- stuff I've wanted to do for years. I really have wanted to make the site into a content management system, but every time I cracked a book on it, my eyes glazed over, little puffs of smoke came out of my ears and the Borders/B&N employees would then come over and tell me to "Wake up and go home." Programming is just a bit hard for me. I'm more visual.

Well, let's hope all goes well, that I can get the articles ported over and the site to present them how I want. That's a big part of the problem... the program isn't as specific as I'd like and I have to learn how to do "end-arounds" to make it show up as I want.

It's great to see you more passionate about stuff and doing labors of love, not duty-bound trudgery that is unappreciated. I'm getting more of the Old Marsh back which is nice.
