Where I Grew Up
We haven’t been here in two years. The setting is enjoyable. The weather is not. We probably won’t be able to use the pool this week, but I enjoyed taking some photos of the place where I grew up.

Coupon Fail
Maybe I’m reading too much into this. At least we get a free kid’s meal out of the deal.

PHP, CSS, and Layout Fun
I have been trying to catch up. You can only learn so much in three semesters of college, so I try to challenge myself whenever I can. This site is my playground. I taught myself CSS from the most basic concepts to, now, some more advanced customization. I added this blog when I realized I didn’t need another database to add a second Wordpress install. to the site (Domain Direct Hosting only gives me two… cheapskates… but that’s a whole other blog). I figured out how to pull entries from the database and display the posts here. It’s baby steps, but that’s what happens when you’re largely self-taught in anything. I went from using AOL’s Personal Publisher some 13 years ago to pulling source code and teaching myself HTML one line at a time. Once I learned everything I wanted to know, half of it became deprecated. Go figure.
I stopped running my Linux server because I couldn’t find any practical use for it. That system has a dual boot with XP, which I have to use to run my archaic version of Homeseer (server software for light controls).
I am finally content with the look of my site. I still need to apply this 3-column layout to all of the other “main” pages. It will piece together soon, and when it does, I can finally work on some new content.
Drywall gets ripped down. Were unwanted
pests roaming between the walls?
It's challenging to pack for a
family of five and make the long drive to visit family.
It's been eight years, but the negatives
have been scanned and retouched to bring new life to memories.
Searching old floppy disks and forgotten
folders for 90s nostalgia.
