*Sigh* Grrrr!

One of those weeks. Looks like I pulled some caca outta my bag this time. One thing that makes me sad. Another thing that pizzes me off. First the sad thing. My 14 year old dog is sick. That wasn’t supposed to happen. She’s always been a bundle of energy, nerve, and stubbornness. Now she’s Read more...

Take a Big O’Byte

An online acquaintance and I have been hashing out details about websites. She’s got a lot of knowledge. I often write her with questions, which she always answers, and I usually want to dig deeper. Such was the case when I told her I was going with a host that allowed X (amount of accounts) Read more...

The Computer is My “Friend”

by Host

Well, I do have real live human friends, but the computer is here at my beck and call 24/7. I never had it that good with any human. I have, however, been trying to reorder my days. So instead of falling out of bed heading straight to the computer half asleep, I do other things Read more...

Between a Rock and a Crazy Place

I’ve got to make a serious decision in the upcoming weeks. Do I, or do I NOT, return to the classroom? Just thinking about returning makes my teeth itch. {{{{shiver}}}}  I have to make a living to pay bills, and there are no other jobs on the horizon. If I don’t make a living to Read more...

I Think, I Dream, I Think, I Dream

My 2nd husband and I are divorced. The usual suspects were the cause: money, cheating, etc. I could go on and on about ‘how he done me wrong,’ but instead, I will talk about something he gave me – something good. As his wife, I was able to stay at home for the first time Read more...

I’ve Got a Monkey On My Back

I’m having way too much from with Gimp. Gimp is the graphic software that works like Photoshop. And it’s free! I can’t stay off the computer. I scour the internet for Gimp tutorials. I spend hours working through them, creating, and recreating. Just what I needed – another habit. Well, at least this is a Read more...

CSS, Javascript, Php, and Gimp

Bold undertaking here. I’m “teaching” myself all of the above. It’s slow going. Fortunately, I already had a better-than-basic grasp of HTML, or all of this would seem like a foreign language to me. I would sign up for a class, because sometimes you’re given the most direct way, instead of this catch as catch Read more...

Not Quite Ready for DTV

by Host

in Musings

I thought I was. I bought a cheapy tv to put in my office. Much to my surprise, I had to buy an antennae to go with it. The tv is 10″ – just the right size for the little space on my desk. The color is nice. The sound is ok. It’s all ok, Read more...

If I Knew Where I Was Going, I’d Be There Already

I don’t ascribe to the notion that whatever happens is ‘fate.’ I do believe, however, that each path chosen has just a few outcomes. Hmmm…that statement reminds me of something a friend told me years ago. Let me paraphase: life has just so many scripts. It’s the players that change. Now I like to think Read more...
