Oh, The Things We’ll Do For Free

If I was working as a WordPress installer, I could have racked up some serious overtime pay, but as it is, doing this for myself, I’ve racked up mucho hours and bloodshot eyes. I hate NOT knowing how to work situations that affect me directly. (I’m sitting here trying to remember if I’ve ever put Read more...

Blog Home – Starting All Over

Those of you who have visited my site in the past are probably wondering what the heck happened. Well, it was upgrade time, and in spite of my perceived comfort level with websites, I found the whole process tedious and time-consuming. I spent hours uploading, downloading, testing, and got NOTHING! My site still said I Read more...

It’s Here, and I’ve Already Used It!

My first new toy in a long, long, time. I came home from Books A Million to find my Wacom delivered to my front door. After I got over the fact that there was only one strip of packing tape, and it was coming off, I was elated. I got my Wacom, I got my Read more...

Waiting For the Mail

Waiting for the mail Have I mentioned that I’m absolutely hooked on web stuff? I enjoy tinkering with various programs, learning how to build good sites, working with graphics, and all that. I have several sites in process. They’re fun for me. I hope when I get them up, they’ll be fun for others. And Read more...

These Past Three Hours

Today, I was busy trying to learn how to put a Joomla site together (whew, steep learning curve for me), and as usual, when I’m not ‘getting’ a thing right away, my mind tends to wander. So it wandered to insects and PETA, Barack Obama and my life. Hang in there, I’m about to explain. Read more...

Resolution

My buddy is gone. I had to have her put down. She had wasted away to fur and bones. I will miss her. I do miss her. I miss the sound of her tags on her collar. Sometimes I imagine I still hear them. I miss her coming to me while I’m on the computer Read more...

*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”

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...
