Lost Cause

Can I just say that I LOVE the fact that Chris writes a post about Not writing a post about computers and tech stuff at like midnight last night and then turns around and makes the tech post the very next afternoon! Yeah, thats just who he is and I am learning to accept him the way he is.

Things I’M excited about: My cute nerdy husband that just can’t help himself. :)

Things I’m Excited About…

As I mentioned in my last post, I am still excited about everyday things. What’s amazing is that I’m excited about learning. I’ve always done well in school, but my last years of college, I was hating it. It was just a drag sitting in class, listening to a professor drone about some topic that means little to me or the world-at-large.

However, I have found my own topics to learn, lately, that I enjoy. Besides the PHP and MySQL, I found a website (http://solardreamstudios.com/) with some Macromedia Fireworks tutorials. This guy lays everything out; he makes it so easy to learn. It’s basically a connect-the-dots or color-by-number with the cool level pumped up to about 1,000. Go to the site and in about 10 mins (each) you can have beautiful pictures like this, in the particular order that I like them:


Droplet

OSU chrome with a mirror effect

Button - Nintendo style

Tape with the CRP card


There you go. Yes, I made those all by myself (okay, had a little help from my PC, but still).

Jen, it’s 2 - 0 now.

My Would Be Post

Well, I have been vetoed out of a post. This isn’t really the first time the wife has commented how geeky/nerdy/boring I am to the masses, but this is the first time on OUR site. So I graciously heed to her wishes (does that sentence make sense?).

My new post is about installing a second hard drive on our computer. Now, before you say, “Yeah, that would’ve been boring” (although I know you already thought it), I think it would be helpful to those that are psuedo-tech savvy, as myself. I may post it over on my Xanga site, but we’ll see. So far, it’s only the “draft” stage.

Our weekend was semi-eventful: Our flag football team won twice on Sat., OSU lost, UO lost BIG TIME to Texas, Dallas whooped up on Philly, we had a little family get-together Sat afternoon complete with sandwiches, pickles, chips, dip, and of course, Dr. Pepper.

Lately, I’ve been pretty excited about stuff. Nothing in general, just personal stuff. PHP & MySQL, Trinity holding her head up, Trinity laughing, coming home to Jen at lunch and after work, sleeping next to her too. Just weird personal stuff.

So, in conclusion, I raise my Dr. Pepper to you - to the post that wasn’t.
