In progress

Caught up with marking my HTML student's web sites, nine so far. Our domain name is propagating through the name servers, should be online by the weekend. I put a place marker page there with another new Paint Shop Pro background. I am 100% certain that no other

Latin and layers

Created a few new web page backgrounds with Paint Shop Pro 7. Amazing what you can do with a pattern fill, colorize, and a semi-transparent white layer. Paul got the tree component on Chronicle working. I loaded all my existing Blog entries in, so both programs have a complete

A home of our own

Registered a domain name and signed up for domain hosting. Permanent Internet real estate. Paid web hosting. A home of our own. http://www.quanta.f2s.com/ will be moving, it may even get a redesign. Saw "Ocean's Eleven," very good film.

SSN

My Social Security Number finally arrived! I am not a free person, I am a number! Woohoo! The last obstacle between me and a job is no more. And it only took 4 1/2 weeks, instead of the two I was told. Got a lovely java compiler message the

Load and Save

Wrote the XSL transform stylesheets to turn Chronicle's XML output into PHP pages for upload. Paul found some FTP code we can use. Next thing to do is create an ExportEntry class that extends DiaryEntry and adds system locale specific day and month names. Then see about loading.

Caffeine overload

Never eat a piece of caffeinated candy after midday if you want to sleep. The St Louis Rams football team beat the Green Bay Packers team 45 to 17 yesterday. A 28 point lead is almost embarrassing. Watched it at the Pageant, just off U City loop, with Sarah and

Snow, snow, quick, quick, snow.

Woke up to about three inches of snow today, but nothing on the road or pavements thanks to the salt crew. It's still coming down., but I don't think it'll be staying.

Guideposts Magazine

Got a copy of the January issue of Guideposts Magazine in the mail. They are starting a series on depression, and list three websites in the article sidebar: National Foundation for Depressive Illness (www.depression.org), National Institute of Mental Health (www.nimh.nih.gov), and "For a Christian

Bah! Humbug! And hosting too.

Surprise surprise, it was a stupid oversight that was messing up my database connection, but I still have to rework the text panel/data entry section that's been largely untouched from day one. Paul mentioned the nightmare concept "Gridbag layout" for added prettiness. Rather him than
