School update #2.

For years I have been saying that me working from home is a BAD idea because.

1. There is to many distractions, like my ham radios are near the computer.
2. I have a lot of programs on the hard drive to play with, that have nothing to do with CAD.
3. I like leaving the house, having a places to go. Even if I end up back in side for a few hours.

It turns that the idea of working at home on my CAD class work, was good after all. I think I've made great progress so far, and I'll be ready to head back to school soon.

After all I did have this computer built to do CAD work, and not just as a play toy!!!

Broken phone headset.

For years I've hated having to hold a phone up to my ear, so Christmas of 2005 momma bought the Panasonic KX-TCA60 Headset for me. I Love it, I never want to hold another phone again. But for some time now it has been cutting in and out a lot. Okay not a big deal. I don't talk on the phone this past Friday night I picked it up to answer the phone and the all plastic headset snapped in two places, so in the trash it went. Don't they build non disposable any more?

for now I'm using mommas AT&T headset, and it's comefee, looks like I owe her a new one. Now if my Logitech Premium Notebook Headset, I have for the computer could work on phones I'd be happy, this thing's pretty stout.

TA truck stop visit.

My uncle, long haul truck driver was coming through town, this past weekend and my dad asked if I'd like to go with to the TA truck stop for a wile. Growing up I loved checking out those big trucks. As dad and I were coming up to the truck stop, while still on the freeway I just how big it had grown. It's been some years when I stop there. There were trucks of all kinds of course. My uncle said later that they may have tripled it by now.

I didn't think about it until dad asked later, I had fun? I Guess I did because seeing all these trucks lined up made me feel like a little kid a little bit, and remembering a few trips in a truck or two with dad. Even today as an adult I can tel you model of truck is what and most of the time can tel you what decade the truck in, as well on accation give you a year of a truck.

website updates and edits.

After trying out a lot color schemes I have nailed it down to six different looks and two different CCS layouts. At this point time I see no point in digging much more into HTML code, using simple HTML code at this stage of my website designing evolution. Now it's time to have loads of fun with css. Wish me luck, I hate having to code so IE is happy.
