May 2001 - News

May 31, 2001 I am still working on the New Library website.  The final design is approved and now we are setting up the entire site for the new topbar thingy that I created.  I think it looks really kick ass!  I got my new DVD player ... a Samsung brand new with the NUON technology, that thing just rocks more than anything.

May 24, 2001 I didn't have too much time to work on the site, have a lot of things going on.  I kinda put off the A+ book I've been reading to do these other things also.  I am still going to finish the little pipe border I'm working on, but it's also on hold.  I have to add to the www.lorece.com website, and also I'm re-designing the layout to the Gail Borden Public Library website, so I worked on that the last week.  Alright, it took me all of 4 hours to piece together, but give me a little credit.  I posted an advance preview of it at www.bsne.com/library ... also, if you haven't looked, check out the www.elginarea.org website ... I designed the menu bar for that also.

I went and saw Shreck yesterday, it was such a good movie, you can read about it in my reviews section.  What particularly interested me though, was that I got to see it in the new Digital Light Production (DLP) technology!!!!  There are only 3 theatres in the country with this thing, and let me say, DAMN!  The colors were so crisp, it was like watching a DVD movie widescreen and on a 300 inch Television with true THX sound!  If this is the next generation of movies, then I'm glad I'm livin!!!!  No dust scratches, no crappy lighting, no little hairs onscreen, no little yellow bubble in the corner, just pure un-altered Digital Quality!

May 18, 2001 Alright, I know the new border thingy looked bad ... but it's a work in progress ... I had to change the frame borders to 0 ... I had it set on 3 ... I still am tweaking the actual lining up of the bars, what a pain in the a$$!!
It is actually starting to look pretty nice I think though.  If it looks really bad, or you think it's really stupid to have it, then please e-mail me and let me know what's wrong with it.

Other than that, I might get to reviews later, if so, they will be posted below this.

 

May 16, 2001 I am such a bum.  But I swear that I have a valid excuse as to why I haven't updated my page(s) ... I am reading the A+ Certification book by Michael Meyers.  It's an awesome book, but weighs in at over 1,000 pages.  I have put most things on hold until I finish that ... (at work that is).  I've been told I should re-design my page, but won't get around to that for a while.

What I did do though, was put my Resume on the web.  www.bsne.com/resume  - Unfourtunately, you need a password, which I will supply to you if you request it. (and your not a crazy)

 

May 2, 2001 Well, unfortunately, it seems I won't be getting DSL back until Telocity can provide for me again.  Stupid Ameritech will only go to 11,000 ft. and stupid COVAD uses stupid Ameritech for their provisioning, so they only to go 11,000 ft.  ... those bastards!  But the plus side (on a revenge scale) is that it seems that Rhythms is about $800 Million in debt and Covad is about $1.2 Billion in debt.  So maybe they will go down, and Ameritech will upgrade their lines freely and become a monopoly and I will get DSL back.  I don't care if they monopolize, as long as I have DSL!!!!
