Everybody I would like you to meet Dakota, Dakota this is everybody. We got Dakota last weekend from a local Pet Smart that, along with an organization named Every Creature Counts, are trying to adopt several hundred cats and dogs that they saved from being euthenized in animal shelters in Mississippi. Dakota is a lab mix and loves to run and harass my dogs - surprisingly even my Saint Bernard who he seems unafraid of despite the fact that she out-weighs him by more then seventy pounds. In my opinion any animal organization that saves even one animal from termination deserves a round of applause. Like any animal rescue place they are always on the look-put for donations or volunteers, if you are interested go here or click on the PayPal link on their website and if are interested in adopting a cat or dog give them a call.
Snowflake in the Snow
2009-11-29
With four days off I made a vow to work on the website a little. Well, I am, but I have waited until the last moment, but at least I did something. I am working a picture box that I think will be a cool way to display pictures, but this might take a while as this new gadget relies heavily on JavaScript and JavaScript is not one of my strong points - but I am learning. So in the mean time enjoy this picture of my Dog. This is Snowflake. I tried to get one of Snowflake and Maggie (my other dog) but that is easier said than done as they are always chasing one another, and Maggie being a bit fast than Snowflake, has a tendency to keep her distance when playing keep-away with the tennis ball.
Here's the Plan. . .
2009-10-28
There is no plan, I just needed an attention grabber for this blog entry. I would like to announce, however, that I did get more accomplished on this website and will be making an update here shortly - it helps when it snows so much you can't go to work leaving you with a day to do. . . whatever you want. Basically I added an About page which includes my twitter feed, not that I am one that is into the social networking stuff, but I thought it would be a cool thing to have included on my website - and soon it will be. Also. . . that's pretty much it, like I said it is snowing here today so not much to do besides work on the website, read, and play video games - I love when it snows. And now I am going to go play some video games.
Back in the Saddle
2009-10-18Well, I'm back. I had been meaning to keep this website updated but things happen. I wanted to work on things last fall, but work got busy; and then I wanted to work on things in the winter into the spring and then. . . well, life happened. But I am dedicated now and more focused and looking forward to getting things done here. If you don't notice any major changes for a while even though I have declared that I am back, that may because I am doing work on the back side or administrative side of this website. On the admin pages I have the functionality to add blog entries as well as some added features that are forthcoming. One thing I will be adding soon is a quick blurb on Web Development and layout regarding CSS. For some time now I have been struggling with the layout of some pages here and how they are constructed - using CSS and table less layouts. Furthermore, this past weekend I sat down and was determined to not give up on resolving certain issues until they were fixed. To make a long story short, one biggie in particular has been fixed which made all my efforts on this first week back all worth while. I will be posting the issues that I had and how I fixed it in the coming week.
