You know I had to bring it up 😀 I’ve been playing on the OpenAI website when time permits, and I’ve been doing some looking/research at how it affects cybersecurity. It’s not all fun and games. My oldest and I were talking Saturday night about ChatGPT. Some of our conversation made me think. I’ve used […]

I’ve suddenly started getting marketing texts and emails asking if I’m interested in web design services. First, I am a designer and developer. Maybe my site isn’t the best design, but it’s my playbox and I am working on another design already since I wasn’t entirely happy with this one Second, do not text someone […]

Comicon is here in town this weekend. It was good, but it feels like it’s missing something this year. The SCA did have fighting inside this year, so that was fun to watch. My daughter dressed (cosplay) as a character from one of her favorite anime shows. There were a lot of kids dressed as […]

That was in 1995. The year after I started MUDding. It doesn’t seem like it could be that long. I’m listening to a […]

I finished the book last night. I’ve sent it to someone for their opinion and I’ve started outlining the next one(s). Doing this keeps my mind busy, and I’m not letting it interfere in the job hunt. So far I’m still applying for work from home jobs. There’s nothing available here that I qualify for […]

Today, I’m really missing my web developer job, and the coworkers I had back then. I am working my way through a web development boot camp on Udemy, and she started touching on wire framing websites. This is a technique that I haven’t used in years, but it helps you determine the layout of a […]

This picture just tickled my funny bone, though my youngest just rolled his eyes. He got his sense of humor from me, but sometimes not so much. Then there is this. I love Airplane. Laterness

I’m just going to geek out here for a minute or two. I have been doing a refresher on HTML and learning CSS since I never really got into it when I was designing sites in the early 2000’s. I think CSS had really just started coming on the scene when I stopped with the […]

I’ve owned this domain a long time. It was the first one I bought for myself when I started in web development in the early 2000’s. I bought a second domain in 2002 or 2003 (I’d have to look at WHOIS to remember when, but I’m leaning toward when I was making and selling candles). […]

On Friday I decided to start doing some real WordPress training instead of just the dabbling that I’ve done over the years since I started this blog. I’m kinda excited. I haven’t done any major programming since I left my web design/programmer job in 2003. My plan is to start freelancing so I can work […]
