Well, as you can see, I've done a little updating to my web site. This is about a week's worth of work. The site's layout is done using CSS, and I have tested the index page at w3c.org's web site so that the basic included layout is valid HTML 4.01 transitional and valid CSS. Though, that doesn't mean anything for IE. I also found that some things work just better with tables. For example, the header for the blog stuff is in a table instead of divs. Even when I did it as a table IE on Windows messed up. I couldn't get the table as a width of 100%, so the solution was to make it 99%. Close enough.

Please let me know if you encounter any problems.

Sunday, after church, Fritz and I talked a little bit. I had a few fairly though questions for him, and some of the answers sort of surprised me. Having that discussion made me understand things a lot better, but I still have a lot more to understand.

Today I had my Psych test. I didn't realize, or expect, (perhaps I missed it) that there would be some short answer questions on the exam. I probably would have studied a little harder on some definitions. I guess I learned. After psych, I met up with Colin and the FUG meeting. We got emacs and cowsay to run as init. For those who don't know what I'm talking about, emacs is a command line text editor (sort of has a cult following to some of the hard core users), and cowsay is dumb little program that draws a picture of a cow with letters and symbols that has a dialog bubble that contains specified text.

cowsay "I'm a cow"
 ___________ 
< I'm a cow >

Then, to run it as init means that is the only program that can run. So, basically, when you trun on the computer get get a cow that says whatever. Here are some screen shots of it in action. emacs, cowsay 1, cowsay 2.

Right now I'm with Colin at the UDCC finishing transferring over to the new site and writing this blog entry.
