Soon is here

Okay let’s get something clear. When I said ‘back soon’, I meant ‘Gimme a month’. So it’s all good really. I’m even 2 days ahead of schedule.
Soookay, what’s been happening here? Work’s fine, the steady computer job is coming to an end soon. The project deadline is in a week and a half and then [...]

Before Houdiniing

I got this term’s timetable and it’s even better than last one’s! I’ve got 2 days of school per week only and a damn straightforward daily schedule at that. A solid 9 to 5:30pm on Wednesdays and Thursdays. Which means I can wait on tables after classes on both nights and Sunday evenings. I’ve even [...]

Oops

Sorry I totally didn’t get back to you. I kinda died from too much activity after that last entry. Worked all weekend but partied as well. Good stuff. Remind me to post separate entries on waitressing and computational linguistics (I finally know what the other job is). One is full on physically and the other [...]

The search for the best text editor (for me) continues

I started out with TextEdit, which comes bundled with the mac I bought last year. I never warmed up to it. I don’t like that the default settings is rich text. Each time I want to paste text in, I keep thinking it’ll strip all formatting (like Notepad). But it doesn’t and it took me [...]

Oh and I can assign values. And I get to use the $ sign. I’m not sure why [...]

Chris is learning CSS #2 (and HTML)

Making a little progress.
Anyone out there willing to lend a helping hand, I am all ears. I welcome all the help I can get!

Chris is learning Dreamweaver #1

You can write on an image on an HTML file! I don’t have to go back to Photoshop and type the text there and save it again! How cool is that!
All I need to remember is to insert this nifty little piece of code where my image is. In this case, it is inside a td valign [...]

Chris is learning CSS #1

My print designer colleague is trying to learn Dreamweaver and Flash at the same time. She’s progressing quite nicely actually, and it’s only been 2 days. She’s done more studying in those 2 days than I have in a year! I’ve been forever trying to learn. I really should pick up the pace.
Anyway, earlier she [...]
