November 27,2002 Because Tony asked about making a web site...and everyone should learn how at some point... I'm putting some links to some great programs that have helped me make my web site/sites nifty. First, I use FTP Explorer to upload files like my images to the Plutonian shore server, affectionately known as Lenore. It's Freeware! If I chose background colors I use a clickable palette, or Boogie Jack's list of hex-codes. Just be careful with the palette don't move your mouse too fast or you'll get a headache. Actually a better choice of color would be a java page. On the bottom it gives you the actual code to get your page looking that way. Easy Thumbnails 2.5 Allowed me to shrink the pictures I took for the USA Buffet and Mandy's Wedding and my Vacation down to a manageable size with a few clicks instead of a few hours.... Also Freeware! Is this a pattern? If you've ever heard of bookmarklets, these are just SO cool. There is a whole page of bookmarklets that make things easier to write web pages. My favorite is the simple table code that allows me to make a great page of thumbnails. And that's about all that I use in addition to straight HTML to write my page. November 16, 2002 So weird dreams seem to be the thing right now. Rep had the weird wolf dream...and last night I finally got enough sleep, and I remembered what I dreamt for first time in a few months. I think this dream had something to do with wanting to see the new Harry Potter movie. I dreamed that I had the huge binders like I did while we were in Delaware and had to move these metal rings off them one buy one and they were all linked. In the mean time there is a golden egg, like those really tiny pieces of Easter egg-shaped candy you get, that fell into a garden and disintegrated. Somehow a plant, much like a patch of poinsettias grew up before my eyes and somehow these rings on the binder had something to do with the flowers. But then one flower bloomed alone and it was different than the rest, still red, but a different species...and I woke up. I wouldn't say that this was a nightmare but a really odd dream. Hey, psychology major buddies of mine, what does this mean? But if you want to talk about nightmares...have you SEEN Michael Jackson's last photos? EWWW, is his nose plaster or necrosis? more to come Mom and Dad's Anniversary Pictures 2001 December and November 2001 Want more?
