Here We Go A-Coding

The instructor for my class doesn't mind tweeting if nobody gets disturbed. As a social media nut even I have limits as to when, and where, to do it. I quickly captured a photo using my WordPress app on my phone. People may tweet, but how about a somewhat-live blog of a ten week course. … Continue reading Here We Go A-Coding →

Meanwhile, In Another Part Of The Forest

Currently working on my Web Development homework aka 'the coding class'. Things went fine until I hit exercise 3. Then... https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/7f/bd/eb/7fbdeb33c8d6b27efddbd2813fea5c45.jpg I will let you know how things go.

A Coding I Will Go, A Coding I Will Go, Hi-Ho the Merry-O

I wrote about crossing my fingers for a spot in a Web Design introductory course. I can uncross the digits as I got the call saying they have a spot.

Voila: I remember one Easter Sunday as a blizzard happened while everyone sang 'Alleluia' for the first time in forty days. While  I look at The Weather Network and John Sauder's (CBC Winnipeg meteorologist) Twitter feed on my morning … Continue reading Spoke Too Soon, Or Spring In Winnipeg →

Morning Has Broken

Music Monday: I’m An Adult Now by Pursuit of Happiness

Last week I gathered my T4, my required receipts, and went to the account to get my taxes filed. I fixed a broken dryer door, and replace a part on my washer. Many people my age either have kids entering elementary school, or kids ready to graduate from high school. Some have married more than … Continue reading Music Monday: I’m An Adult Now by Pursuit of Happiness →

Midweek Geekiness: Stats Magically Exploding, or When Richard Armitage is Your Patronus’

I like to write. I belong to a writer's group, and we published an anthology, I blog here, and now I blog a little more for Red River College's Library. I also tweet. Most of the time things go into out into the world, a few people replying in kind. The comments are great. I … Continue reading Midweek Geekiness: Stats Magically Exploding, or When Richard Armitage is Your Patronus’ →
