I take full responsibility for the melodrama in those 'Coding Saga' posts. It will take a few week to fully process the class. One one hand if I looked at my first assignment, then my last project, improve peeks out in a few places. A little more time, more dedication could make things better. If … Continue reading The Coding Saga Reaches Its Epic Conclusion
It's week nine of this ten week course. Mentally, if my brain had feet, I have one foot out the door. Add one other thing to academic fatigue - Hannibal starts tonight. When I stayed home those two weeks in October, I caught up on the first two seasons. As Hannibal ate the rude in … Continue reading The Coding Saga Almost Ends
The sands begin to run through the hourglass. With three weeks left in my course, I spent last weekend pondering the age-old question what the (bleep) was I thinking? I learned a lot from my course, and I just learned the biggest lesson of them all: take something you enjoy. My brain kept thinking about keeping my … Continue reading The Coding Saga Continues: Home Stretch Time and Issues About Timing In General
It's week 5 of the 10 week course. I have part B of my design document to work on, and my Autobiography Page will submit as of this writing. Before tackling our final assignment, it's a small one to apply what we learned. The verdict as I did it? Some things stick, others require poster … Continue reading The Coding Saga: Half-Way Point
Post writing in WordPress has two options: I create using visual most of the time. I started to notice the code in HTML mode as I embedded rdio tracks or Youtube. I already had images, or other such items, and I noticed the coding arrangement. Beyond paragraphing, bold, and italics, plus some headers, codes for … Continue reading The Coding Saga Continues: Now I Know What Some of This Stuff Means
I have some mugs that go with my dish set, and these can hold 355 ml, or 12 fl oz for Americans. The green mug over here holds a touch more, but I notice it comes out if heavy duty work needs caffeine. My plans yesterday, and the day before that, and the day before … Continue reading Tap-Dancing Gremlins On My Chest, and A Week 2 Hiccup
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
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. At least I did the three exercises, with the rest of my week 1 homework rounded out with reading. I also need a website idea. Get … Continue reading Meanwhile, In Another Part Of The Forest
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. It's a good deal: Work pays while I wait for a spot after students register. It's a fair exchange. I will have my coding skills … Continue reading A Coding I Will Go, A Coding I Will Go, Hi-Ho the Merry-O
*Sigh* I never get tired of that picture: The computer at the learning commons help desk, the technical department I work at twice a week, switched out their towers. The new CPU has Windows 8.1, but I save my work on a stick, attached to my lanyard around my neck. My office computer, a laptop … Continue reading Midweek Geekiness: Technical Support
