I’m surfing the web with my new Dell Latitude LS laptop–thanks Vicki! It’s funny how a new machine makes the web seem like a new place. I’ve been to download.com loading up on shareware. I might eventually make this a dual boot linux/windows machine, but for now I’m just running Windows 98.
I’m happy with the recent revisions to the tares site. I need to add a few more small things and one more image gallery and I’ll be through with it for a while. My work-related projects have been less fun than usual, but I hope to hit them hard tomorow and get the academy site ready for the start of our fall semester (a little over a week away).
I’ve started using Dreamweaver a bit more for updating older sites. I used it for the image gallery on the tares site. I’ve been using it on the bassbook site. It’s fun. The site management aspect of it is really the best part. It’s also nice to be able to click on any image and see how big it is. And the download time estimations are a very handy thing to have (though I haven’t checked to see how accurate they are). Dreamweaver is the only WYSIWYG design tool that doesn’t insult you for knowing what you’re doing. I still use a text editor (Kedit, for KDE) for 98% of my stuff. But this is a handy tool to have around (especially for image rollovers, which are just a pain to code).
