Yesterday I went to Spring Internet World 2001. It certainly was a let down from last year. At this time last year, the stock market was at an all-time high and dot coms were springing up all over the place. I seem to remember that one of the coolest things last year were all the new websites claiming to do everything from traditional e-commerce to…
March 16, 2001I have completed a first crack at a newly redesigned Gorn page. I am not 100% satisfied with it, and will probably tweak it a bit more in the coming days. If (and that’s a big if folks) it goes up, it would be the first significant upgrade to the Gorn page since 1998. Amazon has a new honor system where people can donate money…
March 14, 2001I finally created the Europe 1999 Gallery for the Gorn page. It’s one of those things I have been meaning to do, but have never did. I truly want to go back and improve some photos on the site. For example, photos from Sweden are much smaller than the ones for Walt Disney World. The Sweden pictures were my first photo gallery using Photoshop and…
March 13, 2001So Saturday Roger notices that our lovely Earthlink DSL isn’t working. We have had spotty problems since it was first installed last October, but overall have been satisfied with the service. After a full day of no DSL, I finally called tech support around 1am Sunday. The helpful technician instructed me to uninstall all my communications software and then re-install it. Still no luck. Finally…
March 12, 2001Thank goodness the end of the week is here. I don’t know about you, but things have been muy crazy around here. I have been putting in extra long hours at work, and then right when I fall asleep it feels like I have to start all over again. As much as I like sleeping in on the weekends, there are some projects around the…
March 9, 2001Everyone’s favorite crack site, AmIHotorNot.com has added a new feature. Now you can meet selected people. After you vote on someone, their picture shows up on the next person’s page. In the same box, there is a link to “Click here to meet this person”. this takes you to the “Meet me at Am I hot or Not” section of the site. If both parties…
March 8, 2001But I did enjoy a nice meal out with Cory at Miceli’s. No Garrett Wang though.
March 7, 2001I finally got around to reading a magazine that Haim left on my desk. It’s called Web Techniques and it has some interesting articles in it. The January 2001 issue that was on my desk had an interesting article on the building of your web team that is right on target. In a related note, some recruiter called me and asked if I was interested…
March 6, 2001Much testing of the Malibu Luxury this weekend. So far, so good. I know it’s a good mattress when I can sleep for way to long and not be sore or have any aches at all. Also attempted to build sheet inventory by checking out the Strouds Outlet store in Northridge. As expected, pickings were slim for “dual king” and abundant for “California king”. I…
March 5, 2001Malibu Luxury has arrived at the apartment. Boy, what a difference a new mattress makes in one’s life. The definitive test will be tonight and tomorrow when I get to sleep in late. Now that the mattress is in, the rest of the furniture looks a bit low to the ground. Now mind you, I have the same nightstands that I had as a kid.…
