It's Over?

Just like that, my MLIS program is over...two years of working on some project or another just about everyday... and now it's over. Wow. No graduation ceremony for us summer grads, rather anticlimactic. I have learned so much and have used so much of that knowledge--it's been great. I actually understand now why some librarians look at school librarians and roll their eyes--the school library program needs much more technology exposure. Well, off to play with some of that technology.

Webpage Fun

Full panic mode struck earlier today when I got an email from Chris, who said he couldn't see my webpage. I couldn't get the images to display, but I could (finalmente) see my webpage on various computers, in various browsers, so to hear that he could not see it set off the panic alarms. I played with it more this morning and then went off to the hospital again (oh, did I mention, my Dad is in the hospital with a MRSA infection? Not good, although he looks better.). I came back and started to attack my webpage again, then got an email from Chris, who was able to open my page. Whew, what a relief. I am still going to do some work on this, for my own edification.

Sometimes You're the Windshield, Sometimes You're the Bug

Ouch. Do I feel like the bug, or what? One loved one in the hospital with massive complications from a simple surgery. We visited her yesterday. After leaving that hospital, I got a call that my dad was rushed to the ER. Trying to wrangle CSS in the middle of this is not pleasant nor easy. It seems as if my MLIS program up until this, the very last hours of the very last term, has gone so well and now, everything is a fire drill! I just tried to get my images on my website again, by creating their own special folder, but apparently that isn't good enough for those feisty images! Haven't had much success in creating the link for the Thoreau page either. Oy. I've had fun with building webpages in the past, but it's never been like this. Off to persevere. BTW, Al Gore's book was EXCELLENT! I did manage to finish it.

Another interesting article. Good idea for school librarians.

Interesting article. I hope the avatars are clothed, unlike the world into which I was dropped in my "Second Life!"

Serenity Now!

It appears that my webpage is finally "viewable." Unfortunately, the images do not display when I type in the url and view the page. However, they are all there in Kompozer; that combined with having gotten the page to the server and be viewable is an encouraging accomplishment for this morning. Zoomclouds has decided to go goofy--it says I have no saved clouds, it won't display the clouds that are listed as being saved (yeah, go figure!) and when I try to generate a new one, it does what it did before....endlessly pretends to be generating a cloud. Enough for now. Quitting while I am ahead, more later!
