Woes of a part time web designer

Yesterday I spent most of the day making some relatively minor updates on the Saint Julian's Cat Care page. The main problem was

that I couldn't remember the username or password. It had been a couple of years since the last update. We really need to update more often than that. Maybe have a picture of the week and/or a news section that gets updated weekly. Maybe I'll see about embedding a blog in the site so that Shera or Vera can easily update news as frequently as they want.

I guess I should point out that much of my time in front of the computer yesterday was really spent working on a few graphics for the site. Shera had sketched out some pictures a while ago at a time I was really busy, so they got set to the side. So, I had to relearn how to use the program I used to turn her logo from a sketch into a vector graphic so I could do it again. Then I realized that the images I'd uploaded to the CafePress store weren't quite right so I had to recreate all of them as well. Sometimes it sucks to want to do things right.


I think today I need to spend a little time outside with my son. Since tomorrow I'll be spending time teaching a couple of technophopes in my department how to create video podcasts.

Maybe I should Start Blogging

Well, I already blog, but its all work stuff. I originally set up Vox for a personal blog, but that was back when it was in a somewhat closed beta. Now that people are actually here I suppose I should start using it.

I've been pretty busy this summer so far. Here's the capsule version. I designed and ran a week+ long technology boot camp for teachers. Additionally, I've been continuing to build my web presence so that maybe I can get other schools to pay me to run professional development for them as well. Last week Shera and I went to San Antonio. I went for a conference, Shera went for a vacation. This week I've been working on throwing away stuff we don't use/need.

Today the main focus has been the basement play room. It has accumulated years worth of Happy Meal toys and such. It's mostly done. It will become a multi-use room. There will still be toys, but I will be setting up an electronics workbench and or Mad Science Station!!!!

Well, I suppose the cleaning will not finish itself.
