How many times have I told myself that I'm no longer up for more upgrades? It seems though that I have very little say to the matter and it's ironic how I can't say no to circumstance. Maybe, deep inside I'm still rearing for some challenge and unknowingly lies in wait when opportunity comes.
More than the madness of getting to understand the lure of cryptic ism (to THE singular entity whose enigma ruffles me so), that rush of joy at an accomplishment is something that I found interesting in my sedate existence of late. Not that I am getting bad at what I do routinely. It is the pride of hurdling a seemingly insurmountable obstacle that brings renewed excitement; a potent distraction from the baser facts of life.
And so began my quest in the almost forgotten path of html when little brother broached the topic of a niece needing help in web development. The task entails creation of a simple site from scratch; make use of links; no templates.
The online tutorial helped a lot but a sharp eye from an experienced programmer did me well in finding that missing slash or logical symbol to get the site up. Besides html, I did a little photoshop on the side (again to no avail) and used the versatility of powerpoint to design my background images.
As I was pressed for time (I was in a meeting for four hours), KZ did the links as well as text and background formatting, after I copied and edited some texts online.
Three things I gained from this project: learning a hosts of tags from KZ, teaching her how to understand positioning conventions (boy, I was so glad), and helping somebody complete a school requirement (hahaha).
Good day, indeed!
