My firewire card arrived yesterday and it works great. For the non-techies out there, this is what I needed to attach my digital video camera to my computer. Now I can use my computer to edit movies.
This is actually my second firewire card. The first one I got was defective, but luckily I ordered it from NewEgg.com and they’re very good about taking returns.
Now when I get a little free time maybe I’ll put some movies here. Anybody know what you call a gallery of movies?
The students were back at school today. Whatever happened to summer vacation? I guess taking classes four days a week will do that to you. I did manage to make three A’s and a B so I guess that’s not too bad.
I’m taking three classes this fall – two on Tuesday and Thursday afternoon, and the other Thursday evening. Luckily they’re all Computer Science classes so it shouldn’t be too hard on me.
I see no one commented on my cloud picture. Either it wasn’t worth talking about or everyone stopped looking after a month with no updates. I actually thought the picture of the eclipse on the piece of paper was interesting.
Oh well, my work order list was 6 pages when I got to work today and I managed to get it down to 5 pages by quitting time. Maybe if I get some sleep tonight I can mark off another page tomorrow. Hopefully the school district will hire some help for me soon. It’s kinda tough being a tech department of one…
For some reason I’ve always liked taking pictures of the sky. Clouds are just fascinating to me. Yes, I still sometimes see shapes in the clouds.
Anyway, a few months ago (June 10 to be exact) there was a solar eclipse that was visible in the our part of the world. Paige and I went out to the walking track to get a little exercise and see what we could see.
Unfortunately, the sun went behind some clouds, and then set, before we could really see the eclipse. I did take a few pictures of the clouds that evening, and we looked at the eclipse using the old pin hole through a piece of paper trick.
I’ll eventually add a sky gallery to the site. I’ve taken lots of sunset pictures and just random cloud pictures.
In other news, I don’t have to go back to school until August 26. I really needed these two weeks off after taking four classes in the past two months. Also, maybe I’ll have time to add some more stuff to the site.
Yes, even Max and I get sleepy sometimes. Paige says that we look alike when we sleep. I’ve added some pictures to the Sleeping gallery so let me know what you think.
I should also congratulate Ben and Paula. They were married last Friday. We went to a reception at Ben’s mom’s house yesterday, but we forgot the camera so there are no pictures. I’m sure no one wanted to see pictures of me eating shrimp anyway.
There aren’t very many pictures of me on the site, so I thought I’d post one that Paige took a few weeks ago.
I hope you like the shirt as much as I do…
I finally found enough free time to upload some more pictures tonight. These are pictures of Max right after his first trip to the groomer.
I have lots more pictures to post, hopefully I’ll get some more done before next weekend.
The best part about using a program to automatically manage your home page is the way that it reminds you that it’s time to post something.
Whenever I visit our homepage and find it blank, I know it’s time.
Wow it’s been a long time since my last post. I’ve been so busy with school and fits that I haven’t had time to do anything else.
Paige went out earlier this evening and took a few pictures of the flowers around our house.
I’ll have to post more stuff later. We still have some pictures of Max with bows in his hair and a few pictures of us trying to look at the eclipse.
You asked for it, so here they are. I’ve added two more galleries to the site. The first contains some pictures of our friends, including embarrassing pictures of Michael like this one –
I’ve also added a few pictures of our new puppy, Max –
I guess my other painting picture will have to wait until next time. Let us know what you think of these.
I don’t have class tomorrow, so I’ll probably update the site some more tonight. I have a few more painting pictures I want to post and a bunch of pictures of Max. In the mean time, here’s a nice picture of Paige painting the living room.
In other news, one of my programming projects is now being hosted at SourceForge. For those who don’t know, SourceForge is a big website for open-source software. It makes it easier for other people to download my program and help me with it’s development. My program is called Fill in the Site (fits), and you’ll be able to see its website at http://fits.sourceforge.net/
