So I started this site out telling you all about the different softwares I have been trying on web stuff. I did ok for a while. I have to confess, I’ve gotten off track. There are several of the packages I need to go back to and do more testing and tweaking to really have a better assessment of how I feel about them.
After I did that for a bit I added The Blog! to have a place to add random thoughts, comments and observations. I’ve done a bit better with that. As you can see. I’m even updating that one tonight.
Still I have veered away somewhat from some of the original stuff. I hope you don’t mind too much. I haven’t been doing a lot of fiddling with the programs lately.
What I have been doing lately has been
a lot of reading. For 3 or 4 weeks I was killing at least 2 books a week. I enjoyed it. I’ve lost momentum on that because the two books I am currently reading are a little more challenging in their content and how they are written. They don’t really qualify for me as a quick read. I read “Equal Rights” by Terry Pratchet and that was a quick read. As was “Twilight” and of course I had to read the rest of that series.
I’ve read a few classic sci-fi authors recently. I read Robert Heinlein’s “For Us the Living”. That was interesting. I have read his novel “The Moon is a Harsh Mistress” and really liked it so thought I’d try another of his. I found this one really interesting when looking at it in relation to our current social and economic situation. Some parts of it are a bit of a wade through. Still some of the concepts are really interesting. I also read “Prelude to Foundation” by Asimov. I read it because I intend to read the “Foundation Trilogy”. I figured I should read in the right order. It was longer the the next three put together. We’ll see how they go. I’ve read some of the Robot novels by Asimov and liked them.
Oh, right now I’m reading “20,000 Leagues Under the Sea” by Jules Verne and “Visions” by Michio Kaku. Verne is just not a fast read. I found that over the summer with “Journey to the Center of the Earth”. “Visions” has it’s moments. I’m over half through it. It starts with computers and has moved into biology. The biology part has held my interest a little bit more than the computers did. Weird since my field of work is computers. Oh well.
Next up on my things to do that I may note on here, I have to load some software on a laptop before I load the test servers at work. I’ve loaded this software once before with a guide next to me telling me what to do next. I’m going to try to fly solo on this one. It will be interesting. Once that software is loaded, I will be using some data that I have to learn better how to utilize the application. It should be quite a robust project.
In addition I have more reading to do. I have stacks of books to read on a variety of topics and genres. I have several other things I’ll be working on as well.
So that’s what’s up lately and why some of the software sections haven’t had recent updates. I’ll get back to some of them. I still have plans to make changes to this template and add some other features so there will be additional info on my Joomla! experience. Just keep checking back, or send an email.
Cheers
