Long Time, No Post

May/24/2005 06:44 PM

It's been a while since I posted anything here. Couple weeks ago I was basically sick all week long. Took almost two weeks to completely recover. I had to work, but I didn't do much of anything else. Never extremly sick, just a non-stop cold that wouldn't go away. I am better now and back to getting things done. One thing that I have been working on for about the last six months and is nearing completion is a complete rewrite of this website. I have rewriten all the templates powering this site from the ground up. Using all standards perfect XHTML and CSS to the best of my abitily. Actually, the research started about nine months ago. I have been doing a lot of planning on this. I have a due date set for completion of June 22, which is the 2nd anniversery of Cameron's Thoughts. I have set a number of deadlines for things to get done, and so far everything is ahead of schedule, so that release date hopefully will actually happen.
Other than that, not much else going on. Brett started crawling a few weeks ago, now he is going really good at that. He can also sit up with no trouble and can pull himself up on things.
Also new recently, I did decide on the Scion xA as my next car. I ordered one and it will be in by the time my current lease is up on June 15th. Will be a step up from my current vehicle. It's a pretty similar size and engine and things. But this vehicle will have a built in Pioneer MP3 CD player with six speakers plus a subwoofer, power windows and locks, remote keyless entry, side airbags. Pretty much a ton of things my current car does not have. So, I am pretty excited about that, only a couple weeks to go for that.
I am going to end this post now though, as I started writing it about six days ago.

Firefox Stepping Up the Speed

Back and Forward Now Blazingly Fast

Great news for anyone using Firefox. This caching feature being added to Firefox will make for a HUGE improvement in speed. Anyone who has used Opera will know what this is like as Opera has had this for as long as I know of. Instead of rerendering the page when using back and forward buttons, the page wil instantly display. Is just as fast as changing from tab to tab. I am excited about this as being a Opera user for a while, this was one of those minor things that always bug me about Firefox. If it wasn't for having to test webpage designs in Opera, I may no longer have a reason for having it installed anymore.
