Serenity… refocus – seek joy – thrive

I’m going to try something. It’s odd, I think. It may even be just a tad narcissistic, but I’m going to do it anyway. I’m going to interview myself over the next year, and ask a question a day. Oh, why, why, why would you want to do such a thing, Nanette? (See, there I [...]

I posted on Human Beams today… nothing special or particularly notable (even if I am making a note of it), but as it’s the first time I’ve done so since January! I thought I would mark the occasion. Last year or so, when HB was still limping along, I came across a few friends from [...]

The ones named CSS and PHP, that is. Oh, we’ll toss in HTML and DHTML as well, but even now I’ll have nothing to do with MySQL. (Let us just hope my database is not struck dead out of pique.) I have a lot of plans for Human Beams but I’ve realized that one holdup [...]
