MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL

I know it's a long over due late post! I've had opportunities with my PC, and since at the moment it seems to be running, and let me on, I wanted to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas, and a safe and prosperous new year.
I will be going into the new year busier than ever, and may only post a few times a week.
Then again, it depends on this damn PC, and the opportunities it gives me. With all of the componets I have added, I should have bitten the bullet and bought a new one. I'll just have to see how things go. Have a very safe Holiday folks, enjoy this special time with your family and friends. Until the next post.....

This Sucks - Going back and Forth 4 logins

I switched to the new format weeks ago, and still need to go back and forth for logins, it sucks! but that is why they call it Beta format! still being worked out!
I spent hours yesterday, going through Front page Tutorial, this will be an ongoing learning process. This morning, I was up at 6, and online, learning! By 9, I was at the post office, the bank, and to the Chiropractor for an app. By 10:00, I had the hot tub tore apart, the capacitor pulled out, and was on the way to pick up a new one...... Non productive day!!! So Far!! Had the hot up repaired and running again by 2, and back online studying, what a day of vacation!
Yet I always move forward... It's early, now I am going to move forward to bed, I have to work tomorrow, and my plate is still overflowing...... till the next one, be here, there, or anywhere, I am always in the same spot, just moving forward! 1 centimeter at a time...... night

I KNOW, I KNOW

It has been a while! I can walk and chew gum at the same time, but my plate has been full.
That is no excuse for not posting, but I am overwhelmed at learning, tutorials, regular job, and daily task. Like working a full time job, and going to college full time, it's like where do I best delegate what little free time I have! So I apoligize up front, that learning has taken a greater response of my time, than doing a post! Guess I should have spent more time learning more at a younger age! Let that be a lesson to you younger folks. You can still teach an old dog new tricks, were just, or I am just slower at learning. That being said, it has been a long day at the tutorials, and I am hitting the sack. I will try and do a post, at least twice a week, and let you know where I am at! And at the moment I'm swamped, without seeing the light at the end of the tunnel.....

What a Day

The first thing this morning, I checked my hot tub and noticed it was down to 75 degrees.
What a way to screw up my day, and my schedule, this is something I cannot leave unattended.
The blower motor works, but not the pump for the jets, which has a safety, so if it is not working, it won't heat the the tub. After calling the outfit I bought the tub from 5 years ago, he said a new pump motor would run $415.00, but suggested I try to manually turn the shaft to get it started. Damn if that did not get the pump motor running, so I sprayed some lubricant on the shaft hoping my problem was done. In the mean time, I ran to staples to pick up a new DVD drive for my computer, which was shot, then went and picked up chemicals for the hot tub, so far it is a $130.00 day. I got back home, and the tub seemed to be fine for the time, so I dug into a few tutotials on the Adobe software I had loaded. I never got around to doing hte other video tutorials on climbing, and at the momnent, it seems the pump motor went to hell again.
Now I get to baby sit a tub, so it wont freeze, and Monday look at replacing a capacitor, or motor. Money keeps going out, not enough in, and I still have Christmas to deal with. Time to hit the Bank, for another Loan.

Fridays Blahs Aren't gone

Most of my software came in today, and most are loaded. Priemere 3.0 would not load from photo shop, because my internal DVD drive is shot. So, tomorrow, aside from getting other video's done, if it pans out, seems I need to pick up another drive unit. Damn, this spending, and making no money is nuts! All in the form of business, and moving forward! Guess my next move is setting up a donation form. LOL, just kidding! I'll keep plugging away, better than those that procrastinate, or spend their free time & money in the bars.

SPENDING LIKE I HAVE IT

But I don't! Thing is, I need it for the business, and it's a write off for the year.
The Front page software arrived today, I'm waiting for the tutorial for that, that I ordered this weekend. Today I ordered Adobe photoshop 5.0 - premeire 3.0 this will be the software I need to edit the how to videos, then I ordered a 300 GB external drive for storage, seems the last video I took was 2 GB, for 20 minutes, and I have several more to get done. I've yet to order
Cover Pro, which is 3D software , for Ebook covers, and other things. So my plate is always full, And I hope to pull a few videos off this weekend while the weather 40 degrees. This will depend on if I can pull a few other climbers in to help, if not, I have plenty of studying & tutorials to do, not to mention, additions to the sales copy.
So, till the next post, Gimp was heerrrreee & gone....

December Is Turning Out Busy

Although I am not working overtime at work, I am still busy there! Better busy than gone from restructering. Top that off with learning curves I am going, on software, process's, turotials, I feel like an old man, just starting college, with no retention, and always being overwhelmed.
Still doing HTML tutorials, Ordered Front Page Software, A 8 hour front page tutorial, picking up Adobe photoshop 5.0 W/premiere 3.0, 300GB external hard drive. Am I busy? Naw, lost and confused. Wait a minute, thats a Led Zeplin song. Anyway, I need to get back at it, as this old dog needs to learn all these new tricks...

SORRY FOLKS

Last Thursdy when I got home, my phone and DSL were down, left me stranded! So I got on the cell phone and called Qwest customer support, they had a tech here Friday morning. She said it was a direct short inside the house, they would come in and fix it, but at a hourly rate, that I was not willing to pay. So I had Structered cabling back in this morning, took 3 hours, and hopefully the problem is resolved. Great to be back online, and have more than just a cell phone.
Other than that, I am still trying to get this sales copy wrapped up be the weeks end, so I can get started on other tutorials, and creating this E-book. I'll be back...
