Janet’s Webpage

The great joy and pain of this hobby is when you acquire a large collection all at once. The scanning, labeling, sorting, and storing take so much time. Then you look at it and it’s all worth while (but only after everything is done).

Whoo hoo~~~~ 12 hours later… I finally got it!
Okay, I know I only have about a dozen of entries in there right now, but this is really something to write home about. After YEARS AND YEARS, I finally wrote a script to load the EC information.
For those of you who have seen my previous site, this is VERY different. This is not hard coded in! I will no longer need to change 1500+ entries if I want a style change!
You won’t believe how excited I am right now. If I didn’t have to stay fit for duty, I’d pop a bottle of champagne to celebrate!
(Click on Image Gallery to see what I’m talking about. )

I’m really doing quite well! (Surprisingly well actually… I never knew I can figure this out)
But seriously, it’s painful to learn a new programming language through trial and error… I still don’t know how I’m going to post the EC images… Anyway, here’s the shell. Yeah, it looks real bare, I know, but all the tables are there already.

I’m trying to put all my EC stuff online. Since I’m really not very good at programming this is turning into a big struggle…
*sigh* Gone are the days when I can use Front Page to display everything…
Anyway, so far I’ve been able to make up a sample table and put John Smith’s name in there. Then call it up again… (see test page) This needs more work.

Three dinners over Thanksgiving weekend, great success!! Here are the pictures:

Outage is finally over.
By 6 AM this morning, I was at the OCC. Course, Jay didn’t trust me to run the OCC by myself (even if we are at 97% power), so he stayed over till the sign off.
Anyway, took some pictures of the property. SO’s new spruce trees (12 trees, approx. 6 ft each… impulse purchase due to bargain price).

Since Glenard’s getting his pilot license, I’ve decided that I should become a race car driver!! If only to improve my driving skills.

Some days, I think my combined affairs will be the end of me…
Each one by itself is fine, simple almost. But put together, my day turns into a 13 hrs work affair that requires fermented beverages at the end.
I’ve been trying to figure out what a “leisure lifestyle” would be like. If I had all the money in the world, what would I be doing everyday. It’s really really hard to imagine… I suppose rich people are just born rich and are used to having nothing to do all day, or they become rich and just do whatever it is that they do to have made them rich in the first place… complicated. The best scenario I can come up is to take a year off to supervise the building of my dream house (our future gold plated house, as SO like to call it). Maybe afterwards I will be consumed with the landscaping and the decorating as well…

Gosh, after using Front Page for so long, it’s really hard to go back to hard coding. On the plus side, it’s a lot prettier.
Anyway, I haven’t figure out a way to put an entire database in a WordPress page… so only the trade list is up. Look under Hobbies and Interests -> Elongateds Collection

There’ll be lots of these…
This is a test to see if the EC category is working.
