Brian’s Weblog

I miss my friend.  She had to go look for something she lost a while ago. I hope her search is successful and she finds what she is looking for.

Merry Christmas everyone, had a good Christmas lunch/dinner at my Mom and Dad’s house today. There was a member missing because of the long drive and the bad roads she wasn’t able to attend. Dinner was great, conversations were good, and since I was there, the whole day was more pleasant.  Ha ha, all in all, it was a good day.

Well, Merry Christmas everyone and those who chose, Merry Festivus to you too.  The weather isn’t so nice here in Kansas, we didn’t get the ice they were predicting so far but wow, it’s cold and the wind is angry. Sounds like Mom and Dad are going to have a lunch/dinner tomorrow, so that will be nice. Anyway, I hope everyone travels safely and has a great holiday season.

Well I am bored and decided to give an update.

After my severe crash and burn expedition to Texas for a girl, I have returned to Salina, Kansas. I went back to the same apartment/room that I left before the Houston trip. While I was in Texas I saw a online post of a job that I was very interested in, come to find out it was still available when I got back to Kansas. Job is doing AutoCAD primarily and being a general computer guy and website guy. The latter two to a lesser extent than AutoCAD. To me, this job is perfectly what I want to do. I really want this job and know I will excel at it. SO, I am awaiting their decision. I have passed the first few rounds of cuts and it sort of seems they will make their decision after Christmas.

I have installed a picture gallery, but I am not quite happy with the way it looks. It’s the beta version and it just looks like crap. I am going to leave it up just to have something there, I won’t be putting up all the pics yet. Until I find a better gallery layout or until I can fix this one to look better. So far making this one look better seems impossible. But who knows, maybe more layouts will be available soon. When you use free open source programs and applications sometimes you just get what you get.

So this past year wasn’t the best. I made a couple poor decisions and a couple decisions that were good but involved someone else that didn’t have the same intentions and I suffered for it, but that is life. I know this job will turn things around I have high hopes for this coming year. That’s it for now.

I couldn’t couldn’t get the picture gallery to reload onto the server and find its database as easily as the weblogs. I think its because everything about the picture gallery was out of date. The Gallery2 itself was abandoned for Galerlly3 and it was not upgradeable. The version of database was very out of date as well. Trying to do a new install of old stuff to agree with the new stuff , just seemed to be above my head. SO the picture gallery will remain down, utill I figure out what I want to do there. I might have a side entity to the weblog that holds pictures or might have a separate gallery like before. I will update where I am and whats going on soon. Waiting for one piece of news hopefully coming this week.

THE WEBLOG is alive. It was a little difficult restoring the database from old files, but it seems like I got it on the third try. Would have been one shot if I checked dates a little better and that GoDaddy doesnt keep changing their database locations. ANYWAY, it’s back and sorry for the disruptions.
