Up to this point, I've just been thinking about what I'll write about here. What do I want things
to look like? How do I want to present myself?
If I were a font, what font would I be?
These are questions that if not answered correctly, could result in the end of civilization as we
know it. Which admittedly might not be such a bad thing - I could do with a bit less
rampant disease, to name one thing that I wouldn't mind see going the way of the dinosaurs (quick
note to any stray asteroids in the area - I'm not asking you to visit!).
Anyway, I've started blabbering on in my index.html page (which is a different type of blabbering
happening here - this one is more stream-of-consciousness and that one is more, if I dare to use the
word - planned).
Anyway...
I'm getting used to thinking in terms of semantic formatting - this bit of speech should be
emphasized, or italicized, or bolded and all that.
And I'm getting used to the whole hyper-link-ed-ness of things. Not the "I'm going to add
a bit of text and then hit the hyperlink button" type of thing, but the actual use of anchoring
attributes and directing the links and playing with all the options.
Playing. That's what I'm doing.
And lists! Fun with lists!
I just set up a link to the blog/developer notes/whatever the heck this thing is thing. Which is cool -
with this link being an internal link (to a file inside the same folder as the starting index page), the
addressing is simpler.
Or maybe it's just that I find mundane things kinda cool.
It follows along with something I use to say a lot a long time ago:
Find the extraordinary within the ordinary
I posted my first images - one of myself (that ended up being gigantic - I learned quickly that 2000
pixels of photo is a lot of pixels) and another of a quantum physics diagram. Because I am
just that geeky.
I've been spending a lot of time starting to learn Python. The book, Learn Python The Hard Way,
at least the print copy I bought, is actually way out of date. And kinda sorta is the pdf version
I bought after that.
One thing I've found with this style of teaching is that you need to look stuff up and
figure out problems on your own (you make your ablutions to the search engine of your
denomination choice.) The hard part about that is that there often isn't clear
answers or guidance anywhere. So you figure it out and move on (I do a happy dance in there too.
TMI?).
