Computer Crazy! 7.6.02
 

I finished up my work on the hostel website. After that, I began to work on my own site, trying to add in the photos I had taken over the past couple weeks. It was a hard task choosing which ones to post, but I think I got the best ones lined up. I took a ride downtown while the day still looked decent. I checked out a bead shop I’d seen in the yellow pages but it was pretty lame. I got a little creeped out by the old lady hacking and coughing as she moved her way slowly up to the front of the store as if I was the first customer in weeks. I felt guilty not buying anything, but I really didn’t see anything I liked or felt I could use. I rode back to the hostel and took some photos of the area shops nearby for Gerry to post on the hostel website. Right when I got back, it began to rain. I guess my timing was good. I found out that my package wasn’t due until Monday, which would mean I wouldn’t be leaving Fairbanks until Tuesday morning. I hope I can avoid the rain on my way to Tok. I really didn’t want to spend this much time here in Fairbanks. There doesn’t seem like much to do around here with the rainy weather and I’m getting a little restless spending so much time on the computer. Hopefully, tomorrow I’ll be able to finish posting the rest of my journaling, photos and possibly update my website. I have to say though, that I’m grateful for having set up these very decent accommodations at the hostel while I’m here in town. (10 miles)

Peace

And the URL is??

Gotta see your work. Do you do html directly, or do you have a software package (as I do)?

Oh it was pretty simple stuff. I was just doing enough to get a few free nights at the hostel. Webmaking can be extremely time consuming! I use Adobe GoLive. Others might have their favorites, GoLive is just what I learned when I started.
She hasn't gotten a domain name registered and she is also looking into cheap servers for the site, so it may be a while before you see what I did. But really, it's nothing special. I made my cyclingtheamericas.org website though, and I started with observernet.org which has to do with my job, but you might find the At Sea photos interesting if you are thinking about giving it a look.
