Well while you are waiting for the release of Frontier 5, you can play Temps versus suits. (You will need ShockWave.)
Light at the End of the Tunnel
Finally, the light at the end of my huge server conversion project is in sight. I will be in testing today and tommorrow, and will then be going live(I hope.)
ColdFusion from Allaire is a great tool if you have your own Windows NT or Solaris based server. Using it to tie my web pages to things like databases and mail servers has made my life much easier over the last week.
Best of all, if you already are familiar with HTML and Javascript, the syntax is simple.
P.S. I hope to get out sometime in the next week and actually get things like my brother’s band posted to this site.
Mac OS 8.1
Spending the day today tidying up my CPU and office in anticipation of the release of Mac OS 8.1. New file format and all.
Things here at the laboratory are stressful, and I imagine that I will be launching some new features here at Bump and trying to promote the site a little.
I am also going to bring some of my Javascript stylings to these pages in the next two weeks.
South Park Icons
The IconFactory has been producing very high quality icons for a long time now. Yesterday, they released a set of South Park Icons. These are worth downloading.
Well, I went to MacWorld Expo SF 1998, and have now returned to work and gotten over the return jet lag. MacWorld was fun and interesting. I purchased a pass-through box so I can now watch cable on my monitor at home while working on web pages.
I am currently in the process of figuring out what my goals for 1998 are. There are so many technologies that I want to learn that I am having a hard time choosing which one to concentrate on first. I think for the time being that I will be going back to basics and working on my design skills as well as my knowledge of HTML 4.0, 3.2, and 3.0. Other technologies and pieces of software I plan on getting to in 1998 are XML, Javascript 1.2, Some preliminary Java work, Frontier, ColdFusion, Cascading Style Sheets, DHTML, better my PERL understanding, and a large concentration on imaging technologies. I have made myself a computer software/equipment budget, and I plan on buying a new workstation(PROBABLY A UNIX BOX!!), A faster Internet connection, a DV camera, and a CD writer.
