next entryAnother Day, Another Website
Draco brought into the 21st Century!
Home today, giving me the opportunity to finish off the site design I have been building for my ex-boss.
That all goes pretty well, and by the afternoon I've finished the design. Once I get the go ahead from the new owner, I then set about building the HTML template for him so that he can add the content and any other new pages that may want to add. And being such a nice person, I even Ftp it up to his domain - you can see it here.
I also get a chance to pop into town to post my parents birthday cards and presents to them so they get to them before they go away on Friday. November is turning out to be a mad month for birthdays, with 4 being in this week alone!
Another thing I did today was try out the DVLA's website so that I could apply for my car tax via the web rather than having to queue in the postoffice for hours on end with heaps of paper work. Because my car is new it means that the DVLA have an electronic version of the MOT, they know the car is insured also because they are linked up to the insurers combined database - all of which makes it much easier for me to be road legal. I just hope the new disc arrives before the old one runs out!
So with that done I've had a good chance to break in the new PC and the 2 monitors now rigged up to it. I've got to say, it certainly is useful to have the extra screen space when you're using graphic imaging programmes - I guess I'm a messy worker and always have lots of things open, so being able to move things to the second screen which I not immediately working on is pretty darned cool to say the least.
After tea, we then have a play on some games, and I get my mouse behind some pretty hefty firearms which whilst I'm not an expert gamer I still enjoy. Phil stays up later than me playing games, and manages to wind himself up so much that despite coming to bed he soon is up again trying to wind down so that he can get some sleep.
I have to admit I'm like that too, if I do anything brain intensive before I go to bed I can't sleep well, too much whizzing around in the old nut to even consider the calm and relaxing climes of dreamland - so I try not to to avoid restless nights.

Hmm, ever though about installing a system in the bedroom and use a projector to beam the screen on the ceiling?
