Today I did things. I finished the textbook chapter I have been
working on and I read two others. Significant progress. I didn't
look at the reading I have for this week. I wanted to remain in good
spirits today. I'll check that stuff tomorrow.
Tonight I worked on the group website. Nothing content related
because we haven't decided on who is working on which page. I stuck
with the CSS, trying to come up with a design for the site. I spent
a lot of time trying to find a basketball court picture that was free
to use as a background image but that failed. I ended up going with
a light wood background that kind of sort of maybe looks like a
basketball court. I also found a picture of a basketball, cropped
it, put it in the lower right corner of the page, and figured out how
to put the wood background behind it. That took a little doing but I
got it working. I also messed around with the menu a little bit.
Eventually I would like to get it so it will collapse down to a menu
icon on mobile devices or when a browser window is too small. Right
now each item in the menu collapses down nicely but there are nine
items at the moment and it doesn't look that great on a small screen,
having to scroll past those to get to the main content. I think I've
found the code to make the mobile menu happen I just need to adapt it
to the code I already have. That can wait for another day.
I caught up on Stitchers today, minus the episode that aired
tonight. I think it is safe to say I'm a fan of the show. It isn't
great but it is good, and hopefully it will stick around for at least
a few seasons. I also started watching The Last Ship. A NAVY
ship is up in the Arctic for several months and when it is time for
them to return home they learn that a worldwide epidemic has broken
out and they don't really have a safe home to return to. Their new
mission is to try and discover a vaccine for the virus. It's an
interesting show. Again, not great, but they're doing something
right and I'll stick with it. Until I lose interest.
Tonight we didn't have a class meeting. Instead I partook in the
previously mentioned activities of watching The Last Ship and
working on the website. It made the night go by pretty quick. I
imagine my day tomorrow will involve more reading. And possibly more
website stuff. I also need to at least take a look at upcoming due
dates and start figuring things out. I believe there around a month
of class left, and there is still a lot of work to do. The majority
of our points in both classes are still outstanding, so I need to
keep on top of things.
And now the internet is out. That is kind of annoying. So instead
of doing internet things I'm going to watch tonight's episode of
Stitchers and then go to bed.
