The last week, i've had pretty much nothing to do. So i'm trying to be productive and dedicate my time to learning new things. Things that will help me in the future.
Yesterday, I began to build a new ASP driven website. I designed the layout, I used Dreamweaver's built in ASP functions to drive it. I designed the database, and hooked it up via ODBC, and I set up IIS, to host my site locally.
I enjoy it profusely. I haven't used Dreamweaver in about two years, nor designed a working site. I'm not a programmer, i will never be a programmer, I don't pocess the intelligence or the perseverence to become a programmer. So, I make do with the tools I have, and try and pick up the coding as I go. I have a bit of knowledge, but not enough. So i'm trying to learn. Which is great.
I've hit a few snags along the way. But, i'm learning as I go, which is my aim.
Whether or not I buy a domain, and pay for hosting, depends entirely on how much I learn.
If I get it online, it will host my photos, and i'll build my own blog page, and so will use it to blog too.
This is it's current design, although the design keeps changing.
When my eyes started hurting because of excess PC use, I then decided, time to be creative elsewhere. And what better place to be creative, and combine another love of mine - food, but the kitchen!
So, I went to Tesco. Bought some lettuce, carrot, cheese, tomato, mackerel, salsa, and chilli flakes. I combined chopped the salad, gratted the cheese and cooked the mackerel and ended up with this...
If you tell me that this doesn't look delicious, you're fucking mad.
I think i've over worked my arms with my weights. My arms are small and weedy. There's nothing powerful about them. But i'm trying to change that. I use 12kg dumbbells for each arm, and spend forty-five minutes a day using them, pretty much until my muscle cannot lift it anymore and I need my other hand to support the weight. Today, my left arm just gave way. I actually screamed! It's horribly painful. I'm going to leave it a day or two, and hope it heels.
Poor, creative, handsome Jamie. |
