I’ve put off announcing my site until I was in a position to have enough time to actually do something with it. I guess I’ll take the plunge now.
I got a content management system up. I’ll do more tuning and custominations as time goes by and I learn more about it.
This is good enough for now though because I need to get some other stuff done today.
01/07/2006 Well it’s after the first of the year. Time to get serious about what I want to do with my web site. I know I don’t want to just continue hand editing one page like I am doing so far. I guess I’ll do some research for now.
I signed up for a class at MCC. It starts a week from Tuesday if I remember correctly.
I’ve been reading through O’Reilly’s “Learning Java.” When I get done with that I want to get a book about UML and learn more about that. I took a class about System Design with UML a few years ago (more than 5 now) but I don’t feel comfortable with it yet. I’m leaning towards “Object-Oriented Design with UML and Java” because it includes a UML graphical design tool called ROME. I just wish I knew if that UML tool was any good or not. The free UML tool I have found didn’t work as well as I wanted. They were eather missing importent featurs or they were too slow and unresponsive. Perhaps I just need a new big fast machine instead.
The following I copied from the temp page Ken put up, as modified by me, up until the time I got the contant management system running.

01/05/2006 Happy Birthday Ken.
01/01/2007 Last day of work at Circle K — First day of the new year — Both occasions to look forward.
12/21/2006 Working Sat. and Mon. (Christmas) 5:00 AM to 1:00 PM. Might go to church with Nina’s Sunday. We’ll have our Christmas gettogether Sunday afternoon.
12/20/2006 Happy Birthday to Barbara. I mentioned to Ken I wanted to set up a web site. I meant after the first of the year, but he had registered my domain and started to set it up before I got off the phone. I don’t expect to get much more than a few posts like this until after I quick working at Circle K (after 01/01/2007) and have more time.
12/19/2006 Let the learning begin.
