Research Sunday

I’ve been having a nice day today working on my website and research. Bedtime for me was about 2:30am as I wanted to listen to a bit of Coast. I got up about 6am and there was no cereal so Anne had to get that out for me. I don’t know where she kept it and I was to exhausted to go out for anything. I was still having those chest pains and they increased with severity after I took my insulin. When I went back to bed they eased off. Right now, I’m feeling no pain at all.

I don’t think these chest pains have anything to do with my heart. When I cough I can feel the pain in my chest under my left breast. The pain reverberates through to my back under my shoulder blade. This is why it doesn’t sound like a heart condition. I’ve got some minor chest pain there now but nothing severe and my arm on my left side underneath the muscle area is soar.

I’m not very good at book reviewing but these are only impressions of what the book did or didn’t do for me. I’m trying to get an image of the book cover within my blog, much like the way I post photo’s but nothing is working out for me. I’ve seen various html code but Geek Log is kind of funny in the way it hosts non photo images. It’s ok for photo’s and such but I’m having trouble with images. Markus is trying to help me out but he’s not much help because it seems he knows as little about this as I do. I’m trying to look at other Geek log websites but so far other then Markus’s and my own I haven’t found to many.

So I decided to go to the Geek log forum and look at some other GL websites and see how they handle non photo images. I wonder if this is done via CSS?

I think I got maybe 7 hours of sleep. That beer put me to sleep last night and did a good job doing just that. Stella Artois I believe is what it’s called. It has 5.2% alcohol and hit’s the spot. Molson Dry has something like 5.5% alcohol and is just a bit to strong for me. Anne doesn't like her beer to strong.

I woke up about 12:30pm this afternoon as I wanted to watch the Edmonton/Chicago game. We scored first and the game went wild and woolly all afternoon. It ended up 6-5 in OT. At least it got us a bit ahead of the Blues. Anne made a great breakfast and pork chops for tonight. Actually I think this was one of the best I  games I think I've seen our team play all year.

I didn’t do any writing Sunday at all. I haven’t abandoned the book and I still have my May 31st deadline. If nothing is posted for Monday, I’ll be back Tuesday here. Monday night there’s a 3 hour wrestling show on.

Like I said, I can handle photos in Geek log, I just can’t handle images. I know the HTML tags but I don’t know where to place the HTML or how to place the location of the code. Left, Centre, Right type thing. Geek log photo images handles that nicely but sucks on general non photo images.

One thing I'd like to do is to get an impression animated ad in the logo space. This means pulling my logo closer to the left side of the  page and bringing my "Mission statement" lower so I can insert the ad. I'd like it to be about gaming, SFF movies that type of thing. The other thing is I don't have a color scanner yet, that would help. I need a beter way to help generate that income

Yikes: I added some RSS icons to my RSS block and it took out my whole list of links and Admin. I can't add any new Blog posts etc. However I can access the stuff missing when I use the edit key. It's still there missing the RSS stuff. 

Anyway, that’s all for now
