02-21-24 Website training day
It was a very melty day today. Next week is supposed to bring cold again, I guess I should appreciate it.
I ran errands for Rotary, got a bunch of work done, and suddenly it was after 1 pm and I had just finished my breakfast smoothie and not had a coffee yet. This led to me being completely off schedule and I finally made my dinner at 9 which was spicy, a choice I may regret but it was soooo delicious. My headache is starting to clear now. I have my work-time off schedule as well but it works for me to just be awake and productive when I am at my best.
The best part of the day was my hour and a half session on camera with Lance and Omar from Genex, the company that built our new Society web page. They stepped me through all the changes I wanted, and how to maintain it going forward. It was so great to realtime make the changes and fine-tune it. I forgot how much I used to love building websites back in the day. My business was called Surf This and although rudimentary by today’s standards, the pages I built were something to be proud of. I even had my own which was like an early google. I would find and post links under categories that people could easily find what they were looking for and go to. This got me thinking and I went to the waybackmachine site. My personal stuff is still there on the web. It doesn’t look good, but I clicked the apparently broken links and found this very special memory that I thought was long lost:

Now I must move on as I am falling down the rabbit hole of memories. I shall possibly share more as the spirit moves.
