Saturday – Work and Connecting

by 1 Comment

Another Saturday

After finishing school and starting to look for a job Saturday’s have been mostly a bust.  However this Saturday went pretty well.  One of my friends, Mike Wilson has really been helping me out over the last couple of days with a freelance web project.  He has helped me get into Drupal, a web site tool.  I spent most of the day trying to learn this technology.  Mike is the one that did all the work, while I am just trying to learn.  Drupal is really cool and a very flexible tool for website building.  It’s really amazing how much cool technolgy is out there and availble for us to build really cool web sites.

Saturday night, one of my friends called me up and invited me over to his house.  Jayd McFerson was one of missionary companions and we connect every 4 or 5 years.  I hung out with him, his wife Tauni, and their son Coen for a couple of hours we chatted about old times.  We also discussed our current trials.  Jayd and Tauni are inspiring to me.  Just regular people having to deal with some pretty extrodinary circumstances.

Move along.

Another day

I was able to swim and do a little running.  Installed wordpress on my local machine.  don’t know why I haven’t done that before.  It was easy now I am going to have to set it up to show people for examples  and more testing.

Then I ran out of time and had to quit.  Maybe tomorrow.  Lucky me, I can swim outside so I am getting a bit of a tan.  But the weather is turning colder here in Austin, the water was perfect for swimming.  We’ll see how long I’ll be able to swim in the unheated pool.

Dark Days

This was me at Noon Today!

Today was hard with the job situation.  I picked up a freelance web job on Friday.  However, over the last couple of days it has become apparent the company is in a bit of disarray.  So about noon I could see the freelance thing is not going to work out.  Mentally this was quite a strain.   I just couldn’t get my exercise/workout going.  I will have to get it in tomorrow.

The light at the end of the tunnel is showing a bit because a company I had scheduled an appointment with last week is ready to sign up for a web site tomorrow.

They have a great dry-cleaning business.  I will post a link or a picture of their site when it’s finished.

when all you got to keep is strong
Move along, move along like I know you do
And even when…

Today's wanderings

Started the day off at about 6AM.  Met with a group of sales people for TravelHost a travel advertizing magazine.  it’s a national magazine that is printed by area.  Shane Dimon is the Associate Publisher.  It’s something I am looking at right now.

I swam and then after swimming I was able to log onto the freelance site and get a $30 job and a $500 job ,we will see how that works out. I also spoke with a company that may commit to a web site on Thursday. I’ve got several other leads.
Today I took some water with me and that help so I could do a little running after. But not much. More running will be later.

I then did some swimming 4000 meters.
