I scanned a few photos and put them in here. Take a look if you'd like; the afore-mentioned Robe Boy plane banner is in there somewhere. I've also begun work on a new about page, but that might not make it up for a while.
I was at Wal-Mart tonight, and while I was wandering through the aisles, I started putting together a list of all the things I want to buy this summer. It's a rather short list: tennis racket, television, digital camera. I was wavering between having my 27" TV with the loud rattle fixed or just going out and getting a new one, and I think I've decided to get a new one. Here's a question for all of you out there: is there any advantage to getting one of those TVs with a flat screen (not the tihn ones, but the ones that don't have curved glass)? I saw a pretty nice 27" Sanyo with picture-in-picture at Wal-Mart for about $250, but it didn't have the flat screen that seems to be all the rage these days (although it did have S-Video input). Let me know if you can shed some light on this.
Work is rocking. My first little project is almost done. I could probably get it finished up tomorrow or Wednesday, but I have to prepare a presentation on ASP and web programming for a few of the people in my department tomorrow, so that's going to push things back a bit. I've also been given another small project to work on*. I think I've got the solution to it figured out, but it's been on the back burner for the past few days.
Sometime this week I'm going to get my desk here at home cleaned off, and then I might start working on a few projects that I've been wanting to do for quite a while. We'll see though. Things don't often turn out as I expect them to during the summer.
* the project involves printing out Excel files to PDF, a job that should be rather easy. The issue is that for some strange reason, Excel breaks the file up into multiple print jobs, so we end up with one file that contains all the data and another that contains all the graphs. I have to figure out a way to either merge the files or get them to print as one file.
