I'm sure I'll need to tweak it, but I've technically launched my galleries for my photography 'business' (I use the word lightly at this point). View the galleries online at http://jamesrskemp.com/gallery/ It only took three days, but I'm pretty happy with how things turned out. I'd really like to have the individual photos display a bit better, but ...

Since I can't fall asleep, and since experience has taught me that it's best to write when I've got things running through my head ... Why I went to college You go to college once you're done with high school - unless you're going straight into the workforce. At the time I was working at a Culvers, which I enjoyed because of a number of people that I worked with, but I knew that I couldn't make that my profession.

The no checkout thing is weird. Had someone else (a Mac user) not a) told me about the process and b) told me about the store location, I would c) made the purchase online instead, and not gotten exactly what I think I want (/known about my other options) and d) would have been utterly confused about the checkout process :) But, the two people I spoke with while checking out were extremely friendly, and I was amazed by the quality of the store.

After sleeping on it (albeit poorly), I've resolved the issue that was stopping production on the new version of my Cross Sums Helper application. However, I need some help testing. Download Cross Sums Helper 2.0 - 67 KB (.NET Framework 2.0 or higher is required). UPDATE: Download Cross Sums Helper 2.1 - 65 KB If you don't have .NET Framework (and are on Windows) let me know - I had a hard time finding any real stats on these numbers, even from MS people.

According to commercials yesterday and today, the $5 footlongs at Subway are now a part of the menu. Is anyone really surprised? While the Subway near where I work is usually very busy during lunch, it seems to be especially so now. This is after they raised the prices of their subs not once, but twice. On that note, what's up with The Feast? Seriously.

About 30 minutes ago I started upgrading from Vista Home Premium to Vista Ultimate, using a NFS copy of Ultimate I received at the Heroes Happen {Here} event in 'Madison' (today). For the most part, everything is backed up, so it should be a painless install, no matter what happens. Five steps; Copying Windows files Gathering files Expanding files Installing features and updates Completing upgrade What's initially scary is the "Your upgrade may take several hours to complete.
