Month: June 2005
Some Kinda Webmaster
I recently had occasion to list all the websites I’ve done or am working on and it was kind of a surprise: John Chappell, Attorney, Jeffrey Chappell, Pianist, Chappell Family, Steve & Kathie Wedding, Bob & Martha Hanrott, Authors, Douglas County Bar Association, Pryor Oil Company, HarpShot, and Rinky-Dink, Inc..
About half of those involve some work every month, some every week. Since webmastering is supposed to be a spare time hobby, the chore of just maintaining these doesn’t really leave much, if any, time to continue the learning curve, acquiring new skills or even just keeping abreast of the few I’ve picked up along the way.
Good thing I enjoy this stuff. Trouble is, I think I’m developing variations of carpal tunnel syndrome in my back, shoulders and neck. The other night, I realized I’d been sitting in the easy chair with the laptop on my knees for four straight hours without getting up. I’ve also been noticing the neck and back problems getting worse. On the other hand, things like that get worse with age, anyway. Oh, hey! I got my first acupuncture yesterday. He also tossed in a little chiropracty. I think I’ll have to write about that experience in another article, though. Hmm, been sitting here for two hours now. Just got done upgrading the blog program, WordPress, to latest version for both blogs. Becky’s been in bed two hours, which is where I should be. G’nite! :tired:
A Fine Wedding and More

|Had a terrific few days in San Diego (Encinitas, actually) last weekend for Jessica and Eric’s wedding. We celebrated Kimberly’s birthday a couple days after the wedding. We were forewarned about San Diego’s “June Gloom”, but the weather was perfect the entire time. Chronologically, we arrived Friday and had a late lunch and some ocean viewing at La Jolla before checking in at the motel. Saturday was wedding rehearsal, an afternoon at the San Diego County Fair, and rehearsal dinner. Sunday was the wedding. Monday was lunch with my high school buddy, Mel Morris and his wife at a fine beach front restaurant called the Poseidon. Tuesday was Kim’s birthday, spent the afternoon at a major park in San Diego, and evening with birthday dinner at Pacific Beach. Wednesday back to Kansas (boo!).|

|A fantastic experience Monday night was the bioluminescent plankton in the surf at Swami Beach behind the Self-Realization Fellowship Ashram Center in Encinitas. As if a full moon and clear sky with surf noise wasn’t enough, the breaking waves were lit up from the inside by streaks of blue light. I did a lot of googling but only found one little image of the phenomenon, shown to the right, which I took from a web page here.|

I uploaded some wedding photos and others pics from the trip at my Flickr Account.
