Seriously. This has nothing to do with politics (thank goodness, right? Nobody seemed to give two shits about my Herman Cain coverage anyway so why bother?)
I've decided to delve into learning HTML and CSS in order to make myself a bit more marketable (read: make more money). It staves off boredom as well.
Ever find yourself in a boring job of which you are way overqualified for? Yeah, me too. Hence the spur to add to my skill set. I figure I'm parked at a pc all day anyway so why not make the most of it?
Back when FrontPage was the big deal I played around with website building. So glad I can't find any of those site in existence anymore. Those were so bad. Total design nightmares. I'm sure those old pages are cached somewhere since "the internet is forever" but I'm not going to go digging them up. So far I'm checking into the O'Reilly series of books. I've always had luck with those back when I was learning page layout. I find myself doing a lot of surfing as well as inventing stuff for myself to do at work—stuff that doesn't seem to be fully appreciated. Rather than continue to cast pearls to swine, I take it as a sign that my talents are underutilized and that I need to find another gig.
Good luck with the new information intake. I find code to be mildly irritating at best and abysmally tedious at worst, which is why I never lernt any. I only delve in if absolutely necessary. Now I'll have a resource to call on when those times occur. YEA! ;-)
ReplyDeletePS: I liked the Cain vid.
Thanks. I'll let you know if I throw in the towel or actually get somewhere with it.
ReplyDeleteRed, I tell my kids, learning is for a lifetime. Glad you are putting your time to good use. Thinking of you.
