Listening to: Don McLean – Vincent

FINALLY. Some time to truly dedicate to the project. A family trip, multiple jobs, and time with Princess have taken some precedence, but the work continues.

  • I made a Website! Wow! It took about twelve hours today but it looks pretty good; my coding skills certainly came in handy because GitHub is confusing upon first glance

  • Princess and I went to the bank today and, of course, she is the Star of the Show. Always a spectacle when Princess strolls in. I left her in the car during prior visits and they said “no no, feel free to bring her in”, so I started doing so, and they have treats for the dogs that come in, and the employees almost always come out of their offices to pet her. I’ve had periods where I haven’t had a dog at home, and it would really brighten my day to see one out in the wild and get to pet it. Plus, Princess is so friendly and welcoming to people, in the sense that she will allow for infinite petting and treats and attention. A friend of mine called her a nudger, lol, which is apt. This time it was customers and employees all crowding around, petting Princess, showing me pictures of their dogs, and all the typical stuff. She’s such a great dog.

And, to be clear, I bring her into the bank but that’s about it, in terms of businesses. I DO look sideways at people who bring dogs into grocery stores, restaurants, etc.

What I worked on since last post:

  • Work and GitHub. I rested a bit today, which is Saturday, went to the bank, and then hit it hard. Feels GREAT.
  • Character/Location pages. A contact page. With the website now up, backlogged blogs have been posted so we are now in real-time
  • Built a repository in GitHub, made Pages, organized files, and developed a CSS skeleton. GitHub is a cool website with an impressive community, and with so much information out there, getting the CSS going was pretty straightforward with my VBA background

What’s next:

  • This was so fun and I feel like I accomplished a lot today, and a day and a half left to continue the progress. Who knows where it will lead! My faith in this project remains VERY strong, and I’ve been known to be relentless when driven.
