random ramblings of a crazed nerd

Well I awoke at 3:30am, and have been awake since, worked on putting up a coming soon splash on the Thrust Networks homepage - the design has been the same since the company started in 2001, so I figured some fresh paint was long-overdue. The splash is a logo refresh I actually did about 4 years ago when I originally started re-working the site, but never put up the enhanced re-build of the site, since then the old layout has gotten stale for me, and I want to freshen it up - rebuild the hosting packages offered, get it linked up in the online sign-up, and see what happens.

I have been working on Photoshop this morning, and purchasing CS2 last year it was fine speed wise… of course then I got my hands on the Photoshop CS3 beta, and wow, speed was dramatically different on the iMac & Macbook Pro, so I have been considering the upgrade - I just have the standard, but I really want to begin dabbling with Flash, and the new Dreamweaver as well, so I have been considering going from CS2 Standard -> CS3 Premium -  its $200 more, but I think it’d be a sound investment as with one project I am working on if I could get action script & some cleverly crafted php working together I could do some pretty cool stuff.

So I am guessing the playful iPod 80GB will wait I think I am just never meant to get it, which I think *sigh* I can live with but the 35mm is still on the list, as it can be used for projects, business, and help in relaxing me - I want to get out with the Bakersfield photography group on Flickr and maybe shoot a couple events, part of me is tempted to brave the street-fair tonight with the E-500 and get some shots, all depends on my energy level.

Doing good thus far today, sleep last night was good, may try to sneak in a nap before the 4pm meeting, actually heading there around 3:00pm so I can get there, get on the Wifi and make sure I have access, if not the Dash is there and can easily access Edge, but I want to also setup a tunnel again so my traffic is routed via Home vs. open over the wireless @ Starbucks - so some tweaks before the meeting too!

Anywhoo - have a good one folks, continued prayers are appreciated!
