I just finished writing a little RSS reader that collects the “headlines” of some of the sites that I visit frequently. It makes it nice to have everything in one page to read over and only visit the side, if I am interested in further reading over a topic.

If you would like to check it out, I have a “news” and a “blogs” section.

update: of course, as soon as I post this message my little script decided to break. Everything is fixed now!! use the links above.

Now we are ready to rock and roll. I got everything that I needed to use the filters that I had bought (still missing one) and although I had to pay about $20 extra to buy an adapter so everything can fit nicely, I am looking forward to get back out there with the camera.

Over the weekend I finally got some filters that I had ordered for my camera. As you can see in the photo section, I have not posted anything recent since I am waiting to get these filters that I bought for my coolpix camera. I searched several stores in town looking for what I wanted but they were either a bit too pricey or they did not have what I wanted.

I am not sure if anyone noticed, but when I first released this site, if you posted a comment on this site, your email address would be “released” to everyone else. I have decided to change this and now, feel confident that I will do my best to make sure your email address is safely kept from others.

I am doing this as well since I will soon release this site to Google to be searched and archived by their spiders. Some people don’t like to have their email addresses out on the web since they could, most likely it will happen, have it harvested and only increase the amount of “spam” email they receive.

Should I decide to release the site to the world, know that your information will be kept safe — or as safe as I can put it on the web!!

As I talked about it before here, I am back in school talking a java class. The first day was a bit challenging and for a minute I had a fear that I had gone over my head. Now, we are starting to look at code and getting into the programming and I don’t have any hesitation about the class anymore.

I think the most challenging aspect of the class right now, is my dicipline to keep up with the class. I am taking the class via TV, where I video tape the class during the day and I watch it on my own during the evening. I am trying to get into the habit of watching the class the same evening so I can ask questions the next day.
