The Thursday ThreThe Thursday Threesome: A Geek In The Family.
April 22, 2004

Thursday Threesome:

A geek-- Hey, who handles tech support at your place? You? ...the six year old? ...or someone from outside? ...and how about in your web space? No, we're not looking for techs; we're just curious . Usually, I do in this house. However, Nicki knows a bit and Matthew knows a lot. If I can't do it, Matthew is usually forced to do it.

in the-- computer? Just a curiosity for the designer types: what Operating System are you running? ...and which browser? Since sites can show up differently in different browsers it's more than a casual question. Windows 98 at 800 × 600 resolution. I just can't tear myself from switching from that screen size, yet, and I can't afford to upgrade to XP, yet. However, this does exactly what I want.

By the way, if you screen is larger than 800 × 600, I tweaked the Sunflower skin to fit for 1024 × 768 screens, too. I added larger screen version of the skin after seeing the "original" on my brother's computer and realized a lot of space was being wasted.

As for browsers, I use Mozilla. However, when I design my site, I check it in Opera and IE, too.

Family-- Do any family members read your place? Do they care? Do they have a clue? ...and how about your 'off line' friends? ...or do you supply a little bit of separation there? Maybe Nicki, but other than that, they know I have it but don't really read it. They do it, I guess, to give me my person space. As for offline, I don't have many to begin with and I doubt I'll give it to them. I'd probably be embarrassed if they read it. *Blushing*

A geek-- Hey, who handles tech support at your place? You? ...the six year old? ...or someone from outside? ...and how about in your web space? No, we're not looking for techs; we're just curious . Don takes care of that stuff....I don't feel too much like learning the ins and outs of the hardware. However, in HTML and CSS, I'm the queen.

in the-- computer? Just a curiosity for the designer types: what Operating System are you running? ...and which browser? Since sites can show up differently in different browsers it's more than a casual question. Mac OS X (Panther). I use Mozilla Firebird, but I design using Firebird, IE, Safari, and Camino.

Family-- Do any family members read your place? Do they care? Do they have a clue? ...and how about your 'off line' friends? ...or do you supply a little bit of separation there? My fam knows about the site, but only a few read it (a cousin or two and Don). As far as friends, they know about it and I know some read it...not really sure who is reading it. I know my ex-roomie and her friend (both Don's friends) read it on a regular basis, which is kinda funny.

The only family member other than my sister that reads this regularly is my cousin's wife.

If someone I knew read my blog, I'd be more surprised than embarrassed. Sort of like today when I discovered in my referrer logs that someone from my school visited my blog--it was somewhat a cause for celebration since it was the first time that happened. I doubt he would visit again though.

I've gotten one or two hits from school but they don't worry me. They are usually people blown off course from Yahoo!
