www gets a new look
I decided I wanted a more professional looking site for my professional face (i.e. http://www.dpitts.com), so I have started redoing it. I got my widget working for AIM communication and I am going to tweak it more. I’ve got my tabs working.
The next step will be to put it in drupal and to make the areas a bit more dynamic. Mostly to give me another opportunity to mess with drupal (I’ve done 2-3 sites already). I want to tie it in a bit more with my blog. Eventually, I’ll use a similar design for my blog so I have consistency, but I don’t want to lose my mooses, so I’ll have to work those in somehow.
Any suggestions are always welcome.

Whoa! I am REALLY sorry to hear about your job.
What is your company doing with their IT services (the functions that you and your team have been providing)? Is it being outsourced?

Matsu,
Thanks. Most are going to CBS College Sports. Others are yet to be determined.

all these faces I remember all my life, though some have changed
In my life (based on Beetle’s In My Life)
There are faces I remember
All my life, though some changed
Some forever, not for better
Some have gone and some remain
All these faces had their moments
With lovers and friends I still can recall
Some are dead and some are living
In my life I’ve loved them all
Today I got glasses. I have an astimatism in my right eye. For those of you who were like me before last week, it is basically where (in my case at least) my eye’s cornea has become irregularly shaped. It has given me blurred vision in my right eye. My left one is still 20/10. This is neither nearsightedness nor farsightedness.
As I understand it, your eye develops this way when you start peering over the crest at what is on the other side of life. For me, I go gingerly toward that crest, so I only looked over with one eye. Had Madusa been there, I would have been stoned, but alas, it was only the future, so I was struck in the cornea with an irregulity.
So, this is how I will be known from now on. With yet another irregularity. Just like my mother. Just like my grandmother. Just like all the other relatives that I am aware of.

A Moose on a bike - take two
Sunny and 70 degrees. First day riding to work. 31 minutes to get there and 33:34 minutes to get back. Not bad considering it is more up hill coming home.
Stats: (one way coming home)
Distance: 5.35 miles
Ave Speed: 9.5 mph (9.7 this morning)
Max Speed: 24.6 (topped 25 this morning)
Ave Speed including lights and two stops: 6.27 mph
Had to stop 2x coming home - first, my derailing didnt switch from 2 to 1 on the front gears when I was trying to go up the hill behind Lexington Mall. I’ll have to go to Pedal the World and get them to adjust. So, I stopped, walked to the top, drank some water and waited on the light to cross New Circle. I could have made that one otherwise. Not much fruther down the road though, I turned behind Regency center. That’s a long hill that gets a bit steeper at the top. Also there is a lot of pot holes and broken beer bottles, so I got off, walked up on the side walk, got water, and walked about 50’ to the top of the hill.
I need to get the handle bars raised about 3-4 inches as well.
I guess I have a base line.
