Lately I have been working on the website's photos section. I have added some new photo albums which include my highschool gradutaion in 2006 and my girlfriend Codi's Birthday.

On my photos page I have made thumbnails of the two new albums. I added a javascript function to both of them that makes them run through a mini slide show when the user puts their mouse over them, and stops when they take the mouse out.

On the actual albums page I have set up a 300 x 300 image at the top and then thumbnails of other images under that, to view a thumbnail image in 300 X 300 the user simply clicks the thumbnail and a javascript function replaces the original 300 x 300 picture with the enlarged thumbnail picture.

I believe that I have finally been admitted to UW-Stout ! Stout has a online application for checking a perspective students application status called 'Access Stout', and for the last 2 months since I have applied it has said my application is 'complete but pending review'.

About a week ago I had became a little concerned about getting accepted and decided to shoot Lisa Maves(the assistant Transfer Coordinator) an email in regards to my application and why it is taking so long to come to a conclusion. She sent me a reply which is listed below:

"We have everything we need to process you. You will be hearing from us in the next couple weeks. It has been a very busy time at the beginning of the fall term. Thank you for your patience."

This definitely aided in reassuring me that I have my application at least looked and hopefully would accepted into Stout.

This morning I checked my email and Stout account (as usual) but discovered to my great surprise that I had been accepted into Stout! My Access Stout application status had changed from 'complete pending review' to 'Admit good standing'. I am still not totally positive what good standing means, but I have a feeling it has to do with me still going to Fox Valley Technical College this semester.

Lately Codi and I have been taking a lot of late night Wal-Mart trips for pointless things. Today at 12 am we bought the movie Fools Gold, some water melon, and Codi bought make-up. I think that it just proves how boring the Fox Valley can be late at night.

We are both going back to FVTC this semester and I already can't wait for it to be over! I will be graduating and getting an Associate degree in Information Technology Web Development and Design specialist. This is very exciting for me becuase it will allow me to transfer to UW-Stout for a four year degree in Information Technology Managment. I think having both the IT Web Development and Design Specialist and the IT Managment degrees with be excellent tools to assist me in getting a career in the IT field.

Hello, and welcome to my new and improved web site! I have placed all my links in the left sidebar and labeled them "links". I am looking forward to updating this site and hope to see you again soon!
