having a wonderful day

[supercheesegirl]

so today i have my Intro to Dreamweaver class at Harvard's center for training & development. (i was supposed to have a Basic HMTL class here last week but i screwed up royally and missed it, which i'm not going to think about anymore because i'm having a good day). so the class was not the most enthralling this morning--i learned a few new tricks that will be really helpful, but nothing spectacular, and mostly it was review. this afternoon we're doing tables, though, which should be really good since that's how i set up the PELS webpage that i've been working on. and the room has been really, really cold for the sake of the computers and the projector. but we took a break for lunch, and i went to au bon pain for lunch. i got a chicken sandwich on a croissant, and i sat outside in the sun and ate it and drank an absolutely delicious peach iced tea, and it was just lovely. and then i went to urban outfitters and bought a new (long-sleeved, for the cold room) shirt from their clearance room, and i thought it would be $9.99 but it was only $4.99. so i am having a most delightful day.

I believe editing html in anything but a plane text editor (like notepad) is evil.

It sounds completely unreasonable to keep a room too cold for humans so that computers and a projector would be comfortable. I can't imagine they weren't designed to operate at normal room temperature.

at first i was really confused by this, but then i realized you meant an ordinary text editor, not one that can fly. :)

and Dreamweaver makes it so easy. click-click, and there's a table, without all the work of typing out the code. and you can edit a template once and have it update itself on all your webpages. i'm not a hardcore computer person, and i work better when i can work visually (for example, i sucked at spelling bees when i was kid but always got 100 on spelling tests when i could write the words down). so i really like working through the editor and being able to see exactly what i'm creating. but i think it's really important to understand what's going on in the code and have the ability to edit it by hand as well. i'm working on that part.

the projector is mostly what needs the cold--it's one of those ridiculously expensive and fussy ones. and i should've realized that, with me just generally being cold, i'd probably freeze in the air conditioning. my own fault.
