Today I'm putting my final project together. For some reason I'm having problems getting it to show on the web. Anyway, when it finally shows up, let me know if you have any additional ideas on my subject. If I have time I might expand upon it.

Here I am in NC

I made it North Carolina last night around 11 PM. I would have got there three hours sooner if I took my usual route but my GasBuddy app showed me a station in Harrisburg, VA at $3 a gallon. So I waited until I got there to fill up. I just now did the math and realized, with the extra miles it took me off my normal route, I was better off filling up at the Citgo and taking the straight shot to my aunt's.

Anyway, it is nice to see Mom and my brother again after so many years. My sister couldn't make it for reason but oh well. Today we are going to Wrightsville Beach and get burritos for lunch. Then for dinner, I'm making lasagna, with Caesar Salad and garlic bread.

Quest For Cheap Gas

Yesterday I download a GasBuddy app for my phone. I had to ride with my wife and roommate to give his car a jump. All I did though is take up space in the car so I'm not sure why they needed me. Oh well, it was a good oppurtunity to see how reliable the app was.

We drove by a Crown station and yes, the $3.43 price tag did match up. We jumped the Nissan and I drove it home while the other two went shopping for a gift for my sister-in-law. On the way home I stopped by the Citgo on 198 where I always fill up to check that price. The app showed $3.47, which was correct, but that station had a cash-only price of $3.41 which the app doesn't show. It would be a great app if it enabled that option but until then, I'll never know what other sweet deals I'm missing out on.

I'm going to give it one more shot before my trip to North Carolina and see how well it does for long trips. It showed me a Sunoco somewhere in Virginia for $3.03. If wait until I get there to fill and realize I past a better price half way along the route or see a better price later on the trip, that program is getting deleted from my phone.

I took my final today in my computer hardware class. I did pretty decent this time. My overall grade came out even better. I got a B.

HTML results

I managed to finish off my HTML draft with a 95, which is a little better than I expected since I couldn't find a place to put that third subheading. My instructor remarked that I cancelled the heading and centering in the wrong order, but either way the tags were right next to each other so I don't see how that would have made any difference in display to the browser. Oh well.

Thursday I have my final exam for my computer hardware class, followed by nice pizza party. Then I'm going to North Carolina for the weekend. (I just had a second thought and was about to back up and delete for safety reasons, but my third one reminded me I'm going alone so my roommates will still be here. Sorry thieves.) My aunt is hosting a party for my brother's boot camp graduation.

HTML project

I spent Friday trying to get my HTML project done. I need to get three heading levels in there but I only managed to get in two. I also need to find a place where I should bold and underline text. If I have time after this assignment, I'll try to work on my wood project.

Also today I have to go to the rental office and have them fix the A/C. I should have known something was wrong last night when it felt cooler outside than in a bedroom with both floor and ceiling fans running.

Wednesday I did a little cleanup in the house. Wife was complaining about the laundry I left on the floor. Of course I don't even get a thanks now that I did pick it all up and in addition clean that nasty-ass bathroom. Oh well. I guess I better get on HTML project now. I'm still not sure what I going to make it about.

Missing you all

It's been almost a week now and I got no replies. What's going on? No big deal really, it's just not likely the fact I've made two posts in a row and heard (or rather read) nothing back.

So I spent my weekend going through chatrooms getting people to watch my video only to have them tell me to back off, put me on ignore, or ban me from the room. It was that, and sitting with the kitten on my lap who won't leave me alone. I don't know why it favors me when my sister-in-law is the one who wanted it.
