Overall I would have to say it was a pretty good week. I mean it could have been worse, right?  Not to much happened in the first half of the week. Deb went to work, Dylan went to school, etc. On Thursday we had a checkup for Marissa and Dylan’s Parent Teacher Conference, which you can read about in the post below this. Marissa is no 27″ and 18.5lbs, which explains the back pain Mommy and Grammy have been complaining about lately.

Work wise I finished up working on a learners portal page for a large client. What made this interesting is that they gave me an image and said “Make a page that looks like that”, and it has to be Section 508 compliant and you can’t use tables, use CSS (Cascading Style Sheets). Now I have worked with CSS before, I mean it is what controls the look and feel of this website and where things are and all that, but I have always modified CSS code that somebody else had created, I never had to create something from scratch. I am happy to say that I figured it out, learned a great deal about CSS, and made my manager very happy. So all in all it was good. I also think, that since we will be doing more projects like this, that I am going to get some formal training in CSS, which is good. I know that the code I wrote works, but I also know it could have been done much more efficiently.

That’s if for this week, hopefully the Giants can get their act together this Sunday and beat the Bears, another team they *should* be able to handle.
