Down time

I wish I could say the down time was mine personally, but unfortunately it was that of my website. There were some problems with the FrontPage extensions on the server side. There have been for quite some time. I’ve been uploading FTP this whole time but the free programs tend to clutter up your site [...]

What have I done?

August was a weird month. I’m glad to see it go. I’m now one month closer to something else. I’ll let you know what it is as soon as I do.
I realize I’m going against everything I said, but I just took a shower and feel better than ever for another all-nighter of homework. I’ve [...]

Development

Site streamlining continues. All my photo galleries are finally up and running again. Tweaking with them on a sub level is progressing. Web advice I’ve recently taken: un-justify text to improve readability, remove frivolous junk from home page (i.e. counter and CSS validator logo). I press on.
As Dale was kind enough to point out, I’m [...]

Minor update

I got some gallery stuff posted with an experimental format using JAlbum 3.5. It’s good stuff. Very flexible. Use it because I do.
Nothing new in the galleries yet. I’m still knee deep in redesign. Even jk.com v5 will more than likely come out as v5.1 before long. I’m developing a sub site called “jaymekohler.com | [...]

Situation report

There’s nothing a some time in the woods to really clear your mind. After less than 24 hours camping, I came back with a fresh perspective on everything from web design to school work to banana bread baking. You can already see the leaps and bounds the web page has come. My school work, now [...]

Six hours of sleep: The eve of day 1

My alarm is set for 0500 so I can get into the embassy and get some work done. It is now 2314 and I’m under my six hour mark, but that’s okay. Six hours was the max.
I went on another ride today. It’s almost a habit again. My plan for tomorrow is embassy until about [...]

Revelations

My body has, historically, taken exactly as much sleep as needed. I’ve never woken up after 14 hours and had a sore back. I’ve never felt more tired than when I went to sleep. I have, however, felt as those I’ve wasted the better part of the day and resolve to do better. I resolve [...]

Progress

Captain’s log: Star Date, uh, well, you can figure that out. A bit more progress to report. The following sections are now jk.com v5 compliant: about, calendar, and statement. For those of you who have never read the statement section, it may come as a shock. Be forewarned. In addition to the details provided in [...]

Can’t win for losing

I’m on the trembling edge of finalizing the jk.com v5 template. You’ll notice my archives nav bar left aligned with the first journal entry. This frees up more space in the right navigation area and streamlines the template process of which I’m moving forward on. Long live CSS styling! It’s hard to believe that when [...]

Release

I’ve finally gotten to the point where I can release a bit of jk.com v5 without feeling guilty about the presentation. And yes, the picture on the side bar is me. I dig it. Unfortunately, this is the only page you’ll see with v5 applied to it, as I’ll be using this as a template [...]
