Mioduszewski Blog

Well, progress is being made on my list of stuff do on my site. I got the automobile pop up working and any car that had more than a few photos now has a link. I also added bookmark links to the site; if you notice at the top of this box there are some icons … So now you can add to your favorites, print, email, put to Facebook, etc. Now my next project is work on my next background and blog for Mioduszewski dot com!!!

Wow … has it really been eight months since I added to this home page????? Let’s see … what have I not posted here? There was Thanksgiving at the Sinhas’ in Tampa with Larry; there was Christmas and New Years; I went to Las Vegas to participate in my first national bowling tournament. The tournament ended up being a learning experience … I needed to practice more. Since then, I have actually starting substituting on another league; in the past several weeks I have been averaging around 195. And after another trip to Kegel Training Center this July, I see a season-long 200 average possible.
Why haven’t I been posting my photos here? Mainly, Facebook has a much quicker process, as opposed to resizing, saving, and then uploading. It also gave the option of having captions and tagging. Well, I am one step closer to having that myself! Of the few projects that I have been (slowly) working on, one being a stepping stone to that I finally working. I did get my cookie project working a few weeks ago (with some advice from Larry Kagan) … but I haven’t “launched” it yet because I want to create a different background. If you wish to see it work, there are some links on a test page that will change the color of the text sitewide.
Maybe I will post here more regularly from now on. Who knows?

As I was going through my memory as to what I have still on my digital camera, I remembered that I wanted to re-build the Photo Album section of my website. Not necessarily something that you would notice visually, but where I would only have to upload the original photos into a folder and one page with a small script on it. Everything else would be dynamic (thumbnails, enlargement window, maybe even comments). I found a tutorial to get it started, it’s just a matter of getting it done. Besides, there are only images from a brief weekend in Orlando and even less from a Labor Day bbq at Juan Ribero’s house.

This past weekend I went on a little trip with the AMF Pines Youth Bowling League to the annual state tournament held at Boardwalk Bowl in Orlando. We stayed at the Clarion Resort and Water Park in Kissimmee. The event had been held at the same place last year (which I heard was a first) so we got to stay at the same hotel as well. But this year it was more of a real water park since last year the only thing finished was one pool. We all had fun, the kids did well, and next year I get to plan it all for when we go to Port St Lucie. The hotel, auto show, and Sunday photos are seen here.

It never fails, when it rains – it pours. Two weeks ago I finally purchased a second digital camera; I wanted something smaller than the Olympus which I have had for years. I plan to keep it, if only for its large 8X optical zoom. But that is the reason I got this new Kodak M863: smaller optical zoom (3X) allows for a pocketsize camera. And low-and-behold the following weekend I had two different parties to attend to: one for Misty’s graduation reception at her mother’s house, and then Juan’s house-warming party. And even though I got a free 1 GB memory card, I only took about a dozens photos total.
