Updates

I spent a large portion of today tweaking the first of the tutorials. I wanted to input the new widget that generates the completion certificate. I also cleaned up some other things I had notes on for them and got the newest versions uploaded to the test server. The member of the web team I've been dealing with in getting them uploaded to the live server has been quite responsive and they were live in no time at all.

Unfortunately, later in the day I was plagued with more technology problems. Will they ever stop???? In this case, the new computer for my computer decided to malfunction, in a variety of ways. First, a (seemingly) random number of keys would throw the computer into sleep mode. Then various keys stopped responding. And then certain keys decided to just input themselves where ever. It was a nightmare.

Luckily, the one thing this household is not short on is random computer parts. I went out and scavenged a keyboard from the garage. I managed to download the appropriate installation software and drivers (for Vista 64 bit, even) and got it installed. I had a moment of panic when nothing happened when I depressed the keys but then I realized that since it was a wireless keyboard and it hasn't been used in over a year, it most likely needed new batteries. Two new batteries and I'm able to work again.

As I've said before, I am most ready for these technology issues to STOP!
