Fun in the sun:

I'm heading to Wilmington, NC tomorrow to take a few much needed days off at the beach with my lovely girlfriend, and some buddies from back home in NJ.

Oh how wrong I was! Tonight and the rest of this week I'll be making sure I'm maximizing my time in the terminal so I can really get that down pat. We got into some of the structural realities of HTML in some of the homework (which I worked on during our free work time) which was easy enough after pounding through Ducketts book last month. This is rambling and ill conceived, but I have to admit I...
