Today’s post at Academy Caritas lists some free online courses that look very good. I’m considering using some of those to get back into the groove of school until I can go back “for real.”
I’m in a good mood, as I’m at the girl’s place and I got to see Steven today. Happy day!
Academy Caritas: Learning to Code, Part 5

Y’all are tired of me doing this, aren’t you? Learning to Code, Part 5.
Well, I had some fun away from the computer when my oldest nephew visited today. He’s a non-stop bundle of energy! We got the air hockey table cleared off for a game. Woof!
And I went to the library and checked out actual, physical books for the first time in eons, rather than eBooks. That was a trip. I had to learn how to use the self checkout thing all over again. I feel like a luddite when that kind of thing happens. I want to shout, “No, I’m not behind the curve, I’m ahead of it!” But the things I needed (technical references) were only available from the library on dead trees, so there you have it. I had to lug home many pounds of paper. Happy I am to be able to check them out, too, as those books are pricey!

Yet another post in the ongoing drama of an old lady learning new tricks, Learning to Code, Part 4. I actually put some of what I’ve learned (not programming, but updated web knowledge) to use and re-formatted my résumé so that it looks much better (to me, anyway).

Today’s main post is at Academy Caritas, Learning to Code, Part 3.
I spent part of the day helping Steven with his new web site, which was fun. I’m looking forward to reading lots of food porn there. Y’all go over and say hello, please?

I stayed up WAY too late last night studying programming. Yes, for fun. That’s my idea of fun, anyway. I’ve been yawning all day as a result, and I should already be in bed tonight because I need to be up early tomorrow. So this will be brief.
I’ve been enjoying correspondence with a dear old friend over the last few days. Isn’t lovely how, with some people, you can be out of touch for a decade and pick right up where you left off as if no time at all had passed?
I got to visit both a bookstore and a library today. I’m a happy bibliophile
