I Gave it a Title

I've been instructed to blog and it's been a while, so here it goes. I've been really enjoying my web programming class. There are tons of improvements to HTML5 over the previous version of the spec and I've never worked much with CSS, but am finding it beyond useful. I was very weary about using Dreamweaver because I remember it being a horrible monstrosity that butchered all of the code and added extra metadata to every page header. Keep in mind that I haven't used Dreamweaver since it was a Macromedia product. Dreamweaver CS6 is as intuitive and responsive as the rest of the Adobe suite, so I'm pretty happy with it. I'll be dicking around with Javascript this week, so we'll see how much I like that. One thing I'm not happy with is iOS7. All of my iPhone using friends are ranting and raving about how amazing the update is. I admit that it is gorgeous in an Android look-a-like sort of way and they did add some very important and useful (but not easily accessible) features. The update itself runs fine on my phone and is as responsive as iOS 6 on my aging device. I don't like what they did with the calendar. Instead of opening a day in list view when I tap on it so that i can easily add my my work schedule to it, it opens in an hour-by-hour view so that I can't easily see what time I work because it only shows a few hours at a time. The podcast app is also almost entirely unusable now. It crashes 30 seconds into the episode and COMPLETELY hangs the phone for another 30 seconds. I'd really like to get a MotoX when my contract expires, unless a better android phone comes along. As much as I appreciate the uniform experience of iOS, it's just too streamlined and simple for me. Jason and I have been looking into buying real estate for a while, then we stumbled across a condo in the 15 and Utica area. It was built in 2004 and is in pretty good condition. The inspector seemed to be impressed with the place and told us the life expectancy of all the fixtures and HVAC equipment. The seller decided that it no longer comes with appliances (the process of getting to the bottom line of contract is a story in itself) so we will have to save up for some decent ones. It's a short sale, so it's going to take a while for the banks to fight over the paperwork, which will give us plenty of time to save up for some good appliances, but at the end of that period the bank who owns the property may decide that they no longer want to take the hit and back out of the sale. We'll see. Work has been the same as it always is and there's not much else going on right now.
