Indoors USA Things To do

November 14, 2008

Are you already getting the winter blues now that the cold weather has started setting in? What are you going to do when winter really kicks off in December and January?  I’ve decided this winter I’m going to bone up on my web skills and learn some new things like web design, search engine optimization and perhaps do a little bit of marketing.  I’ve even considered making my own worpress themes and customizing them for friends and family.  I decided to do this as many of thw custom wordpress themes I’ve found dont work with the widgets I like to use.  I dont have the necessary skills to create my own widgets and find it really frustrating trying to get the old widgets to work in new custom themes.  Creating a custom theme that has working widgets or is widgetized as they call it is proving to be quite the challange but heck I have all winter to work on it.  If you looking for something to do this winter try learning some new skills or compete in a web competition like the one on How to make extra income online.  This widget contest is one i’ve throught about looking into.

Indoors USA | Bought A New Computer Today

April 17, 2008

I finally broke down and bought a new computer.  Well not new really I bought a used HP Laptop from an auction site.  It may not be brand new but it’s a whole lot better than what I had.  Until I started looking I didnt realize how cheap the prices on laptops have become.  I remember when they were over $3000 now you can buy fairly new ones for less than $400.  Cant wait till it gets here.  That’s the only bad thing about buying from online auctions.  Hate waiting on shipping.  I just sit and stare at the mailbox like it magically going to appear, lol
