    This site has never been about Journals for me. I've tried several times to keep an up-to-date journal here, and have failed to keep it going on every attempt.

    This journal will only be updated when I have something meaningful to say.


Well, I went and got myself a new computer; a LAPTOP no less, and this time Windows Vista (Currently installed is Business Edition, but I'll be upgrading to Ultimate soon I think).

As part of this upgrade/migration, I've also upgraded to PhotoShop CS3 (along with all the other Adobe programs in the CS3 suite), so I might have need of some tutorials to learn the new stuff in the CS3 verion since I am familiar with PS7. Anyone know who would be best to ask for occasional help (free of course)?

On the "Day Job" front, things are still going SNAFU (Situation Normal, All Fucked Up). Well, that's not COMPLETELY true. I'm trying to get back into the Information Technology field, and if I don't successfully land a position by FY09 (July 1st, 2008), I'll be pretty much SOL (Shit Outta Luck), since I don't have any FORMAL schooling or training in IT - Only self-taught and On-the-Job training... But I am looking into getting the former taken cqare of within the coming school year by enrolling in a local IT school or College program to actual quantify my experience and skills.

I've been busy with focusing all my attention to this career switch, since the deadline is so important to not miss, but I promise that 2008 will be having many more things uploaded to dA from me. I have a master plan, and I mean to stick to it this year.

More will be posted here as it comes to fruition...

Many blessings to all in the coming year 2008!

Thank you!

    Dusty

Hey! I know I don't know you or anything, but I think we're both in the club if you know what I mean.

Would do a guy a favor and read my first attempt at a story and give some feedback?

Thanks!
