How’s it going? Long time, no chat (for me at least).
So far, here’s what I’ve been doing the last couple of weeks.
An ice creamery / catering / sandwich & coffee shop (done & in for owner’s review & comment)
A photography studio (I should be done later tonight / tomorrow morning & then send it in for owner’s review & comment)
An advertising firm’s office (I met with them yesterday and will start on it tomorrow)
Also, we just converted the office from a wireless network to a cabled network. The installer finished up about 2:00 on Friday, and I went ‘live’ with the network about 2:30 on Friday. So now I’m working out the technical glitches as the come. So far the worst problem is one computer that gets disconnected at the exact same time every day. But I think I’ve got that problem solved (I’ll know at about 6:30 tonight). It is a much more reliable connection and the speed difference is great! Blazing hot SPEED!!!
Could y’all help me out with something? We’re redoing our website (www.smeebusby.com) and we’d like people to give us feedback about speed-of-loading issues. We’ve got local friends with DSL & cable connections checking it out, but the more feedback we get the better, yaknowwhutImean? Just an idea if a page takes 5 seconds, or 10 seconds, or 45 minutes to load - and on what kind of connection… We’re shooting for an average of 3 seconds, so this will give us a clue how we’re doing in comparison.
The pages we’re really interested in are “Gallery” and how fast those photos load. FYI, the projects that are/were ‘mine’ are Our Office (1st row, 1st one), Cannon County HS Addition (1st row, 3rd one), Bread Box Prototype (1st row, last one), and Cabana Key Condos (2nd row, 2nd one).
Another one we’re concerned with is located in “Other Fun Stuff”. Click the photo of the Market Square, and it will load photos shot out our windows of some of the concerts last year (it even has a photo of our Elvis ‘performing’). This is the longest loading page (about 20-30 seconds) on our website. But since it’s just for “fun”, we’re not REAL concerned about speed-of-loading – most of our potential clients are going to be in the Gallery anyway.
Added bonus: there’s a photo of me on it. Go to “Who We Are” and click on the photo of the guys. This will load photos of everybody in our firm – I’m the third person down, and KAMommy is the fourth person down.
Anyway, here’s the reason:
We’re hosting our website on our own server, and this will let us know if we need somebody with much better/faster equipment to host it for us.
And last (but CERTAINLY not least):
We’re 30 days out from WDW! Yippee!

Morning!
I was out of the office and off of the computer yesterday. I took a group to the Reagan Library which was absolutely facinating. They have Air Force 1 there and have built a pavilion around it. It's just beautiful and very interesting to walk through. This is the plane that Reagan used and it is quite small compared to the current plane. Not luxurious like I imagined.
GD, it was good to have you check in. I checked out your website and it took about 20 seconds for the home page to load. Everything else was quite quick until I clicked on the "Fun Stuff" and that took a little while (about 45 seconds) and the Market Square link took about the same.
Tricia, you have fun skiing! I know you are already gone but I'm thinking about you.

Good Morning Chicks and Gents!!! Trying to help fill in Tricia's shoes while she's enjoying all that snow!
Hey GD~ great website... my computer is slow in loading, so don't go by me, but it came up pretty fast, I'd say within 15 seconds or so! Nice site! and it's nice to see you & KAMommy too!
Hazzi~ are you going to share your website with us? Hmm, hmm, pretty please??
I'm off to the office in a little while, we have two basketball games this afternoon and two more tomorrow. I still have to get tomorrow's programs done. Last minute? nah, I thrive on deadlines!
We're also having a fundraiser for our former head baseball coach today and a raffle at half-time of the men's basketball game. He had a heart attack in January while at a baseball convention down in Orlando. So we thought we'd raise some money this way. Anyone who gives $25 gets a sleeve of golfballs (they're worth $10)!!! We'll have some of our athletic gear as raffles...no used supporters though!!!
I have Monday off!!!! YEA!!!!! Tucker has to go to the groomers, and I have to try and catch Dakota to take him for his annual shots. I'm closing all of the doors upstairs & to the basement so he can't run & hide. Last time, I was able to get Malibu in the carrier, but Dakota ran & hid under my bed!!
Have a great day everyone!!!

Hey GD - I'll have to go check you out. 
Jeanny - sounds like another crazy weekend for you!
Hey Susan - haven't talked to you in ages! Sounds like you had a fun trip.
We interviewed 2 real estate agents today for selling out house next year - they both came highly recommended and completely contradicted each other about when we should put the house on the market and what we should do before we sell.
They both agreed we should get rid of some of this dang clutter. Hey! Who bought all of this crap?

GD - the page that took the longest was the Sundown and Sundries. It probably took 30 seconds. The rest (that I looked at) was much quicker for me.
You're so young and peppy looking! I expected all that laundry to have worn you own by now.

Good Morning Chicks and Gents!!!
How is everyone this nice crisp morning? It's getting a tad bit cloudy up here, the weatherman (weatherperson?) predicted snow down on the Cape. I'm further up Northwest, so hopefully just flurries.
I'm SO looking forward to tomorrow's day off.... even though I'll still be up early, taking Tucker to the groomer's and Dakota to the vet's. I can't wait to get to the hairdressers and do something for myself!!! I'll come out a little more blonder and a little less grey!!
