Small Victories

Posted in Random Business Thoughts by Dawn on the February 14th, 2007

With the challenges we have faced with losing key staff members, I’ve had to step up–or perhaps I should say “step back”–and relearn some of the old programming and HTML code that started me off in this business.  When I told Scott that I was thrilled with the outcome of my first CSS/XHTML/PmWiki conversion in a long time, he said he needed to experience more of those “small victories.” 

Prior to November when M&M went off to Yahoo, I spent such a limited amount of time accessing code in secure shell that I often forgot the password to access it.  Now, I am finding happiness in remembering some of the old Linux command line stuff I learned in Dr. Donnelly’s class way back when.  Today, I thrilled in seeing the work created playing with opacity and z-index style attributes to create a nice little message box.  In short, I’m enjoying the learning process and the outcome of the lessons learned.

Tiny steps?  Yes!  Small victories?  Bigger yes!
