after the hiatus

I'm back. Finally. After 7 months of not writing, 4 months of which was spent in a no-brainer zone.. I'm back. I miss my own little space here where I can just type away my ennui & surprise myself with hits on my tutorial pages (which, I even updated today). I can't believe that tutorial page for tweaking multiply themes got really popular!

Anyway, I feel so lost in terms of my career path. On one hand, I'm planning to study at UPOU to take up their Professional Teaching Certification Program to be able to get the Licensure Examination for Teachers (LET). On the other hand, I'd like to pursue something in the field of Computer Systems & Programming. Maybe I'll just go for both, I'm all for life-long learning anyway! Even if it means shelling out a lot of bucks (ulk!).

I'm currently teaching part-time and enjoying my work schedule; gone back to Windows XP with a sad face because of our hard drive limitations (my husband & I just share one computer with a 40GB hard drive); and trying out scalable vector graphics with Inkscape.

The biggest problem I have so far with using Windows XP with Dan is that we don't use the same programs. This results in a redundancy of our programs. I use Firefox2, he uses Opera; I use OpenOffice, he uses MSOffice; I use The Gimp, he uses CorelPhoto-Paint; I use Inkscape, he uses CorelDraw. Got the picture now? I just can't do away with my open-source programs.

I believe I should have my own PC, and I'm adding that to my wishlist right now. I so miss my Fedora.
