N5BIA 

We live in Texas, along with Rufus, our cocker spaniel. I am a pilot, amateur radio operator, and amateur photographer. To pay for these activities, I work as a technical writer, web site developer, and an electronic technician. Darlene loves to watch wildlife, collect pictures, collect dolls, and fix up the house. To fill in her spare time, she works as a data analyst for a pipeline inspection company. We both like to travel, particularly in the US. We have visited Arizona, Connecticut, Massachusetts, California, Tennessee, Georgia, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Mississippi, Florida, Alabama, Washington state, Oregon, and Alaska.

What's happening here

This is a playground to let me try out ideas and techniques for website development. This particular instance is based on examples developed by Eric A. Meyer. He works with css style sheets (an understatement!) and I'm trying to learn from the master. His original work on this design is in his complex spiral demo. I adopted some of his techniques directly, and adapted some others to meet some goals I established when starting this project.

This site is also a place to store and share information about our interests. As time permits, each of the pages in the menu to the left will be updated to reflect the latest experiments and expanded as new information becomes available.

For the record, this site best viewed with Firefox.

News

December 2006

My hobby kit website, n5bia.com, is up and running. Still a few touchup items and some sections need more information added in the future. But at least it is available to help project builders. I'm also trying out some new web development tools.

To Do

I'm starting this list to keep track of ideas and tasks.
