“A typical vice of American politics is the avoidance of saying anything real on real issues.” - Theodore Roosevelt

DESKTALK:  I think the world just passed me by. Everything seems to be changing so much and so quickly it’s hard to keep up. The work shown above (however cryptic it may seem) in this video is an example.

To accomplish what I need to accomplish in an effort to preserve decades of my webwork (namely Vermilion Views) requires more time “to learn” how to prepare a document to make it possible. It’s not enough to have initially learned how to write the hypertext for the original Vermilion Views site. Now, to save that information (i.e. all the text and pix) I must rewrite (or better said, unwrite) the links that take one to the original site, and place them a new format that will ensure all the work isn’t lost when I’m no longer around to continue paying for the site.

My work has not been essential to preserving the history of our community. But it’s useful.

For a five or ten-year old child this is probably elementary stuff. To an old buck (and I use that work to be nice) like me it’s like learning Chinese.

However (and that’s a big, big HOWEVER). I am determined to succeed.
