The bus trip is sponsored by the Penn College Alumni Association and will take up my entire day on Saturday. I like going to New York City as long as I don&#8217;t have to drive. I&#8217;ll probably visit the Museum of Modern Art again to draw inspiration from modern art. Maybe I&#8217;ll get some ideas for new web designs. I&#8217;m currently very focused on web design and have really cooled it on the programming. I did a few case studies of web designs I downloaded from the <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.oswd.org\/\">Open Source Web Design<\/a> site. I also learned how to use the <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/malsup.com\/jquery\/cycle\/\">jQuery Cycle<\/a> plugin to animate an image slideshow without using Flash. If you don&#8217;t think design requires any technical skill you should have seen how much trouble it was to prevent the background from appearing behind a fading image. I really should learn how to do that in Flash too.<\/p>\n<p>Currently I&#8217;m reading the book &#8220;<em>GarageBand for Dummies<\/em>&#8221; by Bob LeVitus. This is an excellent introduction to multitrack recording using digital audio software. I&#8217;ve learned a lot of this stuff from studying Reason but it is useful to have it reinforced with simpler explanations. I probably won&#8217;t be using GarageBand much though because it is not as sophisticated as other audio software I have.<\/p>\n<div style=\"padding-bottom: 0px; margin: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; float: none; padding-top: 0px\" id=\"scid:7dc1bd33-94bd-46fd-a20b-0131235bcd47:99553550-84de-4f48-ae40-ad4522d1c1d4\" class=\"wlWriterSmartContent\">\n<table cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"2\" width=\"400\" border=\"0\" unselectable=\"on\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"400\">\n<p><a title=\"GarageBand for Dummies: Bob LeVitus: Books\" href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/exec\/obidos\/ASIN\/0764573233\/robertrobbins-20\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/images.amazon.com\/images\/P\/0764573233.01.MZZZZZZZ.jpg\" border=\"0\" align=\"left\" style=\"float:left\">GarageBand for Dummies: Bob LeVitus: Books<\/a><\/p>\n<p><b>ISBN<\/b>: 0764573233<br \/><b>ISBN-13<\/b>: 9780764573231<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<p>Last night I totally uninstalled Visual Studio 2005 because Windows Update kept trying to install a security patch and frequently hogged my CPU. I discovered that I had both the Professional and Standard versions installed which will cause you a lot of problems. However, you can use Visual Studio 2008 to work on .NET Framework 2.0 projects so there is really no need to have that old version installed. I am still unable to install the Silverlight 2.0 Tools because uninstalling Visual Studio 2005 did not help with the install failure.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I am going on a bus trip to New York City this weekend so I won&#8217;t be getting any work done on Saturday.
