I have finished the “We Remember Them” site for the POS-FFOS (Parents of Suicide – Friends and Family of Suicide) group. (They are a great support group for those that are affected by suicide.) This is another site that had to be totally rebuilt due to the One-Man-Hosting-Company that refused to provide any customer service, had availability problems, and would not give the group access to their web site files and databases. So I have had to rebuild every site on a new host (Bluehost, which is excellent, BTW).
The new We Remember Them (www.we-remember-them.com) “was created to provide a place for people all over the world to place the names of deceased loved ones so that their names will not be forgotten. I think it is quite nice-looking, and easy to view the names that were submitted. There is an “Outreach” page that contains links to other support sites (many of which I have re-built). The sites are highly recommended for those that need support and comfort.
Now it’s on to the next project for the group. There will be some programming challenges, but I think the result will be worth it.
In other news, we had a bit of snow last night, ending up with about 2 inches on the ground. So I got a bit of exercise this morning clearing off the 50-foot-wide driveway with my snow shovel. It wasn’t too bad; consider what my old friend John Dominik (he lives in Minnesota) has had to deal with:
“It took me about two hours to get the mail box shoveled out. You don’t want to know Driveway time.”
I’ve now gone to full-time status at the new job. Keeping busy there; the latest project is a series of vbScripts that will combine their web site log files into one location for visitor reporting. That’s been sort of fun; I enjoy doing programming (although I am certainly not an expert). It’s nice to have those “Aha!” moments when something works correctly.
Hi and all. Speaking of John D., I’ve missed seeing his posts since last June and note that in the last couple of days his site has gone missing. I know he was struggling with health and work (lack of) issues, do you know if he is okay? Thanks, and seasons greetings. Your old home town and we (Stockton) are seeing a bit of rain this week.
