Wow, today has been a busy day. I came in this morning a little tired and expected to finish a few things that I started yesterday.

Anyway, here's the rundown of today:

• Apparently, there was a 5.8 earthquake in Virgina around 2pm. I was unaware of it, but curious when my chair was moving under my desk without me moving it. I thought it was a low-flying plane or a big truck or a fast train, but when I went to go check outside, none of the above were present. After going through my emails, apparently Glenn Beck reported on it, but I was not aware. More details can be found on Google Maps and USGS. This makes the 2nd earthquake I've been through (and the 1st one I've been conscious for).


• I am in the process of finishing the last episode of Voyager. It's still a good series, although it seemed like they ran out of material in the last season (as usual).


• I called the Fox News guy back and began our ad run with them. I was contacted by Tom an hour or so ago with his expertise, and I'm glad that we were on the same page: it's a gamble, but hopefully it pays off


• I talked to Janet today, and she's working on her new place. I can't wait till she's ready to open for business!


• I was also contacted by Tom with a potential client connection. We have performed a site analysis and sent it over, all within 20 minutes


• I finished the PiLam mobile site, and that worked out quite well. I used Shadow Dev's mobile site as a template, but overall, I think it works nicely


• I received feedback from Lionel, and although I don't completely agree with the idea of switching from our current web development means to a mobile-only app development


• I had a potential client walk in today and talk about his new service. His service sounds nice, and I told him I'd have his quote by Friday. I got it to him today. Hence the saying "Under-promise and over-deliver" - thank you Dad.


• I sent an email to Dr. Lockwood for catchup and to get a meeting time for our monthly Shadow Dev meeting. Hopefully I get a response back soon.


• I added images and information to a client's site and implemented a function to display September-only material in September. So far, it works well.


• I finally received the new address for the Pi Lam house. Can't wait to see it!


• A client had some images that they sent over that were too small. Apparently, they googled images and sent the thumbnails. To be honest, I'd really expect an organization to send over some higher-quality images for a site like this. Hopefully, we can get some better images soon.
