So I must be one of the few interns that has yet to post things to this nucleus thing. As sad as that is I find it very easy to forget with the memory that was blessed to me by my father. Anyway as for the summer. I, as most of you dont know, am currently interning with AGU (American Geophysical Union, if its in the Solar System it belongs to us.) where I am currently making a CD for the magazine Earth in Space. Never heard of it, yeah me neither, it is a geo- science magazine that is younger than I, only by a little. Basically all that means is that is started in 1987 (I started in 1984) and stopped in 2001 (whereas I am still kickin to this day, and hopefully the day after). Also it required a subscription and normally was only subscribed by teachers and future teacher wannabe's, but there are always exceptions to that rule. To make this CD I have had to endure reading all the articles, and let me tell you there are massive amounts when you have 110 issues with about 10ish articles per issue. So after that oh so great time, I was then able to start converting them into html. Which I will tell you was a complete mystery to me and a fun little adventure as I played with various programs such as Adobe Acrobat, Word, and Mozilla. Currently though I am actually able to prove that I am working as the CD layout is slowly, but surely, coming through. I have about two and a half issues posted to it, with working links and everything, and have more then I would like to think about left to put up into the monster. Unfortunately there is no quick way to do this and I may discover after a meeting I have on Tuesday that I have to go back and redo stuff because it wont be clean enough code, or I need to rename things. Basically if I dont get lucky I will have to at the very least redo all the linking that took me a while to learn. For all you computer html savvy people, I know that coding is very simply, but when first learning it you barely know how to create a new document, and it only gets harder before it gets easier. As for the rest of my spiel, I have two friends that are visiting me. Kristen and Angela, the Kristen is actually interning at the Capitol with some senator (they all run together after a point), but the later, Angela, is coming just for the fourth and then leaving Monday morning. I will attempt to remember to update this thready thing and keep all twenty people in the world that read these updated. Well thank you twenty people for hopefully reading this, if less than that check in on me at least I will have fewer people judge me on my horrid grammar and sentence structure. Have a good one everybody and Ill be rambling again here soon enough
