portfolio and a quiz

I’ve been working on a portfolio site separate from 3till7.net because I didn’t think the one portfolio page I had here was sufficient. I have most of the content up, including my job history, my skills, a contact form, yadda yadda, and now I’m focusing on the layout. I’m wanting something clean and sleek looking, but other than that, I’m not sure of it. Maybe mostly white with lime green and gray? I dunno, I’ll figure it out. I still need to incorporate the best photos from my Flickr albums, but I don’t know what kind of gallery tool I’m going to use for that. I may just stick to the same Flickr plugin I use here on 3till7, because while it’s overkill for what I need for my portfolio, it’s very customizable and I’m familiar with it. Trin’s portfolio was a big inspiration for me creating one, even though I can’t find hers currently on her site. It would be nice to be able to point someone at my portfolio online when I give them a copy of my résumé and know that whatever goofy layout I have on 3till7 at the time won’t influence them, and it’ll be completely separate from the ramblings in this blog.

I just got a quiz back in calculus and I was tickled to have gotten 7/10. We were all watching in kind of amused horror as paper after paper was passed out with “0/10″ marked up top. I asked our professor what the average was and he just responded, “Not good.” I think I did as well as I did because I knew the method to follow (we’re doing first order linear differential equations), I just got messed up on integration and differentiation. Turns out I’ve forgotten a lot since Calculus I-III, so yesterday, I went over integration by parts and logarithmic functions out of my old textbook.
