Mr. B's Domain Version 8 LaunchedAugust 17, 2008
After almost five years, I finally got around to a makeover of the website.
I won't call it an improvement aesthetically but the new website introduces some practical advantages.
This is the first website I've done that does not accommodate 800x600 displays as they have almost completely fallen out of use in the past few years.
Along with the added width I've also upped the text size to something more readable, both to accommodate less than perfect eyesight
and increasingly gigantic computer screens people are now using.
There are no significant content additions to the site at present but I have removed some depreciated pages.
As the new design is rather simple and open, it should be even easier to make changes and keep things fresh,
which is good because it will probably be a while before I am satisfied with the appearance of the site.
I recall saying the same thing when I released my last website but this one is considerably less complicated so periodic changes will be much more tempting.

August 26th - The End of Summer (Vacation)
Things have been reasonably quiet as summer vacation draws to a close. Work has been quite uneventful for my duties but we are still seeing plenty of patients. Although I "completed" my website last week, I have continued to work on it. Only this past weekend did I finally come up with a satisfactory color scheme.
My brother Jeff was in town this weekend. He flew in from Chicago where he spent the summer as an intern with a construction firm. For reasons I cannot fathom, he is transferring from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor to LSU. He was here to pack and move to an apartment he'll be living at in Baton Rouge. Mom and Dad went up there with him on Sunday so the house was rather quiet.
On Monday, I was at home answering the work phone rather than at the office. Dad bought Jeff a vehicle today and had to go get it taken care of. He bought Jeff a '97 Mitsubishi Montero. He got a great deal on it and the SUV runs well. The main drawback is that it’s one owner, a relative, is a smoker and the car smells and has stains all over the place.
I did go to the office on Tuesday. On the way to work Dad and I stopped at Office Depot to pick up a financial calculator, an HP 12c Platinum, which I will likely make good use of in an upcoming introductory finance course I'm taking in the fall semester. I spent some time at work today learning about how it works as I've never used such a calculator before.
