Well the only problem is that raise put me in a new tax bracket and now the more I make, the less I make until the end of September when it catches up. I lost over $200 in my last paycheck and made less money with *MORE* hours than I had for my last paycheck. I'm hoping this will eventually balance out because I don't see why I'm busting my ass to make less money.

Yhamuna, you might be able to help me. I am trying to create a script or whatever for my comics. I want to b able to have a first, previous, next, current option to view the comics. I cant find an easy way to do that without manually creating links on every page. with the current setup I have one page that includes a sort of tabbed box thingy that will hold the comics. Do you know of any way to kind of archive them? An example is www.ctrlaltdel-online.com/comic.phpIt has options to view each comic. anyway if you have ideas, I would love to hear them.

Sounds like what you need is a photo gallery manager. I don't know of any offhand, mostly because I couldn't find anything like that. Thus is why I use Photobucket for my game screenshots. I suggest looking on www.hotscripts.com to see if you can find anything like what you're describing. Most of them may require you have access to a SQL database though. Tell me if you find anything you like, and I'll look over it and tell you what you need to use it. I dunno how much knowledge you have about php and databases, so that's why I say show it to me, if you don't know what to do. Good luck!

BIG NEWS!
Well not reallyl, my mom is getting married apparantly. But its a good thing cause she plans to be divorced six months after anyways. Basically, our neighbors have a friend from Mexico who needs his passport and the only was he's going to get it is if he gets married to a Canadian woman. My mom offered to marry him IF they pay her 2000 bucks and if they completly redo our bathroom (they are carpenters) cause the bathroom here is pretty much falling apart. They are still talking about it but I think it will go through.
I did make sure to tell my mom about both of them signing a paper to make sure the Mexican guy doesn't decide to take us for half of our belongings. I've heard that story several times with NORMAL marriages about one person taking the other for their personal stuff and I don't want that to happen to us. So my mom says she will make sure the dude signs the contract before they follow through with the whole thing.
I don't mind in all honesty. Its a new bathroom for us and the most my mom will have to do is kiss him when they says "you may kiss the bride" XD

Kik, I wouldn't know how to do that with PHP, which is what that site you showed listed... But an easy way would be to create a layout of a page with CSS. If you're building your website by hard coding HTML, then you really should learn CSS as well. Basically, CSS can be used to create the theme of your website and then you use the HTML code to link to it so it is very easy to change WHOLE websites (which could include 1000 pages) in one go by just editing that CSS script. Create the whole layout in CSS as you would with HTML then you can literally just copy and paste that code but change the comic image every time. That's the way I would do it, but then again, I'm not a web developer. I guess the drawbacks with this is that you have to create a whole new page for every page of the comic. It would be a painless way to do it though, as you're literally just coping the comic page before it and changing the <img src> tag. I probably didn't do a good job of explaining, so check out: www.html.net/tutorials/css/Honestly, unless you can find some scripts or something to download, I would of thought this is the best way of doing it. Plus, it isn't that hard to learn.

Cloud, that is actually what I am doing. The pages are PHP, but I am just making each page with a template I made and copying the comic over and linking them all together. Until I find and figure out a script, this will work. www.officeninjacomics.com is up and finally showing comics. I have a grand total of 2 finished. they are the early ones I did so they show their age a tad bit. I have finished scanning in the newest ones finally. I just have to outline them in photoshop and upload them.

CSS is what i used back in my web dev days. It was easy. And it was nice if I wanted to make small updates to the layout I only had to fix one file as the rest would adjust automatically.
The home doesn't have a lot of problems. It has its share but then again so does every place you move into that isn't brand new. But the bathroom is just disgusting. Its falling apart and needs fixing.

I dunno, I had problems with CSS. Maybe it was because I was working with the newer CSS. I need to brush up on CSS sometime, it's the main tool used to design a page/site now days. I haven't done anything in relation to web design since I quit school, I sorta got sick of it.
I have some PHP knowledge, but I'm still not good at that either, I think I passed PHP with a C? I just didn't understand it very well... mostly anything that required using math to make it work. I suck at math!

I leave for Vegas in three weeks. Looking forward to it.
I also decided that once spring comes I'm going to go back to school. Just to get my high school diploma. Anything afterthat I have no idea.

It's worth it just to get the diploma. I won't act out an after school special here, but seriously, it's just one of the things society expects you to have and y'know nothing's guaranteed in this world, but it's nice to have the odds in your favor.
I'm worried about our grandmother. Recently she's been having leg pains in much the same fashion as my grandfather. Now I'm aware the chances of her coming down with the exact same kinda cancer as my grandfather had are extremely low (especially since the type he had affects less than 1% of people in NA in the first place), but I'm nervous. She's having trouble getting up and down stairs and since she lives alone, what are we going to do if she falls? And she just plain REFUSES to get those life alert bracelets....
And what are we going to do when she goes to Florida for the winter?
I don't like this, and if I speak up about it, mother dear goes off on a "DON'T SAY THOSE THINGS SHUT UP" tangent. Ignorance is bliss indeed.
Further bad news has the damn brat and my thief aunt and useless uncle coming to visit this weekend. At least I'm working most of it. They're only here to mooch though.
In good news, LotR is coming on TNT this weekend again so at least I can watch that and find some sorta sanctuary.

Thanks! You know some people say "why did you drop out? you could have went to college and gotten a better job instead of dishwashing" but the thing is, I know me. Even if I finished high school I would not have went to college cause I never know what I want to do. And going to college when you're not sure what to do is a waste. Even with a diploma I still would have had my hose making job, I still would have had that week long hotel job and I still would have had that fucking horrible job at City Spring. And in the end, I still would have ended up back in the kitchen washing dishes. Like I said. I know ME and I know nothing would have been differant. But I am at a point in my life where I am thinking I am ready to make some changes and my high school is the first step. Anyways, mom decided to back out on the marriage thing. She told a co-worker and that co-worker talked her out of it. I did not know all this but if she were to marry the mexican dude the guy would have to live with us for atleast 3 years and she would be 100% responcable for him cause he is foriegn and stuff. We did not know this but because of that my mom backed out. Neither of us want some mexican guy living in our house. So....thats off.
