# Yup. I'm going to have to switch off my internet today, I think.
And I will - in a bit.

# I get up with every intention to get my webste finished
then I log onto my computer and head straight to b3ta and then I don't do anything else for the rest of the day
- in all fairness I've got to re-educate myself on CSS and maybe CSS3, HTML, PHP and MYSQL which I'm sort of mentally putting off all the time.

I want to build a site that has an image gallery that automatically creates thumbnail icons of my images that are linked to the pictures and something
that I can sort the images by filetype and whether they are for the b3ta gallery or my own galleries.

# No it's not as diffcult as it sounds
I have a very detailed PHP book that show me how to access a directory on my website
and crop and/or resize a picture to a specific size and save this thumbnail to another directory
where it can be used as a thumbnail to the picture in the orginal directory
- that's not a problem it's putting it together with CSS and HTML so that the thumbnail
appears in the correct place with it's link on the webpage. I'm not great at CSS but still
learning mostly poaching bits of CSS scripts from tutorials online and modiftying them to work with my website.

I'm ambitious about this website as I want to demonstrate that I can design my own website.

I get up with every intention to get my website chapter finished then I log onto my computer and head straight to b3ta and then I don't do anything else for the rest of the day.

You've pretty much described what goes on in my house.

# I get up, go to work then lurk on B3ta all day.
I really need to get myself a job where I have to do some work.
