From Daniel's desk

Well it's Christmas and I am here at work at the Network Operations center taking a break. One thing I don't know any more is how to handle people. I mean I have been trained on how to deal with people all through my life. But its like after my experience in the Army, I get aggressive. As soon as I detect someone trying to get over, I get on the defensive. I am one of the most kind hearted on earth. However if you try to take advantage of my kindness, heaven help you. I use to like the way I was self-controlled. Now, I am afraid, I can't control my anger. I admit I am blessed with a good paying job, but I don't know how much more of life at the NOC I can handle. I envy those with their Monday through Friday 9 to 5 jobs. Not needed to work on holidays. Some times working the graveyard shift makes you feel like a social out cast. You need to interact with others. I admit my commute is only 20 minutes, compared to the day shift workers who average 2 hours. I don'...

This is a W.BLOGER test 3:10 PM Well I have deviated from making entires this journal. I think its essential to tap in my thoughts. But I have so many tools to choose from. I have several B logs: http://dangomez.blogger.com http://dangomez.pitas.com The open source alternative http://www.ujournal.org/users/dangomez/

I noticed that the W3C has some interesting tutorial and technical information in regards to learning HTML. Http://www.w3.org/MarkUp/Guide/ In addition to technical information you can still sift through the site and get begginer information. Also www.w3schools.com offer some free CBT type courses.

I have the fear that I will not become a writer . Not only that, I fear, that I will be unknown . An idea came into my head. "Why not publish my book on Blogger?" But if I do, what if I publish it and then, someone mimics the idea? What can be done?

I guess I struggle with myself a lot lately. Its as if I was in this mode to have hopes and dreams and then, with a hard dose of reality. I struggle with what have I accomplished so far. Where is my masterpiece? Where is my success? Where will I leave my mark? Do I have something to contribute as a writer? I am a Telecommunications technician, by trade. But I am a dreamer at heart.

I am so mad I ran across a Bloger newletter site and I lost the URL. :-( I don remember, what the heck it was.

I came across an ariticle on blogs in CNN. Interesting. http://www.cnn.com/2002/TECH/internet/05/09/blog/ I also signed up for pitas www.pitas.com

I hope that one day someday I would invent something. I want to do some thing where I will leave my mark in society. Something that is acceptable and not illegal. To be an innovator, like the inventors of old. I would like to go hiking one day. I went to the brigade quarter master web site and I was able to look at some interesting items. I would like to have one of those Spec Ops / RTO back packs. However they are expensive. Things that would be great to have. Canteen, canteen cover Pistol belt Sleeping bag stove hiking boots first aid kit

I went to the Drupal websit. I am puzzeld as to the usefulness of that site. www.drupal.com

This is a test... The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog, and then had a beer . :-)
