MicroEconomics…Yuk!

For the last eight weeks, I have been taking a Microeconomics course online.  This has been a real challenge!  I really struggled to get through the course.  I understand the concepts, but having to graph ATC, AVC, MR, MC, Price, Quantity, etc. (yeah don’t worry about knowing what those initials stand for, if you don’t already know them, you don’t want to learn them!), and then answer questions based on those graphs…. Yuk is all I can say.  I will say, I have been miserable though!  It should be over now.  I haven’t seen my final grade, but I think I managed to get a B out of it.

Now I start Macroeconomics this week.  I hope it isn’t another miserable eight weeks!  I will also be taking a communications and networking class.  That should be fun.  I will continue my sixteen week class in C++ as well.  I normally do good in computer classes, however I can say I bombed my midterm in C++.  Mostly because I was so frazzled over economics that I didn’t prepare for the exam.  Oh well, as long as I do good the rest of the semester, I can still pull off a decent grade.

It felt good this weekend to finally work on a few things other than school.  I managed to finish my final exam for microecon on Saturday morning, so that left me the rest of the day to work on moving this web site, working on fixing a computer for somebody, recovering 15G of pictures from another persons faulty hard drive and…. well I guess that was enough!

Move is complete!

If you are seeing this post, then the cyber move has taken effect.  I believe I managed to move everything over to the new system without any interruption in service, meaning you should have never noticed any downtime of my site.  The one thing I didn’t move was the photo gallery.  My old hosting company broke the program and I didn’t want to waste time trying to fix it, I just figured it would be better to start that over as we have all the pictures.  I did upgrade the gallery program and the plug-in so now there will be a gallery link at the top of the page, and when visiting our gallery, the header will remain so it is easy to return to this page by clicking the home button.

Again, if you see any problems, broken links, etc.  Please email me so I can fix it.

WE ARE MOVING!

That got your attention!  No we aren’t moving from our house, but we are moving in Cyber world!  My website has been hosted by Ipower for several years now and they haven’t been too bad (though in the past 6 months I have begun wondering about them)  However I now have three distinct web accounts as well as some other add on domains and it has become economical to start my own hosting.  I now have a reseller account under gtbhost.com and I am in the process of moving things to the new servers.

So what does all this mean?  Well if everything goes as I planned, then you may see an outage of this site for a day or two at most.  We should still receive all Emails without interruption, however if you do get an error after sending an email, just try again in a day.  Once I am done moving everything, all will be back to normal.  You will still visit us at www.thebeckerhome.com and all email addresses will be the same.  So we are moving in Cyberworld, but the new cyber home will look and feel just like the old one!

Oh, and by the way, if you would like your own web site, let me know.  I can sell you space and domain names.
