The Site & Stanley Cup ‘09
The website has been up and down due to a hard drive failure on the server. The provider has restored the files, but it appears that there are still some issues being ironed out.
On to my main topic, the Pittsburgh Penguins and the Detroit Red Wings will begin the duel for the Stanley Cup tonight. This is a sequel, that I’m not entirely happy with. They played each other in the final series last year. With 30 teams in the league, it seems improbable for the same teams to make it to the final series two years in a row. I’m not a huge fan of the Red Wings to begin with and it doesn’t help that they’ve already won the Stanley Cup eleven times.
The Red Wings are not happy about the re-scheduling done for the playoffs. There was going to be a bit of a long break between the two rounds. In order to keep fans interested, the NHL moved the games up and scheduled two back to back games this weekend, one today and one tomorrow. The Wings have players that are injured or playing hurt and would have benefited from more days off. I think this is the best idea the NHL has come up with in a long time. Two consecutive games should make for interesting hockey and spark more interest.

My Thesis Images
I’m re-posting some images from my thesis. I did this mainly to get two galleries on one page. Once the images were added in this post I added the following text to the Volume Rendering page:
[gallery id="388"] which pulls the images from this post into the page.
I’ve also recently learned that Texas Tech has published theses on a webpage. Here is where mine can be found: My Thesis
New Site Design
Recently, I helped my brother, Dustin, get started using WordPress. WordPress is a website engine that makes creating and maintaining a blog easy. I’ve looked at it before, but didn’t look at some of the more interesting features, such as adding themes, widgets, and plugins. This time I did and I liked what I saw. The website I was designing needed additional features and I never could find enough time to write them.
I’m having some issues with images. WordPress doesn’t seem to allow multiple image galleries in a single page. Feel free to add comments and suggestions.
