I downloaded a copy of VMWare Workstation 4 so I could try out Windows .Net Server 2003, and I'm really impressed with VMWare. I just hate the fact that it's so expensive. I'd like for some of the open source alternatives to be more up to snuff, so I wouldn't have to pay for it. TIme to roll my sleeves up and work on some of this code.

I also got a chance to try out FrontPage 2003 Beta, and I like how it's changed. One of the reasons that I liked Dreamweaver over FrontPage is that I could see the HTML and Preview my changes at the same time. You can do that now in FP2003. Another thing is that when I see the code and the preview at the same time I can click on an element in the preview and the cursor goes to the location in the HTML view.

Also, I'm thinking about setting up Plone or Movable Type to play around with setting it up and seeing how I can ease updating our web site.

I still gotta redesign my web site. I think this time I'll take the time to do it right and employ some design principles.
