Holy cow! Somebody actually is doing some work in the technology department in my school district!

This is a “hot wired” PC that I needed to extract some of my documents off of. Such a great use of technology.

It’s almost here! The new and improved Facebook, that is. I’ve been granted a sneak peek at the completely redesigned user interface that looks like it’s been built from the ground up.

First let’s start with the profile page. Immediately you might notice all of those annoying applications have disappeared and have been replaced with the user’s mini-feed. The wall is built right into the mini feed so you can read any activity that has occurred between users recently.

Next, the user’s basic information has moved to the second of a few tabs right next to the profile picture. Clicking on it brings up all of the info that the person has provided.

Photos are next on the tab set. You can browse the photos that the person has been tagged in and also see their albums that have been uploaded.

And last but not least, the final tab holds all of the user’s applications that they have added on to their profile.

All of the tabs load with AJAX, providing a very streamlined and quick page transition to the next tab.

I must say that I am very pleased with the changes that Facebook is making to the website.

Things are going pretty well. I still have my ups and downs but for the most part I’m doing pretty well. I’m starting to think that it might be social stress or some type of anxiety related to that. It could also be in combination with a parasite that might feed off of the stress. Who knows?
