I don’t mind getting spam from scammers, but when the scammer emails back with a whiney “why haven’t you replied” note, then Julie Smash. #
For anyone who avoids fanfic ’cause “it’s just a lot of porn”, try this: http://bit.ly/9h6WDh No porn, but it might make you think. #
And this is why you get the money up fromt: http://bit.ly/dCYywG #
Wow. This is big. http://bit.ly/Wdstx #fb #
Desk at work got moved again. Will now spend the rest of the week
readjusting to a different ergo setup. Bleh. #
I have to take my glasses off to clean them, but then I can’t see what I’m
cleaning. Aaarg. #
For 100K labels I’m sending a proof, even if it is a reorder with no

For cases where wordpress is being used as a CMS, a “sort posts by last modified date” would be very helpful. #

More of the “re-doing old pieces to see what I’ve learned in the last few years”. First, the new piece:

The first version, done sometime around 2004 I think. (It’s amazing the metadata that gets mangled in 3 different computer migrations.)

And finally, the original photograph.

The boys are playing Magic. I’m painting. Life is good. #
I’ll be going down to 1-2 pics per week in the near future. (I’d like to do more with spring than spend every blessed moment at this desk.) #
More snow tonight. Yay. And by that I mean, please kill me now. #
One interestng thing about scheduling posts well in advance is I’m almost as surprised as everyone else when they show up. #
Is there some sort of PHP debug tool for dummies out there? I don’t mind my template changes borking but I don’t know /why/ they’re borking. #
Or why thery’re working, for that matter. #
Stevie Nicks can cheer me up out of almost anything. #
Netflixed some eps of friday the 13th (tv) and the 1990 dark shadows. They’re horrid, but I can see why they caught my 15yr old imagination #
It’s amazing how impossible it is to sleep in when you have a headache and a hungry cat. #
I’ve completely cleared my WIP folder and have posts scheduled up though early May. Wow. #

Decisions, decisions

So, I’m considering buying a cassette tape converter. (which doesn’t always mean much – I’m good at talking myself out of spending money most of the time.) I’ve already re-bought ~~some~~ most of my old tapes, but I’ve got a bunch of mid-90’s folk, filk, and renfair tapes that are either completely out of print and unavailable or are out of print and expensively hard to get.

That’s not a huge hardship. I only get a real burning urge to listed to them every few years, (ah, nostalgia) and we do still have a tape deck in the house, but 1.) these are old tapes and every run though the player degrades them a smidgen more (not that I took stellar care of them back when…) and 2.) I’d have to dig though the damn closet to get to the storage bin, and that’s a lot of work for something I’m going to have to re-pack into storage. Also, 3.) I am quite used to digital convenience by now and would like to use some of these tracks in a modern (ipod-esque) manner.

So this may be one of my spring/summer projects. If I don’t get distracted first. :)

I blame Steven Moffat.

No, I *really* blame Steven Moffat. (10 points to anyone who knows why :) )
