I haven’t been posting much lately because I’ve either been too busy to write anything or too not-busy to have anything worth writing about. So here’s a quick recap of what I’ve been up to, in more or less random order.
I’m thinking of moving our blogs to private hosting on WebFaction, partly because I […]

We had been encouraged, by our doula as well as by the hospital, to prepare some mix CDs for our birth adventure–for the drive to the hospital, for the hour or so after the baby had been delivered, and for the drive home. Finally, a parenting task that I knew was right up my […]

I’m really excited by the amount of progress I’ve made over the last couple of weekends, hacking away at what for now is known as Shindig, a group management blog/calendar app written against TurboGears. Its primary purpose is to be something easier and faster for me to maintain than ClePy’s current Plone site. […]

I spent most of the day doing the first big pass through the photos from our trip to Washington, doing some color correction and putting a rating onto everything. The next step will be culling through the good stuff–of which there is a surprising amount!–to find the things worth uploading to share. I […]

Good: Got first big chunk of big project delivered on time and more or less working as desired. Business folks are generally happy with what our team produced in the limited time available.
Bad: Had to miss the holiday party at German class in order to get there, so no Sekt and no […]

My recent vacation photos hiatus is in part due to spending last weekend being all responsible and grown-up and stuff–Laura, one of my nieces, came to visit us for the weekend. Note the use of the word “my,” a big step for me, as for most of the past seven years, the girls have […]

A day of bush-pruning and art-show-wandering has left me in the mood to close some browser tabs and have a happy little link-o-rama for June. Joy!
First off, how about 101 versions of “Stairway to Heaven”? And if your ears aren’t bleeding too much from that, let’s chase that down with the best 50 […]

Luckily, fortunately, thankfully, I’ve had a string of pretty good days lately.
Liz had to work for most of Saturday, so I used the time to knock a bunch of things off my to-do list, including a trip to the library to refresh my influx of new music, and a half-day of being able to work […]

Keeping busy. More than a little stressed. The next couple of days are (as usual) critical. So far so good, though…
I’ve graduated from being assigned weird shifts for monitoring the farm during Val to being on call 24×7 for the duration; I’m not sure if this is an improvement or not, but it […]

I’ve been totally stressed out by work lately, which means that, at some point, my head exploded and I found myself with a desperate need to play with Photoshop for a while. Thus: a crapload of new LJ icons!
