A big HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my sister Amy, who joins me in the 30’s today. And just to show what dorks we are now, her preferred birthday gift? A couple domain names for her forthcoming baking business.
Month: July 2009

Beer Geek Chocolate Salted Caramel Cupcakes. Oooh, that sounds good.

After feeling fuzzy-headed and crap all week, suddenly I’m firing on all cyclinders. Good thing too – today has been manic at work.
My grandpa just forwarded me a picture of an albino peacock “as proof of God’s beauty.” He means well.
Internet – please tell my sister that carbolicio.us is an AWESOME domain name for her bakery.
@nametrader True. She tried to get it but somebody’s squatting. Given that it’s part of her surname, I’m hoping she’ll get it eventually.
@nametrader Carbo, believe it or not. She’s been emailing back and forth with them. She’s made an offer; waiting to hear back.
Finished all my actual work for the day, then spent an hour doing my other job for the Guild. And my shoulders are aching from coughing. 🙁
@Alacaeriel Did you turn off the wifi? If you walk through a lot of wireless areas in the city, that can disrupt the GPS I’ve found.
I got a hell of a stew goin’ on.
Another day, another Guild brouhaha. My website report for the Exec was CENSORED to replace the word “Ravelry” with “the internet”.
@Ezzles I can’t believe you actually did it! The world needs photos…
@bellsg Totally agree. I am obsessed with Joan’s look and am seriously thinking of dyeing my hair red and buying a girdle.
@knitterjp @mrs_sockvictim FRITTERS? MUFFINS? CUPCAKES? What part of “low carb” do you guys not understand? YOU’RE KILLIN ME HERE! 🙂
@bellsg We’ve only just watched the first season. So I’ve still got more to go!

HomeSite
Oh man. Adobe finally killed off HomeSite. All of the websites I built in the 90’s were done with HomeSite. I even got quite a few folks at Netdecisions using it. I’ve still got the CD somewhere in my office. (The original developer wrote a few words about it too.)

Luxury Craft
Is canning and preserving a moneysaver or a luxury craft? I’ve got no illusions there; it’s definitely a luxury craft. I’m glad the author makes the apt connection to knitting. We do these things to feel connected to our environment, to produce something tangible with our own hands, to create something that hasn’t existed before, and to bring a little bit of joy into our modern lives. We’re lucky that we have the opportunity to do these things. But no, it won’t save you any money. This is what money should be for.

Peeps
“First Peeps Store Opens in Maryland.” HORRIFYING. They claim it will include – *shudder* – “Peeperphernalia.” I should probably move there, given that I am pretty much the Buffy to this Hellmouth.

Feeling much, much improved today. I might survive the weekend after all!
@mrs_sockvictim Awwww, I can get a fill-in for the baking if you want!

No, Facebook is not “overpopulated.” Deleting accounts doesn’t make a website run faster. That hoax is ten years old at this point.

Still sick.
Still sick. I made it in to work today, barely. I really can’t afford to be sick right now. I’ve got too much on this month. Too much.

You’re supposed to “feed a cold”, right? RIGHT?
Still a Mucus Monster. Thanks for all the sickness tips…
Well, nose and eyes are still running but I feel marginally more lucid than yesterday, so the plan is to try to go to work.
Three days? You guys are decadent! I felt guilty enough having one day off. 🙂
