Town Day
Aug 27th, 2007 by Babs

Heard from one of my friends yesterday. She and I had been discussing applying for a table for Town Day. When she never got back to me I thought she had changed her mind. Then I heard from another friend that the two of them had applied together. Needless to say I was a bit depressed about this because we’ve been doing the craft fairs together.

Anyway, she asked me if I was still interested in sharing a table. She had just gotten the application approved when she found out that I was shutting down the store and becoming a “hobbyist”, thus making me eligable for the crafters tables. So the three of us are sharing a table for Town Day! I picked up some more hemp to make a few more pieces (either kid size stuffor head “bands”). Don’t know how many I’m going to be able to make as I have les than two weeks. I also have to design some display racks using Tinker Toys, and reprint the index cards that I made for each of the pieces already made so that I can change the prices to even dollars and have room to zap them with a hole punch.

Granted, this now means I’m not going to be able to hit the Friends of Robbins Library book sale preview, but hey, I might actually sell some macrame jewelry this time of year. 🙂

Oh, and as if that doesn’t make me happy enough, I happened upon a FULL frontal of one of the Equus promo pics. *fans self* I am naïvely ignoring the Photoshop comments.

Randomness
Aug 22nd, 2007 by Babs

I’m writing this while waiting for my Sansa to finish charging. I’m almost halfway through the Harry Potter CDs. Hopefully this charge will be enough to get through the second half. 🙂

The boys are currently in my room. Jarret is deliberately sneezing (raspberries included) all over his brother, and jumping on my bed. Ribbon is looking for a place to hide. Alas Amber already has the primo spot.

I finished moving my writing journal to Blogger, not that there was much to move. I did have to spend time working with the format, however. My LJ posts didn’t automaticaly format to Blogger’s settings, so I had to remove all formatting and manually go in and add the italics and bold. I created links to to both it and my cookbook, on IJ. While doing so I discovered IJ has given me more link slots to work with. Had I had them when I first started moving they would’ve been great, but now that the blogs that would’ve used them are already at home on Blogger, I don’t really need them. Later, I might update my links on LJ, as well as on GJ.

While working on the formatting various members of the Harem were whispering suggestions for stories. James wants me to continue “Indigo”, probably because it’s the one and only story where he doesn’t appear as a doofus. The G-Boys want me to get on the ball and work on the rewrite for “Links”. None of them care about my super hero story.

*sniffs* Ah, the smell of whole wheat bread baking. Yum! Jarret is already boycotting this loaf. He hates whole wheat! He’s going to be in for a shock when school starts back up. *evil grin*

Well, the Sansa is charged. Back to Harry and Co.

I’ve been going through the bounced members lists of all the Yahoogroups I moderate/own. Today I’ve noticed an increase in bouncebacks. This periodically happens due to a particular host deciding that another host’s content is spam and blocking email from them. Today’s finding was particulalry humorous because the host doing the blocking is Yahoo.

Yup, yup! Yahoo is blocking email from Yahoogroups. *laughs*

Harry Potter and the Cookbook
Aug 18th, 2007 by Babs

I’m busy ripping Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix so that I can listen to it on my Sansa.Yeah, I’m still going to “read” it even though the end was ruined for me.

While I’m ripping, I’m adding more recipes to my recipe blog. It’s still available for viewing by invitation. Though now that it’s on Blogger, I need email addresses to approve folks for viewage. I still have to move the recipes I had on Crunchy Granola ove, but I’ve got 11 newish recipes in the cookbook thus far.

In other news, GJ members are having a cow because they have to cut back on their icons in order to accomodate the influx of new members. Sheesh! I’ve been here for almost three years and it’s been rather dead. It takes the axing of icons for everyone to come out of the woodwork? *rolls eyes*

I nearly had a heart attack when IJ was turning up “502” errors. I wasn’t quite sure if it was down due to the continued addition of members or if something worse happened. Turns out it was because of the former. “Squeaky” was upgrading the site for improved performance. Wow! When was the last time LJ did that?

I’ve been friended on LJ by a Jesus Freak. *waves* We’ll see how that goes. Considering we’re all a bunch of frickin’ paedophiles… *snuggles up to Quatre*

Google Calendar
Aug 16th, 2007 by Babs

I don’t recall if I mentioned this before, but after searching for a calendar to incorporate my Remember the Milk to-do list into, I found Google Calendar. It’s a Beta version, so it goes without saying there are the occasional glitches. Like when all of my exercise entries disappeared for a day!

Anyway, I’ve got my personal schedule, my exercise schedule, and schedules for the boys all in one calendar. Each one has it’s own color. It is so much easier than trying to write down individual pages, and let’s not forget about the paper saved! The best part is that I had my calendar under my business email but all I had to do was grant permission for my personal account to view and alter everything, so now I no longer have to keep switching between accounts several times a day!

In other news, I was bored and started reading some of the newer comments to posts made at lj_biz. They (LJ) just keep putting their foots in their mouths, don’t they? Reading more of this nonsense reminded me to pull my four comms. Not that they were doing anything anyway, but it makes me feel better. I’ve still got two other journals to move. I really should do my writing journal tonight, before the muses convince me that I need to post something.

BTW, does anyone know why GJ and IJ both use LJ tags? I tried using an lj cut in my last post, changing it accordingly for GJ and IJ because that was the logical thing to do. Only it didn’t work until I changed everything back to “lj”. *is confused*
