previewing and viewing
I’m experimenting with Snap at the moment. If you haven’t seen a Snap-enabled website yet, you might want to go ahead and hover over this link (forgot to mention: you’ll have to hop out of your aggregator and visit to get the full Snap-advantage). Nice, eh? I thought so. I have a terrible habit of ...
photoshopping
Just a quick one tonight. I received three email messages with questions about how I create my headers, so I thought I’d jot down a few notes that might help anyone who is interested. I use Photoshop to create headers. I’ve never had any formal training with the software so everything I come up with ...
groceries & plumbing
I went grocery shopping to-day, which in & of itself isn’t particularly blog-worthy, except I that never go grocery shopping, it’s something the mister has always done (along with the cooking and general pantry maintenance). It was a good outing, I stocked up on stuff for lunches (this is my favourite kind of lunch) and ...
more mozilla
While yesterday’s minor techie aside was a last-minute effort to satisfy my daily blogging commitment (although, who’s gonna call me on it?!), to-day’s techie post is well and truly intended. First, some backstory. I’ve never ever liked any email program I’ve used. Ever. From Pine to Eudora, to Pegasus, to Netscape mail, to Lotus Notes, ...
just in time public service announcement
The mister doesn’t get the whole posting daily thing. A conversation tonight: me: “damn, I haven’t blogged yet to-day” him: “so?” me: “I promised to blog daily!” him: “promised who?” me: “you know, the blog world! my readers! everyone! I made a commitment!” him: “[laughs] so how’s gonna call you on it?! what are they ...
non sequitur
Happy birthday, John Milton. It’s no gesture whatsoever that the rest of this post has nothing at all to do with you. I upgraded to Tiger a few days ago and it’s been good times ever since. Those widgets! That Spotlight! That Automator! Good times. I also upgraded to Firefox 1.5 and it’s been a ...
how
I recently set up a news page over at homebaked.ca, complete with RSS feed. It’s a miniblog published to a static page and I made notes as I went along, mostly for documentation purposes, but also to help out anyone else who is trying to do something similar (like set up a side blog, for ...
two more things, similarly unrelated
I’m at the start of an all-library-all-the-time junket at the moment: Friday, I was at the OLITA Digital Odyssey, Tuesday, I give a talk to the SLA Ontario Southwest chapter on blogs & RSS, and Wednesday through Friday, its all about library instruction at WILU (our very own, home-grown Canadian version of LOEX). I enjoy ...
Pretty! Shiny!
Good morning. This post is powered by a large cup of Earl Grey tea, a good night’s sleep, and one of these. It all feels a bit too extravagant, I don’t quite know where to look. As you already know, my computer has been going through all sorts of overload for a while now, and ...
