Looking For Quacks In The Pavement

    Thanks once again to the creator of Monaural Jerk for showing me how to reverse-sort the journal entries. Now the newest additions will always be at the top of the page so you don’t have to scroll down to see if there’s anything new on a given day. Hooray!

    I’ve also learned how to make the “synopsis” data appear. This means that all entries with synopses (which would be all of them, mind you) back to the beginning of the database will be shown with little parenthetical comments.

    My next goal is to completely redesign how individual journal entries are displayed. Wish me luck. Send me cocoa.

  • Scan me, baby.

    Via Blogatelle, the blog cool enough to list Captain Rooba and Red Sugar in its Reading List, comes the Free Online Barcode Generator.

    I am not a number! I am a… well, okay, maybe I am a number.

  • T1 down, then finally up again

    Oh boy.

    Starting late yesterday and lasting until just a bit more than an hour ago, the T1 that feeds this website, www.entercom.com and a number of other servers in the building, was very very down. It appears to have been a problem at Qwest rather than with our equipment or Pacifier’s.

    It doesn’t help that today is a high-profile day for Entercom’s website. This does not make us (me) look good for insisting that we can host the website reliably. Oh well.

    In other news, I’m doing some tinkering with this site in an attempt to redesign and re-order the journal output display. (The center column, if you like.) Wish me luck as I dive headlong into things I probably have no chance of understanding.

  • Stay back, I’m a meme carrier.

    I am so damned cool. Thanks to me, both Tinkrbel and the Cosmic Babe are doing the Friday Five.

    Er. Tinkrbel’s site didn’t respond for me when I tried to reach it just now, but maybe it’ll work for you. Both of their most recent FF responses are more interesting than mine, so it’s worth the effort. Really really.

  • Music Video Progress Report

    After three solid hours today spent working in VirtualDub and Premiere, I can confidently claim that by day’s end tomorrow my third anime music video will be complete.

    My progress reports to the animemusicvideos.org journal can be seen here.

  • New toy, new toy! Two toys in one!

    As if the world needed more proof that I’m one amazingly geeky geek.

    I have one of these!

    The only downside is that it’s a bit bulky, but not really that much more so than my Palm m105 so I’m not upset about it. It weighs about the same as the m105 and my Nokia put together, which sort of makes sense.

    Hey Heather, I can play more games on my phone than you can on yours! Nyah nyah nyah!
