Monday

I am proud of myself because I have spent the evening, thus far, working on Mosaic Minds. The content-fixing kind of crept up on me this time around, and I hadn't even started it. I usually try to get most of it done during the weekend preceeding the launch, but I didn't do it this time. Now I just have four random articles to go, and the poetry section, which I have put off for last because (no offense, [livejournal.com profile] lizardek) I really, really hate doing it. Too fiddly. Btw, have you ever noticed how much I use the word "fiddly"? Or maybe I don't, here. I do in the real world though.

Other completely random thoughts:

I have a major weakness for 1px solid black borders. I <3 CSS.

My car keys still won't work in the front door, no matter how many times I try.

I moved desks at work on Friday.. I have a window now. Unless you want to hear about Medicare, that's the most exciting news available on the work front. Actually, scratch that. Even if you DO want to hear about Medicare (and you don't) it's still the most exciting work news. Nothing exciting about Medicare, I gotta say.

The boy listens to the most awful music imaginable. Believe I might have mentioned that, but OH MY GOODNESS I wish someone would make it stop.

Many bouncy birthday wishes to [livejournal.com profile] queen_b980 (whom I work with and might or might not have referred to as D in the past) and [livejournal.com profile] e11en!

Peter, who must have anything and everything related ot U2 (if only for the challenge of getting it), often listens to bad bad bad covers of U2 songs. He does it just to torture ME!

Men are so contrary! Although I am guilty of doing that to M sometimes with bad bad recordings of Counting Crows songs. He is a sound-quality snob to some small degree, and I play crap that's been recorded in small studios with a handheld tape recorder and people laughing and talking over the music. *grin* But still!

Every time you write <3 ... I think it's a bottom so I think you're saying that you hate it :)

no no no, i LUUUUVVVV (ack) it! I <3 typing <3, actually. M tolerates this, but I don't think he approves. *grin*

Hmph. I answered this comment but LJ must have eaten it. Bad connection tonight. I really really like writing <3 but I try not to. M tolerates it but I think he wishes I would stop. *grin*

NOW it shows up. I refreshed the page twice to make sure it didn't go through! Darnit! Oh, well. Disregard one or the other.

I got geeky tingles when I realized that '1px solid black' wasn't english, but I read it like it was. :) You know what I mean.

*grin* I put 1px borders around everything I can get away with.. I was just feeling the love for it last night and needing to share. :)

Thanks for the birthday wishes!

You're welcome! Hope it was a good one. :)

No offense taken, but if there's anything I can do to make it LESS fiddly, I wish you'd let me know. Sorry for sticking you with the photo-resizing. :(

[identity profile] same-sky.livejournal.com 2005-09-13 08:43 pm (UTC)(link)
No, I did not just call you a donut. ;)

Don't worry about the picture resizing! It made me smile when I saw what had happened but I didn't know how to convey it without sounding like I was making fun or unappreciative.. I just knew that you've done it right all this time so it was just an oversight or a typo or something. I think there are a couple of things that could make it a little less fiddly, but I usually forget about it after the issue is done, so it's totally my fault and all. I'll try to remember to do that this time. :) But, it's a fiddly section by nature because there are many of them as part of one whole.. that's why I always hated the old entertainment section, too. Generally, I just appreciate the effort that y'all make and don't want to sound like I'm complaining!

I'm very good at taking nitpicking and correcting my mistakes, ask my AWC webwoman :) :P
