how was everyone's weekend?
Mine was fairly rewarding. I had plenty of time to sit on the couch and watch cartoons and still get a handful of things done around the house (cleaned the kitchen 3 times, packed up all the camping gear, beaded a long strand to hang from a whirly-gig that Steff got me for my birthday and hung it outside, went with Chris to get a new lawn mower to cut our weeds. . .). Chris cut the "grass" for the first time this year. So what, we live in the woods. :]
Funny thing was, we were trying to decide what to do with the old broken mower and in lieu of posting it to Freecycle, we decided we'd just put it out by the road. It usually takes a couple of weeks for the trash collectors to pick up stuff like that, and I knew someone would grab it before that happened. Sure enough, about an hour later, it was gone. Someone got a good score. I know it's fixable, we just didn't want to mess with it.
Exciting, huh? Sometimes I wonder why I have a journal at all. The things worth posting, I never get around to putting up. The mundane bullshit just seems to flow.
Hell froze over. I started working on pages for my website this morning before work. Nope, the site's got no purpose, no business, just stuff for me mostly and anyone who cares. I guess that's what personal sites are all about though, right? I'm making it look pretty much like my journal pages and intend to interlink the two. Also, it's where I'll keep the stuff I don't want to put up here (blog for current projects, calendar, research and what not). I just like the theme I'm using for my journal so I'm sticking with it (nice clean lines, earthy colors, very simple, etc.). I also want to pull my pics off of pics.chrislehmann.net and leave that to be galleries of trips, events and what not and create a pics.melmoore.net for my project pics. Once I get the set on the style, it'll be a lot of copying and pasting and adjusting content, so I'm hoping all will go a little faster than the first page once it's done.
Yeah, I'm probably not doing this the most efficient way, but I'm attempting to learn something in the process. I'm using Nvu as an html editor, mostly so that I can preview the page as I edit the source (which I realize I can do anyway, but it's easier for me using Nvu to do so), and the code validator is nifty, too. I tried their little user interface and it blows. Seems easier to just learn the html (and so far, I've gotten a lot further doing just that). Hoping to have that little project done in the next couple of weeks so I can cross one off my list.
Thanks TP for the storm warning! I raced home, hoping to catch my fat puppy before she heard too many claps of thunder and wiggled her way into the house. Unfortunately for me, she won the race. Unfortunately for her, she's now in BIG trouble. Fortunately for everyone, she didn't tear anything up in the process (this time).
And I was just measuring on Saturday for the dog door. Now that we have a jigsaw, maybe I can get that done this weekend.
