Do any of you record Dollhouse? We don’t do cable, so Katie and I have been watching it streaming on Hulu. This coming Friday’s episode isn’t going to be streamed, though, and we don’t want to miss it. Any chance of some help? Pretty please? It’s fairly amazing how much you can find to watch […]
Victory!
On with the quotations obsession project. I swear, it’ll be useful for something other than keeping me busy. Someday! Does anybody know PHP/MySQL well enough to help me do that? Anyway, one reason that I keep going is little successes like the one I just experienced. I love research, and I’m attempting to find information on […]
Who is/was Vascavus?
I’m still playing with my quotations database. I have a perfectly lovely item that I’d like to include, but I can’t find any information at all about the author, “Vascavus.” I’ve Googled and searched otherwise. The only place I find that name is in one guy’s quotations file and as a .sig line another guy […]
I missed what?
It was National Grammar Day AND Gamemaster’s Day, and I didn’t realize either until the day was almost over! It was date night, though, and my favorite GM and I did play, so at least there’s that. I’ll have to get him a make-up present, though. Do you know all those different click-to-give sites? I […]
Nerd Joy!
We’ve been scanner-deprived for many months now, because the multifunction printer gave up the ghost. We acquired an older model HP scanner via Freecycle a while back, but it wouldn’t work. The moving bit inside had been locked down for transport, and just wouldn’t unlock. It is never a good thing when you get a […]
Blah — Spammers Are Scum
Not that it’s news to anyone, I know. But Defensio was down this evening (because of an Amazon server failure), which meant that all of our sites have been slammed with comment spam. They all get hit constantly, but it’s usually a non-issue because Defensio filters almost 100% of the crap before we see it. […]
New Addiction
Whoops! What have I done to myself? I was frustrated that there were a fair number of books on my “shelves” at Good Reads that had no associated cover image. I collected all but, I think, two of the cover images for the books I had listed in Now Reading, but couldn’t find a way […]
Good Reads Migration Finished!
That was not painless at all. The import feature is tetchy, at best. I had to go through the entire list of 1300+ books and fix their “bookshelf” assignments as well as add some that just didn’t import at all. I had over 1400 books in Now Reading, and I haven’t quite figured out why […]
Switching to Good Reads
Well, I think I’m about done waiting for an update of Now Reading. I’m about 1/3 of the way through fixing the 158 broken links on this site caused by the plugin not working with the latest versions of WordPress, and I found a plugin that exports the books entered into NR to a .csv […]
Sleepy!
I didn’t sleep very well last night, although I managed to stay up all day yesterday (unusual lately). Unfortunately, I ended up sleeping most of the day, today, and I’m still sleepy! So I hope I can sleep well again, tonight. I have a fever, too, so apparently pushing myself to not nap was a […]
