Back and Back and Back Again...
Hello! Five months is a little better than my previous absences, right ( Read more... ) -
::hands you a spoon::
The spoon is not for food. I need to borrow your eyeballs, and scooping is easier than plucking. Pretty please?
The reason I need your eyeballs is because... the rough draft of my online portfolio is done! And by rough, I do mean ROUGH. Hence the need for eyes.
Specific things I'd like your input on (and problems I've already spotted):- I know ( Read more... )

So, how about them Oscars...
I posted a status on Facebook, and I was going to repost it here disguised as an entry, as well, but a conversation ensued before I could do that. So I'm just going to put the whole damn conversation here, too. :P ( Read more... ) -
Do you even portfolio?
My search for a patch of internet to call my own is not going terribly well. Also, my spellcheck seems to have decided I should be writing this in Russian. Again. ::fixes ( Read more... ) -
Now is not the time to be sleepy...
So, there's apparently an unexpected downside to soft-shoeing my way out of this funk... it means I am now together enough to be stressed! Or maybe it's just that the unexpected upside of being perpetually down on myself and freaking out every time I needed to deal with things was getting to live a little while without the looming juggling ( Read more... ) -
In Which our Hero learns to Do Her Own Damn Taxes (and her fiancee's, too!)
God, being a grownup sucks. At least I'm currently unemployed, so I can do this without disrupting my weekend.
Right now I'm poking around the internets to try and find decent Idiot Guide software... TurboTax has a free online version for simple Federal returns, and moss6886 has been using their software for years, so I feel confident in them, but they ( Read more... ) -
Computery Mayhem!
Well, El's new computer got built (even though his fancy new hard drive was a DOA lemon and we had to use the refurb he got for my old minitower - Newegg is pretty decent about customer service, so it shouldn't be a big deal) and mostly set up last night... I still need to get ZoneAlarm installed on it sometime today, and get files (photos, etc.) ( Read more... ) -
Saturday
Note to self: Roundy's brand generic Froot Loops are a pale imitation of the real thing.
Various fancy boxes from Newegg have been arriving all week, containing most of the bits for El's new computer (and a refurbished hard drive for my mini tower/future media server). We attempted to cannibalize the video card and RAM out of his current computer ( Read more... ) -
Progress. Also, a Request.
So, proving I am and always will be six years old, I got all excited when I learned that Reading Rainbow lived on as an app. But I discovered something horrible this morning... It's not a smartphone app. It's not even an Android or Windows tablet app (I don't have either of those, but may eventually). It's an iPad app, and ONLY an iPad app. ( Read more... ) -
A Very Grand To-Do List, or, Blogging for Sanity vol. Wherever-We're-At-Now
So the blergs have finally seized me... it's been waiting to happen for a long time now. In that light, I appear to have gone and made New Year's resolutions... I NEVER do that. I mean, I've made half-hearted lists because that's supposed to be the Thing that you Do around NYE, but never actually resolved to do anything. So, here follows my ( Read more... )
