Only one of the above bits o' eyecandy have I purchased. Sigh. The internet is so soothing. Since the move last August I have a freshly sparked interest in pretty little things for the house. A girl can always shop, can't she?

Pottery Barn's Apothecary Bath Collection. Mrwowr.

I've never had such a deep winter slumber. We had a marvelously wet and early spring, the above was taken in February. A miniature daffodil hill sprung up in the middle of the garden. While only a few flowers bloomed, there are dozens of the plants in an ancient raised bed surrounded by a stone circle. We've since weeded and now wait to see if any more blooms will happen or whether we'll need to unearth the bulbs come fall to put the daffy back in the daffodil.

We've started an absinthe garden and sprinkled the earth will drifts of california wildflower seeds. The herb bed I planted in the old stone pond has exploded, yay!

Apologies to those near and far for the silence. My inbox is a wasteland and I'll be touching base with all of you soon.

*stretch!*

P.S. Oh, see the new site design? I'm still sweeping up, more to come!

Wahoo! OMG. I posted.

I laugh when I find myself getting nearly as worked up over this one-day course outline: "Application Usability 1: Page-Level Building Blocks for Feature Design" as I do over the release line-up of a Dolpa.

I guess I picked the right field to be in. *happy sigh*

To you who feel like failures because you spent last year honing your web skills and serving clients, or running a business, or perhaps publishing content, you are special and lovely, so hold that pretty head high, and never let them see the tears.

Edit: Neato LJ crossposting feature. Blastmilk.com comment posting will be optional for a bit. I'd really like it if folks posted on the blog! *bats eyelashes*

(blog home readers, please ignore my lj comment jockeying!)

My dsl and phone line have been down for three days. I'm logging in now for the first time since Friday. Will try to catch up with everyone today! With my access being minimal at the best of times, forgive me if I am behind or you haven't heard from me.

Love,

Bloggy freshness.

How come a leetle template tweak turns into a three month long project??? Guh. I just wanted to fix display issues in firefox. And I ended up scapping my old templates and starting with a fresh batch of MT virgin templates.

I don't know why it took so long. Oh yeah, because I'm freakin' indecisive! I get 90% done with the layout, and the module headers (wee nav banners on the left and right) absolutely elude me.

I'm still tweaking it, but I had to get them up before I went nutso.

*dancing around in circles*

Remember this post? Obvious PMS hissy fit aside, I think he's done it. Really done it.

It's here: Better File Uploader 2.0! | Eat Drink Sleep Movable Type

Totally worth the $10. Pay it.

Just tested and with simple plugin upload, tweaking some settings, MT suddenly has wizbang gallery creation at last! With lots of options, especially if you know your css. BAM! And I had six images uploaded, w/ same height ratio, with css wrapper (or NOT!). And it will stack entries, or paste them, or append to your entry.

And completely compatible with my previous gallery hack. wahoo, I say.

K, more testing and then I'll post something.
