Whew. I have just responded by email to a bunch of blog comments going back to early last year. I replied only to those for which I had an answer or other response. I will try to be better at responding to future comments… (but no promises - life gets in the way sometimes).

My heart broke. And it is still broken. The Favorite, my Cleo died. In June 2010, she wasn't feeling well and had been moping around, not eating much for a day or two. Tests found a lump in her abdomen. Cleo had surgery on July 5, but the lump was located where it couldn't be removed. The area had...

What have I been doing for the past 2 years? Short answer: Not being creative. My creative juice dried up. I haven't crocheted, quilted, sewed, knitted, or done any other type of craft. Which pretty much explains why this blog hasn't been updated. Not much has been done to blog about. So, what h...

Breaking the silence here to just say that I've spent 12 at least 14 hours this weekend preparing 3 amended Federal tax returns (2005, 2006, 2007) and 3 amended State tax returns (2005, 2006, 2007). Changes to the Federal tax returns resulted in changes to the State tax returns. I found the problem...

I wanted to replace all hyphens in all filenames starting with 2003- and ending with .php. Here's how I did it using sed (no guarantees, no warranties, use at your own risk!): Backup the files! Change to the directory you want to make the changes in. Then, to make sure the right filenames will be c...

I'm organized. Very. I felt good with this setup. But it didn't leave much workspace on the table. So, on the day after Thanksgiving while Bill was working, I cleared off the bookcase in our bedroom and moved it into the craft room (thick felt pads on the bottom of the bookcase made it easy to mo...

In June on the longest day of the year, I'm reminded that it will be coming again as the days get shorter and the nights longer. It usually starts in September or early October and ends in March - sometimes April. The greyness. The heaviness. The cloud. Around my head, in my eyes, on my face, in my...

I spent the past few hours cleaning up the hard drive of my computer. Here are a few photos I took in February but never got around to posting. Wildlife Horses next to the campus where I work. There are cattle in the hills too. I've personally seen a coyote and deer (not together though!). There h...

Not much posting the last 4 months of 2008. On weekends, I've been wrapped up in making the Quilt Block Curtains for my craft room (photos to come!), and during evenings, I've been enjoying television sans commercials courtesy of our DVR. I stopped crocheting at the end of July - I was bored with i...

Believe it or not, it has taken most of the time between 9:00am and 3:30pm to upgrade from Movable Type 4.1 to Movable Type 4.23. The process would have been smoother if I hadn't had to create a bunch of redirects in .htaccess when I upgraded to MT 4.1 (because I changed from using _ to - in filenam...

I busily crocheted for the first 7 months this year and then burnt out on crocheting. I did, however, begin the first step in quilting: cutting fabric into squares, rectangles, and triangles and then sewing them together. Using the pieced squares, I made Quilt Block Curtains to hang in my craft room...
