Not a legend but the name was fun. This is just the random stuff I've thought about and want to remember. If you find it useful, hurray! If not, you'll know me better anyway.
Notes and nerdy talk from the girl who’s such a geek, she’s made herself a #0 Geek t-shirt to prove it.
It wasn’t so long ago that I forked one blog into two. I think my hope then was to actually get a real mommy blog following, or a real geeky blog following, but with my attention so divided I never really did either. I now have Yet Another Blog: http://legendofvelda.com . Cooler name. Makes me […]
MoreIn case you hadn’t heard, yep, I’m working for Automattic now and I love it. So I’m not available for projects right now. If you’d still like to contact me, I may be able to refer you out to people I know who would suit you well, based on the kind of project you need. […]
MoreToday I heard about the cool search tool called Alfred. It reminded me of this HISHE where Batman and Superman discuss The Batphone+Alfred vs Siri. Hehe. So far, though, Alfred is so cool. One of my colleagues recommended these links to help me get started, and I thought I’d write them down so I don’t […]
MoreI needed this information and had a hard time gathering it from their online catalog, so … here you go. Three ladies t-shirt cuts (Gildan 64000L, 5000L, and 2000L) in their available colors, and with pertinent information. Judging by the sizes of the women’s arms, I’m guessing the “Junior Fit” is actually quite a bit […]
MoreWho is your audience, and what do they want? Here is a great article from A List Apart that explains why cutting the clutter makes for “A Future Friendly Web”… and a web that works well now, too. The key to a great website isn’t a matter of implementing the latest trendy trick. It’s simply […]
More2015 EDIT: This applies only if you’ve moved your WordPress installation from one folder in your system to another. If you’re actually migrating to another host (like from your own installation at WordPress.org to a managed installation at WordPress.com ) use the export and import feature instead. I’ll write about troubleshooting that in a new post, but […]
MoreOddly enough, I’d never written one of these before. But after much stewing over the matter, this is what I included: 1) A title that says what I’d do, and a subtitle that summarizes in a few short words, how. 2) Brief introduction to the project, and its current status 3) Goals and objectives. I’d […]
MoreO hai. I’ve been paying more attention to FB and Twitter than I have to my poor little old blog here, but I figured I’d keep these comments together: Yesterday I told my friends they should ditch GoDaddy. This isn’t the first time I’ve joined in on a protest against GoDaddy, but this time because […]
MoreA potential client called wanting to know if I could do grunge, so I made this logo for my friend (an undertaker turned programmer) for a concept, since a grungy, decayed look would fit his online name well. This is what I’ve got: I think, in this case, the grunge look communicates well. I also […]
MoreSo I’m in an odd situation where contract work simply won’t do, and I’m trying to sort out my options. I can do well on about half the salary I’d earn working full-time, so you would think part-time work would make sense. The problem? Part time jobs typically pay less than half hour-for-hour what their […]
More“You’re just the judge, jury, and executioner of the world!” my friend teased after I pointed out yet another oddity in a passing billboard. “No, just of their designs.” Well, technically I’d said “logos” rather than “designs” but really it goes for design in general. And, while I wouldn’t exactly call myself an executioner, I […]
MoreThis little map is just a few miles worth of the city where I grew up, and the orange-line overlays represent major road construction we’ve run into just this week. I did the map yesterday, and, after another frustratingly difficult drive home (seriously, even if you take the bus you can’t navigate this city!) I […]
