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.
So, this plugin has been fairly handy, but I ran into some trouble getting it going and couldn’t find much help on the web. So I figure I’ll write down what I had to do here, in case someone else runs into trouble. I can’t even remember all of the things I had to tweak […]
MoreSo you might know I love to help out with the local Open Source community. Who doesn’t love giving some time to a cause that could change the world? And yet it’s hard to find time in our schedules. Project Day helps with that, and one of the projects at our last project day involved […]
MoreOne we problem I ran into when exporting is that most of my resized images did not pull through. So my post would call for someImage-400×266.jpg though the import only grabbed someImage.jpg and not its variants. The fix was pretty easy, though. I just used Replace. Do a datadump of your wp_posts table beforehand, just […]
MoreSo, I’ve divided up my geekiness from my momminess — though, if you know me at all, you’re aware that I am truly a very geeky mom and an equally mommy-esque geek: the differentiation exists on the interwebs alone. Technically, I’ve got quite a bit of cleanup to do both here and there, as well […]
MoreSo I’m realizing there are many, many design projects I’ve done but not posted for one reason or another. In this case, it’s because we had to make a few tweaks to the box design, but this was a fun project nonetheless. I actually don’t have my originals here since those were Blendtec’s, but I […]
MoreSo… I’ve neglected the photography section of my blog for a long time. The truth is, I started out with a pretty decent Nikon CoolPix 5700… or it was cool, at least, when I bought it. When that broke, I downgraded to a tiny little Canon Elph. And when that broke, I started using just […]
MoreWe just downloaded Judo last week so I could figure out how to program. Today I decided to make a spot making program. Mary asked for 999,999 spots and it took a long time, so I wondered how many spots my program could make per second. So at first we just tried counting and calculating, […]
More“The island itself is only two million, but of course we’d want a house and stuff like that… so do you think if we work together we can earn 8 million dollars? That way we’ll each still have three million to spend.” Sigh. Such is the typical back-seat conversation these days as we go to […]
MoreJust a quick note in case I have to do this again, I (finally) decided to get SSL working with my local environment, which in this case is MAMP. I’d avoided it for a while supposing it would be too much a pain. But I found a tutorial by webopius (“Getting MAMP working with SSL […]
MoreOkay, most of you who know me personally know I’m ridiculously happy at my new job. I’m currently redesigning blendtec.com, and little else could fuzzify my geeky little heart like this does. But many of you, particularly my girl friends, have never heard of “Will It Blend” or Blendtec. And when I say “Oh! It’s […]
More… and by that I mean it sucks me right into it! Remember Great Homepages Really Suck by Cameron Moll? I read it back when it was new in 2003, and it was lovely to read it again today as part of my homework for DGM 2740.
