Airtable

Lately I’ve been consumed once again by updating my Airtable with all the Ravelry information I can mine. If you’re able to use Ravelry, but want all your information off the site in case it goes down, this is a good solution. I’m not sure how to obtain all this information about patterns without Ravelry.…

A Haiku

It is hard to blog When the internet won’t work. Comcast is awful.  

Tech Tuesday: Sometimes You Need More Wires to Go Wireless

For the record, I just made up “Tech Tuesday” ’cause it sounded cool. It’s not going to be a regular post or anything because frankly, I have no business commenting on techie stuff. I’m going to do it anyway though, just for today. SO. Backups. Backups are important. Keeping a regular backup schedule for your…

How My Sister Saved My Hands

Way back in December I had to take a break from blogging because my hands were hurting. I blamed the new laptop since that was the only new activity my hands had been engaged in. At the time I thought my hand posture was to blame, and I took some photos of my hand interacting with…

Progress!

I’ve been quiet lately, which means I’ve been busy. Unfortunately the things I’ve been busy doing aren’t very interesting so I’ll spare you the details. Lots of the doing has involved things I’ve already blogged about, and much progress has been made. The iPhone is now my bitch. It has been replaced, wi-fi is working,…

The Mayans Lied, So I Guess I’ve Got to Do Stuff

Happy New Year’s Eve! I am going to be spending my day clearing the decks to prepare for 2013, because nothing motivates me to clean more than a looming arbitrary deadline. I’m still not quite clear why I do this. I never seem to get everything done that I want to. I don’t think of…

Zen and the Art of Photo Editing

HEY! HEY!! Guess what I just did…. I edited a photo! On my new Mac! I didn’t realize how incomplete I felt without photo editing capabilities until I just figured out how to do it on my new computer just now. I feel so relieved. Since at least 50% of the time I spend on…

Scatterbrained

I’ve been having a lot of trouble keeping track of everything I need to do in order to keep my life from falling apart. I mean, I have no idea when I did laundry last, I think it’s been over a month since I’ve vacuumed my room (and my allergies are starting to show it),…

How Yarnologist Got Her Groove Back

Yesterday my mother finally got sick of seeing me moping around the house and randomly bursting into tears and took me to the Apple store to see if we could get me a new computer. I had an estimated cost in mind based on poking around the Apple site and guesstimating what I would need…

Four Things

Sorry about not posting anything yesterday. I was feeling really ill. I’m still a bit off today, but that’s probably because I haven’t slept in 26+ hours. Apparently my brain is really, really good at tricking my body into thinking it’s dying when I’m under stress. This is not the first time it’s done this, though it…
