What Woozle Is Doing Right Now

Entries are most recent first; to read in order, start at the end.

Overview

  • Images for existing VBZ items
  • Legal summary document

Today

  • 15:26, 10 Jul 2005 (EDT): Uploading rebuilt pages with new shirt images in them. Entering S vs. G emails into the wiki to make them easier to search and cross-reference. Pondering Harena's suggestion that image pages (and maybe others) need navigation links -- e.g. if you're in Category:Benjy and you click on an image, the image's page should have links to the previous and next images in the series on the page from which you came. Not a quick hack, but it seems like it could be a major improvement. The main trick (aside from the actual programming) is figuring out how not to be arbitrary about the look-and-feel of the nav links -- some kind of template or variable?
  • 08:41, 10 Jul 2005 (EDT): Finally getting around to processing some images of shirts I purchased and photographed what seems like ages ago. The HyperFile program would really help with keeping track of this stuff, if I could ever manage to spend enough time on it just to make it usable.

What Woozle Was Doing Earlier

2005-07-09

  • 13:02, 9 Jul 2005 (EDT): I seem to have spent much of the day making sure all the VBZ suppliers had wiki pages, just to be sure the new supplier wiki links from the main site didn't lead to blank pages. And my head hurts (stupid head cold still clinging tenaciously). Yesterday afternoon I added a few pages to the Issuepedia, starting with an article on Arbitrary Requirement.

2005-07-08

  • 12:15, 8 Jul 2005 (EDT): A few miscellaneous things related to vbz/wiki interlinkage, mostly.

2005-07-07

  • 15:52, 7 Jul 2005 (EDT): Back from Athens. Details when I get my head together.

2005-07-06

  • 20:53, 6 Jul 2005 (EDT): In Athens, using Joel's computer to make this entry just to show I was here :D
  • 06:46, 6 Jul 2005 (EDT): Packing for Athens trip.

2005-07-05

  • 14:37, 5 Jul 2005 (EDT): Posted a Legal Disclaimer in the Staddon vs. Griever area. I decided last night to stop restricting it to just the legal documents. My "bad kid, go to your room" reflex kicked in for a little while after I posted the disclaimer (since that was sort of crossing the "line of commitment"), but something else deeper and stronger says it's the right thing to do, and damn the torpedoes. We'll see what happens.
Otherwise, today we're getting ready for the trip to Athens tomorrow. I'm trying to put together a list of missing invoice paperwork, in case there are any in the stack of papers we have to review ("9-12 inches of documents from the years 2000-2004", said the defense attorney's paralegal), so we know which ones not to bother copying. I've already put together a list of emails from those same years.
Also shipped a few in-stock orders this morning. Yay.

2005-07-04

  • 09:46, 4 Jul 2005 (EDT): Working on legal stuff (which is appropriate, today being the one year anniversary of "pseudoquasime"'s visit to SluggySquad). I think I have an idea for how to make this move a bit faster, too... heh.

2005-07-03

  • 16:31, 3 Jul 2005 (EDT): While searching for an image which I needed in order to get a particular thing done and off my desk, I found the hang-tag images which I thought might have been lost in migrating from Windows to Linux. So I've been reorganizing images (because there was a lot of other stuff in that same area which really belonged elsewhere), and getting B&Z ready for swimming with Grandma Dorothy, and now it's just about time to go get Sunday dinner (assuming Costco isn't closed early for July 4).
  • 09:58, 3 Jul 2005 (EDT): Trying to decide if I should renew glxp.com. Wrote proposed Domain Resale Code of Ethics.
  • 09:14, 3 Jul 2005 (EDT): One of the thumbnails still won't show up, but I've decided it's good enough (maybe a cache somewhere just needs to expire) and have pointed wiki.vbz.net at the new server.
Meanwhile, this morning I was thinking of names for a hypothetical multi-wiki site. The first thing that came to mind was "wikimonster", which is pretty good and suggests a great logo -- a cookie-monster-ish creature eating one of the brackets by which it is surrounded -- but is a bit long to use for multiple subdomains. Then I thought maybe "wikimon", as a short form alias for wikimonster... and then I thought "wikim", even shorter, but then that suggested "wikem" (like "sic'em"), which is even shorter and doesn't require a longer form (but how do you make a logo for that? A dog chasing a wiki flower? Chasing brackets? More complicated and not as cute.)
But okay, wikimonster.com is taken (not .net or .org). wikimon.com is available; wikim.com is taken (not .net or .org), and wikem.com is also taken (not .net or .org). So do I get one of those in .net/.org form, or maybe base it off hypertwins.org (htwiki.org and htwik.org are both available) or glxp.com, even?
  • 08:18, 3 Jul 2005 (EDT): Still in the "getting up" process, but Pip hopped up on the sink so I thought it best to go make an entry so he would go away. Today: finishing move of vbzwiki.

2005-07-02

  • 21:28, 2 Jul 2005 (EDT): Rotten headache most of the day, so didn't get much done -- but it mysteriously cleared up around suppertime (not that I'd eaten anything, and I still have a bit of a sore throat) and since then I've started moving the vbzwiki over to the newer-cheaper-faster server. Should be able to get it fully moved tomorrow morning. Going to bed now.
  • 10:18, 2 Jul 2005 (EDT): Feeling rather crappy due to mild throat cold. Mowed lawn anyway, because it was overdue. Processing in-stock orders.

2005-07-01

  • 17:51, 1 Jul 2005 (EDT): And then we decided (at Mel's invitation) to finally watch The Return of the King (extended DVD). This may seem frivolous, given all the other stuff we needed to do today, but you have to understand the following:
    • We've had the DVD since before Christmas
    • Neither of us got to see it in the theatre -- there were no show times where it ended before kid-pick-up time
    • This is the one movie we've really wanted to see for the past year or so
...so basically, if we didn't take this opportunity, who knows when we'd actually get around to seeing it. (As it was, we had to watch the last 20 minutes after picking up B & Z.)
And don't even ask about the hassles of trying to pin down a date when we can have the kids watched (ferried to & from camp, fed) so we can both go down to Athens next week to view the court documents. Also don't ask me why I don't just go by myself, because if you ask I'll tell you. And then you'll be sorry.
  • 08:42, 1 Jul 2005 (EDT): Got all the images working. Oop, gotta go do Friday Morning Errands. *zoop*
