Day 4 of my week off

Sarah had a long day at camp yesterday, so she slept in today and I with her.

Around 10:30 she got a bug to go outside and weed. We went and did the front garden in the lawn, right below the kitchen window, and then we went over to the west side yard and started to work there. She was feeling really ambitious in the things she wanted me to do, and she asked if we could finally dig out the trees that were in the flower bed.

We had …

Day 3 – Transferring static blog into WordPress

Yesterday I finished up all of the daily life posts! I was happily surprised and felt a lot better. I feel like that is one of the largest chunks of work to do on the site.

Or at least I thought. When I have started to go through some of the other sections, I realize that the larger chunk of time may come in when working with images inside of the pages.

Plus the intricacies of each page and the design of it being a little different inside a solution that is …

Nokes is twitchy

When Sarah came home last night, we noticed when you run your hand over the back of his right shoulder, his muscle clenches up and then releases. Pretty cute, it happens every time you do it, and it didn’t happen just one day. He still has it this morning.

August 1st, 2007

I figured a time would come when I wouldn’t write about our little puppy everyday. I don’t want to take him for granted, but there are also days now where I don’t have anything new to say about him.

But this is a week where some new things have happened.

Nokes has been more calm, at least in my opinion, than I can remember in the past. After we got back from vacation, both Sarah and I felt like he looked older. Christine said that she swore he got bigger in the …

Day 2 – Transferring static blog into WordPress

Wow. When you get into it, sometimes it is hard to stop.

I went through some 12 pages yesterday in a couple of hours of old journal posts. Probably an average of 15-20 posts per page, remaking, filing, redoing the images etc. I now have a good amount of posts in the database and I am working more today.

But it is time consuming. I haven’t committed yet, but I am concerned if I do I still won’t be able to get it done before Monday and I …

Updating WordPress

Well, looking back, I am not surprised.

It was March when I last did something with this blog, I wasn’t even sure if I would follow through with it.

But today, I updated from 2.1 to version 2.2.1. This gets me setup to keep upgrading the website if I want to.

I got an unexpected week off from work, and I am trying to decide the best way to use the week. First priority is always trying to use that time to improve myself professional, or to make money to always better ensure …

Vectorizing Rare Mr. Do! Bezel Pieces

Continued working on the rare “white” Mr. Do! bezel today. I got the main large yellow portions of the Mr. Do Bezel drawn with the blue diagonal lines included. I was also able to finish the base of the ice cream dish, and I also realized that there is a slight difference in the artwork for the apples, so I made another file for that. Pretty exciting to be further along.

I can piece most of the Mr. Do! bezel together today, and will probably finish up tomorrow by drawing …
