    Happy Dance!

    After many hours of searching and trying software, I have a unicode text reader/editor called AnyView on my cell phone that is capable of opening the artifact list for epona.net! WHEE!! This might not sound like much of an accomplishment, but for a linux-based mobile phone with only 8 MB of RAM to open a…

  • Patented check boxes?

    Apparently, IBM has patented a basic of a UI (from Slashdot): theodp writes “What do you call it when you drag a pointer over a checkbox to select or deselect it depending on its original state? Answer: US Patent 7,278,116. On Tuesday, the USPTO awarded IBM a patent for Mode Switching for Ad Hoc Checkbox…

  • Strange Dreams

    I had a really creepy dream last night. Last night I had stomach and menstrual cramps. (BLEH) So you’d expect strange dreams. I had to do a training session for site access for a client last night. Completed that before going to bed. (30 slides, took about half an hour). The dream was about going…

  • Thoughts on Riding

    Isis and I had a mixed ride today. I think it was more my fault than hers. I’ve been thinking about this a lot. She might have been reluctant because I wasn’t clear in what I was asking (probably because I’m still learning and figuring it out). She didn’t want to whoa when asked —…

  • Hafla at Yoga Haven

    Jaia hosted a hafla (think open floor dance and music party) tonight. Talk about a blast! Mary Lou and I went and brought some food. Great food there too — people brought finger food that was really tasty. No potato salad or anything. Most of it was home-made goodness. Tasty. There was live music (and…

  • Riding Lesson!

    I know I should be taking it easy with my knee and evrything, but some times you can’t keep a girl down. I had a riding lesson today on Isis. I was out at the barn by about 10:00 AM and met the other two ladies who were also riding. (Two sisters who own two…

  • Test Scores

    Just cause you gotta do them some times… My blog in LOLCat form! http://lol.ianloic.com/feed/ceffyl.net/wordpress/feed/ Your home is a Magnate’s Stronghold Your kitchen is someplace you never go, because you “have people for that.” There’s a Chocolatessen, which is rapidly becoming your favorite room of the house. Having one is also becoming a trend among your…

  • Paying for it…

    I was way too busy this weekend. Saturday started early with dance practise at 9:00 (arg, not a morning person!). That lasted about 1.5 hours. I went to the barn and worked with Isis for another hour and half. From there, I went home, fed my neighbor’s kitties, and then helped with a community dinner…

  • Shadow’s Vet Visit

    Poor Shadow. Shelley dropped Shadow off on Tuesday so I could take her to the vet’s for her surgery. Shadow wasn’t very happy to be dragged around in a carrier and taken to the vet’s. Considering everything, she was quite well behaved though. She spent part of the morning in the carrier on my kitchen…

  • Stray Cat Strut

    Remember the momma kitty and kittens behind my house in July? Well, the momma kitty has been adopted by my neighbor, Shelley. I had no idea until my other neighbor, Nancy, went door-to-door to find out who the black and white momma kitty belonged to. I had made an appointment with the free spay service…
