We actually got out of the house and went cross-country skiing, just as we planned. Amazing! There’s this place that’s not in the house called the “outdoors,” and we were in it for a while. Conditions weren’t totally ideal (it could have been about 5 or 10 degrees colder, the snow was a bit sticky in the tracks) but it wasn’t bad. We went to the forest preserve/ bike path loop nearest us, and there was just enough snow base to ski on, but not quite enough to make you forget that you were skiing on an asphalt path. I…

We’re dragging out the cross-country ski stuff to get out and play in the snow today. No promises as to how long it’ll be, we’re getting a typically late start. I’m almost done with another England trip journal entry, just have a few more photos to add in at the end. Should be posted tonight. Ta-ra! We’re off to fall down a lot and get frustrated with having boards stuck on our feet!

I was scanning various websites the other day and ran across something that just struck me funny from a copyright lawyer that had done some work for Penthouse magazine and its’ sister publications: As an attorney for the Penthouse magazine empire in the mid 1990s, I launched a war against cyberspace dwellers who, without authorization, used photographic images of the Penthouse Pets and models on their web pages. There were literally thousands of web sites posting Penthouse-copyrighted images scanned from Penthouse magazine and its numerous sister publications. Finding Penthouse-owned pictures required some hands-on investigative work. Uh – okay, Counselor, thanks…

See, this quiz just laid out for me why I don’t watch horror movies, but at least I pass the test! Yay, me. 😉 (also found at ***Dave’s) Would you survive a horror movie? Find out @ She’s Crafty

Hmm. Various free/cheap Web graphics programs. I think I might qualify for some of these under the “Photoshop makes me break out in hives” rubric. Last night? Why, yes, there was hairpulling and swearing involved with my last tussle with Photoshop. 😉

Yep, as Officer Brogan used to say, “I love my job.” Yet another blinky has been unstuck, the universe is safe for one more day.

A look at my logs recently led me down a few investigative Web rambles last night and today – the kind where you start of at Google, click a few links, go back, click a few more links farther down and so on. Interesing and informative links found thus far – attention, my hubby, might have a little more tinkering around for you to do: Random and Irrelevant IMHO, the above site was actually specific and relevant. 😉 Helpfully provided by Random and Irrelevant: robots.txt not honored? And I think I need to cross-reference robots.txt abusers/ignorers against a few such…

Friday Feast #56: CSS, MT, Style Guides, TopStyle – Brainstorms and Raves- “Criminey, she’s at it again.” Yep, still toying with the idea of a 3 column layout. And cartooneys. More stuff to play with in my sandbox. Reminder: need figure out how to play in sandbox.

Well, we’ll try this again – I wanted to have the index page display the flags and countries of visitors, but apparently all the plug-in can do is display flag and town/city, meaning a whole bunch of American flags, some Canadian, a fewBritish, and other countries’ flags in descending order. Yes, yes, I know that a good chunk of the “visitors” are either robots or spammers, but whats the hey, ya? I’d still really rather have just the one flag per country represented. Oh, well. I’m working on the next couple of entries for the travel journal (JEEZ, this is…
