Laughing At George
She was very excited to get to sit with George a bit this afternoon. I think his whiskers had been tickling her just prior to this picture.

So I was incredibly not productive this weekend, on which I blame the weather. Yeah, the weather. I did manage to get some things done that I’ve been meaning to do for a while (clean out the refrigerator being one such thing), but I totally lacked ambition to start cleaning in the basement again.

I need to start focusing on that so I can get that project out of the way and start on something else.

I managed to get several pictures of Kirstin today, my most favorite of which were the pictures taken while sitting and petting George. He was (as usual) doing very well next to her and allowing her to pet him with the occasional handful of fur pulling attempt. Considering he’s the clawed one, there’s really not much to worry about with George and Kirstin because he seems to hide if he doesn’t want any interaction. 🙂 Unlike Felix (who takes any attention including ‘abuse’ from children), George knows when to say no and leave the room.

I also made some more website changes and whatnot. Mostly here on the blog layout, and most of that was related to organizing the stylesheet and redesigning/re-implementing how my Flickr photoblogs are styled (particularly, the picture info). Most posts here with pictures in them have actually been written with the Flickr interface (not the Blogger one), which allows the picture to just automatically show up. There’s some configuration to make that happen, but once it’s set up is pretty convenient.

Previously, each post had its own style information for the picture box (and description text). I changed that to use the stylesheet (so I can change how all pictures look in one shot without editing all the posts). I believe it’s working now, but I also intend to make a few changes to how it works yet (we’ll see how I like it after seeing a portrait-oriented picture in the blog).

In news of complete randomness, I finally managed to re-burn the ‘How To Talk Minnesotan’ VHS capture onto DVD, this time with better chapter and menu functionality. Knock another project off the list. And while I was waiting for the transcoding of aforementioned title to take place, I went through all of the SuperGold CD’s I’ve got on hand here and organized them by date. This way I can go through them and figure out what I want to rip to MP3 in a more organized fashion as time allows. But that’s something for another day (or year).

And that’s pretty much how my Sunday has gone. More or less normally. So until next time…
