Busy with a B

It is ITEMISED LIST TIME, folks.

1. ficpdfs may be named drily, but it is tarted up all in green, and possesses a short blurb in its info. Soon to come: the brief first post and the first FAQ. Oh, and eventually my first attempt at conversion, which will be posted here, then (probably) tweaked based on any suggestions I get, then posted at ficpdfs. That won’t be the process for all the fics I convert, only for the first one.

2. The Kindle I ordered shipped yesterday!! I will probably be giggling over that until it gets here g.

3. Discs 2 and 3 of season 4 of The Wire have come in. I am SO LOVING IT still.

4. I have had Travails with Textmate while testing its html —> markdown. There might eventually be a post on the whole process of converting fics to pdfs with or without a powerful, sexy but troubled text editor on your side. Or at least on preparing fics for sane, easy conversion with whatever resources you have.

5. I think I want to learn applescript. Knowing a bit about bash and python scripting saved me hours of confusion when I was trying to get things set up, and I think learning how to applescript programs into doing my bidding would be a Good Thing.

6. I got an invite to Pownce yesterday. Then I signed up— jesus their signup process is intrusive! Real name, birthday and zip code? You know I faked some of that. I can’t believe they think anyone would trust them with important info just for access to some weird mashup of Twitter and Yousendit. I haven’t used it for anything yet, and if anyone wants invites, I’ve got six, so…*shrugs*

7. Have changed layout! I love this incarnation of Bloggish to death :D
