Received and watched the first cut of the film about me

The one the Creative Spaces project filmed at the Tate and my “studio” (ahem) back in December. I actually sound like a Proper Artist. Feeling pretty good about myself now :-)

Took my SLR for a walk in Pitshanger Park

and used up the rest of the current roll of film. On the to-do list for tomorrow: get all the backlog of used film actually processed!

Switched over minim-media.com to use our UK server

Which means this site has finally gone live in its new incarnation and last six months’ worth of posts. And which most crucially means that I can (in about a week) cancel my hosting setup in Australia thereby saving myself $AU21.95 that I don’t actually have. YES! YES! YES! Dancing round the house to the Blues Brothers soundtrack in celebration. WOOOOO!

Turned the heel of the second sock

Which makes sock 2 about 50% done. Tomorrow I will attempt to face the picking-up-stitches part.

Progressed a bit further with Okami

I now know how to fish :-) And, thanks to my osteopath lending me his copy, I’ve had a bit of a play with Super Paper Mario too!

Fixed up the four things that were outstanding on this blog

  1. Category cloud needing to be limited to 10 categories (sorted thanks to this widget)
  2. Older posts/New posts nav at the bottom of each list page
  3. Set title to not be “Untitled Document”
  4. Made the date show up on multiple posts on the one day

Of course there are other things I want to go through and finesse, but this should be enough to show it to the world now at least. Yay! Only taken about 5 months!

Spent an unconscionable amount of time playing Okami

About 5 hours I think. BUT at the same time I was doing a ton of laundry and intermittently putting things away and tidying stuff, so I think it was time well spent. Good for the brain to relax a bit, eh?

Bought a computer game

Very frivolous, I know, but in my defence… 25% off! Apparently while we weren’t paying attention, Virgin-that-was (now with the ultra-stupid name of Zavvi, which probably has contributed in no small part to their downfall) has gone into receivership and are now clearing out all their stock which – kind souls – included Okami for Wii, which was on my Christmas list. YAY!

Started the second sock

I guess this was kind of inevitable after yesterday’s post, but is notable in that I didn’t shilly-shally around – for fear of Second Sock Syndrome, I thought it best to just leap straight into it. The challenge is to see how quickly I can finish Sock No. 2 off now that I actually (sort of) know what I’m doing…

Finished my first sock!!!!

Yes indeed. At last I finished my first-ever sock. I’m really rather proud of it :-)

First sock complete!
