You know, I haven’t been posting much here. My main blogging is still at Climb to the Stars, but the light stuff has migrated to both my Twitter account and Digital Crumble, my tumblelog on Tumblr.
A tumblelog is a blog, but it’s very basic. I use it to copy interesting stuff I find online and on other Tumblr tumblelogs, and publish the kind of stuff I used to publish here on the Cheese Sandwich Weblog.
So, see you on Digital Crumble from now on!
So, here we are. I’ve known for some time (as I was proofreading a book in French on WordPress) that drastic changes were lying ahead for the WordPress admin screens. Today on WordPress.com, we’re discovering them — and I’m typing my first post in the new interface.
I’ll wait a few days to decide if I like it or not. Change is always disruptive, so the first reaction of resistance or reject should not be taken seriously. Already, I see things I like, from a functional point of view.
You can put things in bold. You can also have the in italics.
The spacing between paragraphs is big. That is because we’re reading on a screen.
One important layout tool to use is lists:
And, of course, links.

Actually, it’s not Lausanne, it’s Lutry. Here we are, me and seven other ladies, typing away on laptops to write a first post (well, not quite the first for me).
I’m really happy to be giving this workshop, and hope I’ll be giving more (in English and French) in the coming months!
Against expectations, my server is back up! A little DNS mess-up may give you a “Database connection error” when going to CTTS for a few more hours, but it’s already available from certain parts of the web.
The server hosting climbtothestars.org, stephanie-booth.com, and going-solo.net is down. I’m trying to redirect those domains to http://2008.spirolattic.net for the moment, but it’s not there yet. Seems I still have a Dreamhost account!
I’m in Lisbon for the SHiFT conference. All is fine, aside from the fact that my server is down. I’ll be speaking on Friday afternoon. If my server doesn’t come back up, I’ll post here.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
I finally responded to a year-old e-mail. I still haven’t completely registered for my pension plan as an independant worker (procedure started in November 2006!)
Hopefully I’m only in deep trouble, and not in very deep trouble.
J’écris ici car je ne peux pas parler parce que je n’ai pas trois mains!
I have a bunch of external hard drives now, and I’m trying to figure out how to organise all my data on them. Here’s what I have:
I have an iTunes library that is approx 20Gb, my Pictures directory is around 40Gb though I have moved quite a few photos off to an external drive already, Movies is 15Gb though I thought it was empty (also moved stuff off). I have TV Series (shhh) too. I have many Gb of source video I’ve taken (India is 56Gb, and then I’ve shot a few conferences).
I recently had to move my iTunes library off the computer. This is kind of silly, though, because if there’s one thing one wants on the computer, it’s music (so that when I sync my iPod it doesn’t decide to blank it).
So, here’s what I’m thinking. Keep the 120Gb drive for a “computer” backup that I can carry around with me. Keep a “computer” backup image on the 1Tb drive too.
Use the 320Gb to store photos and video, with a backup on the 1Tb.
Use the static 250Gb to store source video material I’m not working on or am done with (archive) — with a backup on the 1Tb.
Use the 250Gb (mobile) for stuff I want to watch or video I’m working on.
Thoughts?
