Trying out the new WordPress iPhone app. Pretty cool, especially since Safari and WordPress don’t get along. This is exactly what I need – a way to write even more words from virtually anywhere. Good thing I just LOVE the sound of my thumbs working ..

not a friend of trees
July 23, 2008 — kimliLast week I placed an order online that consisted of many things, none of which were for me. Ed’s been enjoying the graphic novel renditions of the Drizzt books by R.A. Salvatore, so we looked online and saw that books 4-6 have been released with book 7 due out in August. We also ordered two DVD sets for his mom as a “congrats for finally coming to BC” gift.
The order showed up at home today. At least, part of it – book 5, and nothing else. Confused, I re-read the emails that Indigo sent me. Turns out they sent things in multiple shipments. Let’s see ..
- Book 5
- Books 4-6
- Book 7
- DVD Sets
Four shipments? Is that really necessary? The shipping was free, but what a stupid waste of packing materials and postage. Good game, Indigo. You are not a friend of trees.
Last time, they had the decency to pack my Chinese propaganda book, wordless graphic novel, and gay porn all in one box. Hell, the gay porn was even helpfully wrapped in brown paper. Not this time, though – let’s make waste!
Boo.

July 23, 2008 — kimliThe Purple Monkey Dishwatergate Scandal was demoralizing, but I’m completely over that now – my new desk RULES.
I’ve taken over two cubicles in the row of three, and I’ve spread out and nested quite satisfactorily. Already this morning many people have come by to comment on the coziness of my Science Hole. The overhead fluorescent lights in this corner are out (IT people tend to shun the light), and my window has a blind that shields me from that nasty “natural light” phenomenon – I can work in total darkness, bathed only in the unhealthy glow of my two LCD monitors; or I can choose to work by Ikea desk lamp as I am doing right now. It is awesome. If I had something to eat, things would be darn near perfect.
The Mail Fairy just brought me a present – my Moo Business Cards! I let them breathe for a few minutes before I tore the package open, and it was worth the tantalization – they’re *gorgeous*! I hesitated when ordering them because you’re faced with two paper choices – the original (used for Moo cards), or the “green” method (100% recycled, different texture). The hippie in me won out and I chose the green cards, and I’m glad I did. They look awesome! The cards also come in a nifty little box with index cards to separate other people’s cards from your own. So cute! I was a little worried how my logo would turn out – I had a bitch of a time figuring out what size the image had to be for decent uploading – but it came out just perfect. I love Moo. Every single thing I’ve bought from them has just blown me away in regards to ingenuity and quality. Yay for Moo!
Boo, however, for terrible Content Management Systems that are maintained by monkeys and crash in the middle of an article. No, I didn’t need that document I spent the last hour working on. Go ahead, crash Firefox. See if I care.
Jerks.
