it is probably wrong
It is probably wrong that after spotting this on slashdot I actually considered building a couple of these for my poor miserable plants.
However, I don't think twitter is the answer. I think getting off my behind and refilling the watering can might be the solution for my droopy plants.

ATTENTION ALL SOPEDESTRIAN.COM READERS!
Recently I have been doing some work on my website, and unfortunately in doing so I broke the weblog feed of another site I host. This mostly happened because when it comes to geekery, I am actually pretty dumb. So if you have been subscribed to the advertised feed on the So Pedestrian website, you have ended up here. Oops! I thought that fixing this was going to be easy-peasy, but I was wrong (see aforementioned "pretty dumb"). The solution I have come up with requires an eensy little bit of work on your part. I need to to resubscribe to their feed. Click on the link below and you're on your way!

My life on the internets lately has been a little lax. First up, I enlisted myself in a flickr pool called 365 Days. The point is to take a picture of yourself once a day for a year. I'm focusing on trying to document what I'm doing every day as sort of a diary, so my photos so far are knitting intensive (and will probably remain so for the forseeable future). Also? I am really bad at committing to doing something EVERY DAY and I tend to misplace things like camera cords. So there's that. Anyway, here are my efforts so far.
I've also been loving last.fm radio recently. After travelling with the 'rents I thought I was over jazz for awhile, but I've loved some of the last.fm recommends while cataloguing at work. As long as I'm talking music, I might as well also share this ipod meme I picked up from Sarah over at pinktalk (after the jump):

poltergeist in my website
'Tis the season for spooky to occur, I suppose. Frankly, I have no idea why my front page won't display properly. As far as I can tell, everything is correct. Oh well, it goes right along with the rest of this winner week, the theme of which seems to be "if it can go wrong, it will, all at once". Hurrah. Today's installment? Early morning power-outage leading to no alarm clocks and gettting dressed by flashlight. Cripes.
Update, a few minutes later
Erm, okay, so apparently after dinking about with my templates last night in dreamweaver, MovableType got cranky with my dirty dirty css code. It rilly rilly wanted me to refer to div CLASS instead of div ID. Working now. Sorry for the freakout.Posted by amy at 9:13 AM | Permalink | Comments (0)

I've obviously been much to busy to keep the internetosphere updated on the life of me, so here goes. Obviously, the most important is the knitting. I am currently engaged in a number of Top Secret projects that I am bursting all over the place to talk about. But alas, that discussion is not going to happen on this weblog until after the holidays. Don't fret! I am photodocumenting my progress.
In knitting news that I can talk about, last night I attended the Boise Bitch and Stitch downtown at Thomas Hammer. The group is full of fun and welcoming people, and of many skill levels. Enough of them can be totally awed by my knitting prowess to make me feel, well, full of prow (whatever that means). However, I bet if I get stuck in a knitting crisis I can't find my way out of someone there might be able to point my needles in the right direction. While I think they are mostly quite a bit younger than me, that's never been a deterrent before. I'm planning on going back next week.
In the world of geekery, earlier in the week, I upgraded my MT to the new fancypants 3.33. Not everything is working quite exactly right just yet, but give me time. I will triumph. (Though getting Media Manager installed again is giving me FITS. My consumption pages are totally broken for the time being. Harumpf.) I primarily embarked on this endeavor because the librarian in me loves TAGGING, and the tags don't work. Dork much?
And lastly, but definitely not leastly, I am very much looking forward to a real vacation! At the end of the month I'm headed to The Grand Canyon for a week. Lots of time for knee-busting hiking balanced by knit-knit-knitting my way down highway 89 (we're going the longer but prettier way), and a couplea Dam Tours with my Pops. Who doesn't love a good Dam Tour? Other than my Mom? While I do realize that most 30-somethings don't vacation with their parents, I have a couple things to say. Firstly, I really like my parents. Second, a vacation that is free (or close to it), frees up my cash for MORE vacations. And third and lastly, even though I took that little mini-break a couple weeks ago, I'm still wound pretty tight. A big break AWAY is going to be nice. Plus one of the Wonders of the World? Good for putting things in perspective.

new photo map geekery
This post may be mostly for my friend David, hater of flickr and new convert to web albums by picasa. This is not to say he isn't on to something, but I did recently pay up for another year's pro account. And I discovered this new gem. I spent a lot of this holiday weekend wallowing at home feeling very unwell. Instead of laying on the sofa with nothing to show for it, I think I productively used that time by geotagging over 75% of my photos. Does this make me as big of a nerd as I think it might? Probably.
