It's been a busy couple of days. I ended up working all day Saturday (end of the year payroll taxes for Stoneline, always fun), then going to a party at David's house that night. Then worked most of the day Sunday on Nancy's website, which we're almost ready to move live. I didn't get to do the full redesign that I would have liked, but we were able to restructure the site in some important ways like getting rid of the frames and adding better navigation to the individual portfolio pages.
Sunday night Christa came over and watched the Survivor premiere. Which was two tons of fun. I wasn't looking forward to seeing Jerri on my screen again, but she seems to have developed a new strategy this time, not to be a vicious harpy. I remember reading when she was on the first time, that other cast members liked her a lot outside the show. Which I found unfathomable. But I guess maybe she had adopted a "bitch from hell" persona for the show, or she was edited to look that way. Or maybe both.
Monday I got caught up on HKB work, did some sewing (which I wrote about in the last post) and also had my show, which was great. I really like the Monday 2-4 time slot. I got a lot of calls. I like calls! Two requests, two people asking about tracks I had played ("Utopia" by Alison Goldfrapp and something from the new DJ Kicks Chicken Lips comp) and three people asking for tickets to the Cat's Cradle show that night. Which tickets had already been given away. I must say, I never understood why people get so honked off about those calls, but I almost never got them during my old show in the morning. The volume of callers who are clearly not listening to the station, but just hoping to score free tickets, seems to increase substantially in the afternoon.
Unfortunately, once again I forgot to set up that software so I didn't record the show. Ah well, maybe next week.
Yesterday, what did I do yesterday. Oh yeah! Finally got down to business on the sewing and I am proud to report that I have conquered the bound buttonhole! It is no match for me! The test I did on scrap fabric didn't look very even around the edges, but on the thicker wool they all turned out great. The fabric around the buttonholes is a bit lumpy but I didn't have time to press them last night. I'm hopeful that the lumps will press out OK. I took some photos of the buttonhole-making process and will post them probably later today.

Sarah, I have a recording of your show. The software got and kept the hi-res recordings, but did not do the conversion to mp4. The hi-res recordings are 300mb per 30 minutes; i need to transfer them off the cube and hopefully iTunes can convert them on my iBook (iTunes on the cube is corrupted and non-functional). I keep putting off doing the file transfer until i can plug both into my router rather than doing it over airport, which is quite slow.
You recorded my show? You rule!!
Do you need cables or something to get both computers on your router? Cause I'm sure I have extras around here. Or I could bring my laptop to Angel tonight.
i have cables... i've just been busy in the evenings, but this evening will probably be different. if you come over here, bring your laptop and we'll xfer the files over to you. if you can convert them w/itunes, your box will go faster than my ibook which is a lowly g3.
i do have certain people other than myself in my recording rotation, but i hesitate to publicize the list lest someone feel hurt by being left out of it :)
i'd better be on your list, lisa, or i'll kick your ass.
damn.
I'd love to listen to recordings of your show, though that would tax even your amazing bandwidth. I have not yet adjusted to the fact that you're on Monday afternoons....
Aha, but I can send you a CD! Not last week, it's gone for good, but this week which Lisa recorded for me, & in future, any week you miss. Assuming I get it together and set up that software. (I almost wrote "get off my ass" but since computer work is generally done sitting down, that expression doesn't make sense here.)
Come to think of it, there must be a PC equivalent of the software. It has a scheduling function so you don't have to remember a show you want to hear; the computer just has to be online. The Mac program is called RAW and costs $20. You can use it without paying, but it shuts itself off every 15 minutes.
sarah-- i think similar windoze solutions were mentioned on the xdu list-- you can dig thru the archives if you feel so inclined and probably find the info.
