The blah days
Ever had one of those days where you have tons of things that really would like to do or work on..so many things, in fact, that you just get completely overwhelmed by it all and don’t really want to do anything? Today is one of those days. Just a small sample of the many things I’d like to do:
- Play WoW - this one’s a no brainer, but I kind of want some of our friends to catch up with Vharie and Omasu, so I haven’t played much the past few days.
- Work on my new design (yes, another one). This one utilizes probably more javascript than is advisable, but I think the effect is kind of neat. Still have tons of little details to work out though, including del.icio.us integration and some other stuff.
- Figure out a good way to list our movie collection online, divided between VHS and DVD. Wish list might be good too, to point family members towards.

hehehe .. the “sandbox” idea (and name) seems to be catching.
The new layout is pretty cool.
As for #3, there is always something like delicious-monster.

Yeah, there do seem to be lots of “sandboxes” cropping up, but the idea makes so much sense that I couldn’t help but put one up. Thanks to the recent switch in hosting plans, I have more than enough space, and I don’t screw up my actual site when I’m messing around with new plugins/templates/whatever.
I’ve looked at that Delicious Library program before, but, unless I’m mistaken, there’s only a Mac version (and I’m a PC person, currently). What I’m currently playing around with is this Amazon Media Manager plugin. It’s a little complicated to set up a template, and I’m still trying to figure out a good way to present the data since our video collection is kinda large. I’ll figure it out, I’m sure; this one is just taking a while. Thanks for the comment.

Hello-
I just GOOGLED my name (Vharie Carter) and your page came up as a search result. I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE IN AMERICA WITH THE NAME “VHARIE!!!” Could you possibly tell me about your friend Vharie, and how he/she got their name, as in, is there a story behind it, because the name is so unusual? Im curious to know if it’s the same way I got mine (mine is the Gaeilic form of “Mharie”… my mother changed it slightly).
Thank you-
Vharie

*chuckle* Wow, I’m surprised - I thought I was all creative to have come up with the name.
Vharie is actually the name of a character I play in an online game. I like the name Marie a lot and wanted something a little more unique for the game, so I just came up with Vharie. Very cool to find there’s someone with the name in real life.

So, Jena, as always, you very much impress me with your design skills. Your new site layout is faboo. Just wanted to share my appreciation, being someone who does html design and app development for a living. There are so many shitty hack-job artists out there — it’s nice to actually personally know someone who has the real mad skillz.
