In other news, I’m thinking about podcasting one of my novels. Just for fun. Although today I’ve been in and out of the tech-world, trying to fix my blog editor problem—turns out it’s a bug in the PHP my host uses, whatever the fuck that means, so I can’t fix it anyway, they [...]

Well, that didn’t go so well.
This sucks! If I’m understanding correctly, there is some bug that removes the < and leaves all the html in the post.
ARG!!!!!
I’m going outside now.

The sad fact is that fixing ecto is probably not going to happen. I think wordpress 2.9 broke it. But too, late, I’ve gone and upgraded. If I’d known ecto would break, I would have bided my time in wordpress 2.8.x until they fixed it. I hope they plan to fix [...]

goat lice: shoot me now

Posted on February 25, 2010 - Filed Under goats, honeymilk farm | Leave a Comment

It all started when I noticed Lucy, one of my goats, had wet shoulders. What the heck? Was she dipping into the water bucket? Was one of the other goats peeing on her? I mean, goats can be weird like that. But no. She was wet because she was [...]

birthdays of the future

Yesterday I turned 39. Today, Sophie turns 6. Six years ago, she was, by far, the best birthday present I have ever gotten. Or probably ever will.
But wow, hey, forty is looming, right? 364 days away. A friend asked me how I was doing facing it, and oddly, I realized I really feel okay about [...]

Sky likes flying, eating blueberries and cotton candy, and brushing her long white hair (it’s made of clouds, or so I hear). Welcome to the family, Sky.

Design & name by Luc. Backdrop & photography by Sophie. Grunt work (embroidery, wrapping, etc) by Maya. Oh, and also transport. I have become the official Fairy and Fairy [...]

I have written before of our love of the game Plants Vs. Zombies. Well, I recently wiped the drive on our game machine and upgraded to Windows 7, which meant reinstalling, and rediscovering, a bunch of games we hadn’t played in a while. Plants Vs Zombies in particular has gotten a lot of replay this [...]
