I am a workaholic. And because I work for myself, I get to determine that workaholic schedule. Which means as long as there’s work to do, I do it. Hmmm…I know the deadlines I have. I know the available time. I could afford to take some time off. So, that’s what I did this afternoon. I spent the morning at church, playing the piano for the service–I played George Shearing arrangements of Ebb Tide and Three Coins in the Fountain (for the offertory, of course). Totally butchered the music for singing out the children. Then came home and noodled around, finally settling on updating this personal website that just moved to a new host.
I wanted to add a new header graphic but didn’t want to install the Adobe suite. So, I found Seashore, a free graphics editor for Mac. The description I saw was right on: it does everything I need to do (scale, crop, copy, paste and even some effects) but without all the overhead for stuff I’ll never use. It worked great. I played around with a collage but decided to go with just one picture and I like the way the skimmer pictures matches the color scheme of this theme.
My problem is getting my flickr badge to work. I think the plugin css is fighting with the theme css. The flash badge looks OK but the html badge ends up under the text, at least in Firefox on my Mac.
This has been fun. Next, I’m adding my librarything list.
