Today started off nicely. I got two emails about my mplayer how-to, both thanking me for it. One of them was an offer from someone to host a french translation on their website! It was quite flattering. They emailed me back this afternoon with a link to their page: http:\/\/ernest.cheska.net\/mplayer\/mplayer.shtml<\/a>. Unfortunately for some reason I can’t get to this page from home. I can get to it fine via my shell accounts (looking at it through links) but it always times out from here, how odd. A friend<\/a> of mine was good enough to take screenshots of the page and send them to me so I could see how it looks. I’m impressed, it puts the poor design of my how-to to shame! Hehe.<\/p>\n


\nI did the email thing, read some stuff, did some more Zope stuff, then went to go empty out the dishwasher and clean up a bit. This is where my day started going badly. I started to get a bloody nose when I was emptying the dishwasher. This in itself isn’t especially notable, I get a few each year, but the timing of this one was weird, I always get them in the springtime or when I have some sort of cold. It’s neither, I felt perfectly fine! It was a pretty bad bloody nose though, made me feel all sick to my stomach. So I didn’t feel so great. I cleaned up the bathroom and then took a bath. When I got back to my computer ssh was all laggy to the server, and then I watched my connection fail completely. It did this about 4 times today long enough for R2D2 to fall off of IRC. It started getting very annoying.<\/p>\n

Other stuff happened to annoy me today, but I won’t get into it.<\/p>\n

It’s cooler out today, in the 60s, and dark, very cloudy and foggy.<\/p>\n

I did manage to get my first Zope page made today. It’s very very basic, but even this much will help me start understanding how it all works, screenshot<\/a>. This uses hardly any html (only a couple br tags and the beginning and ending html and body tags). It was kind of neat using the DTML to make these, but annoying at the same time, I know HTML! So I kept wanting to use that %) The progress I’m making is still slow, but steady.<\/p>\n

\"boots\"Oh, I ordered new boots last night. I HATE shopping for shoes more than most shopping (that’s saying a lot). I think it’s because I have big feet (size 10 1\/2-11 womens), so they don’t always have good ones that fit me. But after the trip to DC where walking all day made my feet hurt a lot I realized that I needed shoes that weren’t sneakers, but were more comfortable than my boots. Michael now has two pairs of birkenstocks, and he said that they’ve been wonderful. They’re expensive, but I was willing to give them a chance. So we ordered a pair online last night from birkenstockexpress.com<\/a>. I got some nice girly boots, the Marino<\/a>. They look nice (and girly, unlike the first ones I looked at). So I think I’ll be happy with them, they should arrive in about 10 days or so.<\/p>\n

I’m going to go try and cheer up, and get some more work done now. *wanders off*<\/p>\n
