Left Brain, Right Brain

Ahem. Sorry, I turn into a 12 year old AOLer when I get happy.

Anyway.

I did something fun to the CSS on my knitting blog! I made it so that the sections don't have set widths anymore, so they fit correctly in ANY size browser window on ANY monitor. YAY!!! I know, I know, big deal. Well, it is to me. I didn't like the way the original template just SET the widths. First off, they were too narrow, so I widened them. But then, I realized that not everyone has a super widescreen monitor like mine, so then they'd have to scroll back and forth to see the full page all at once. Yuck. So knowing the VERY VERY little that I do about CSS, I made them a PERCENTAGE wide instead of a number of pixels wide. Damn, why didn't they do that in the first place. I think the default LJ templates do that. You'd think Blogger would have thought of that. Meh. Oh well, it can be fixed, and I've done it.

I know this is pretty small stuff, rather trivial and everything, but bear in mind I know VERY little about any of this stuff, and have to learn every tiny thing that I need to know completely from scratch. Maybe I should get some books or something...

I have this knitting binder that I just put together in the last week or so. It's nice, because now I can keep track of all my WIPs and patterns and notes and stuff. I even made that nice little template that I use to keep track of my WIP notes and details. It's all come in VERY handy already.

So anyway, I have 5 extra-wide tabbed dividers that I want to use to keep the binder more organized as its contents grow. I don't know what to label the tabs!!! I mean, I have some rough ideas, I know I want one section for WIPs, and one for FO notes, and definitely one for Patterns, but what do I do with the other two? Miscellaneous info? Something else? Should I just leave them blank and figure it out later? (Ugh, I really don't like doing stuff like that. I'm so anal. ;)

Also, I have listed 16 categories that I generally sort patterns into. This is PERFECT - it means that I can buy 2 packs of the 8-tab dividers and then sub-divide the Patterns section! However, since the binder is just getting started, I might just hold off on this for now and keep things generally alphabetized until it gets out of hand. ( These are the categories I'm thinking of using )
I really love this stuff. I am CRAZY about those clear plastic sheet protectors - I can use them for patterns printed off the computer, photocopies from books, and patterns torn out of my magazines! Plus, once I'm done with a project, I can stick the notes into one of them so it doesn't get ripped or lost.

Oh my gosh this is hilarious. Mac OS X v10.9 "Liger"

Show your geeky friends. DO IT!

I am so excited about the New Year coming. I just can't wait to start using all my new calendars, schedulers, appointment books and stuff!!!
